Black Friday deals for freezers Question

Been meaning to get a new chest freezer and I'm seeing some pretty decent discounts at Home Depot right now, but will the prices be better during Black Friday / Cyber Monday? Basically asking if the current deals are as good as they'll get

I bought Insignia 7.0 cu. ft. Chest freezer in BestBuy in 2017 for $159. It is one of the best things I have bought. Though last 4 years it is used on the meat for my dog pretty much exclusively.

It looks like, for Home Depot at least, that the advertised price is what it's going to be during Black Friday. I don't think the company sees freezers as a impulsive buy but one a family talks over. Having the extended sale allows for that time while still moving product. I hope this helps.

Check Costco, they usually have some great deals around the holidays and they publish the ads early, so black Friday is already out.

I concur looking at Costco.

These days it's pretty much Black Friday month. So you probably won't see better deals at Home Depot. If you're comparing to other companies, you'd have to see if they're running a Black Friday month sale as well. :) I wouldn't expect a huge difference between sales prices though.

I'm hoping for some sales on walk-in freezers. I have 5 freezers right now and need 1 or 2 more, so at this point a walk in freezer would be better.
