Buckle’s Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

March 27, 2025 BlackerFriday.com 2 Comments

Whether you’re looking for denim, boots, graphic tees, or premium brands, Buckle is expected to roll out major discounts both in stores and online this upcoming Black Friday.

Based on previous years, we’ve put together a guide on what to expect, when the sale will likely start, how much you can save, and what types of deals to look out for. If Buckle is on your shopping list this year, here’s what you need to know.

When Will Buckle’s Black Friday 2025 Sale Start?

Looking at past trends, Buckle tends to start their Black Friday sale early rather than limiting it to just one day. In 2025, we expect the sale to begin on Friday, November 21, 2025, and run all the way through Cyber Monday on December 1, 2025.

This means shoppers will have 11 full days to score deals. However, inventory varies by store, and stock sells out fast, especially online. If you’re after specific sizes or styles, it’s best to shop early.

How Big Are the Discounts?

Buckle has a tiered discount approach for Black Friday, meaning some items get bigger markdowns than others. This year, the biggest discount expected is:

An extra 25% off the lowest listed price on select sale styles.
Some items could be up to 75% off their original price.
Discounts will be available both in stores and online (but stock will vary).

Just keep in mind that some exclusions will apply, likely on premium brands or new arrivals.

What Kind of Deals Can You Expect?

Buckle’s Black Friday deals usually focus on popular brands, denim, footwear, and seasonal fashion. Here’s what will likely be marked down:

Denim Deals

Buckle is known for its denim selection, so expect big savings on brands like BKE, Rock Revival, Miss Me, KanCan, and Levi’s.

Skinny, straight-leg, bootcut, and distressed styles will likely be included.
Women’s and men’s stretch denim and ripped styles tend to be marked down the most.
Black Friday is usually the best time to grab buy-one-get-one (BOGO) deals on jeans.

Shirts & Hoodies

Graphic tees from brands like American Fighter, Affliction, and Buckle Black are usually featured.
Flannel and fleece-lined shirts tend to be discounted as colder weather kicks in.
Expect 25% or more off on hoodies, sweatshirts, and oversized pullovers.

Shoes & Boots

Buckle’s shoe selection includes casual, Western, and streetwear styles, so watch for markdowns on:

Hey Dude and Birkenstock slip-ons (which sold out quickly last year).
Ariat and Justin cowboy boots – if they go on sale, it’s a solid buy.
Vans, Nike, and Adidas sneakers – these sometimes get included in Black Friday deals.

Jackets & Outerwear

Sherpa-lined denim jackets and fleece pullovers are usually a Black Friday favorite.
Leather and faux-leather moto jackets tend to get discounted around 30-50%.
Puffer coats, bomber jackets, and hooded parkas will likely see markdowns, especially in men’s styles.

Accessories

Hats, beanies, and snapbacks – perfect for winter, and often part of site-wide deals.
Belts and wallets from brands like Ariat and Fossil might get marked down.
Bags and backpacks (especially styles from Herschel and Oakley) are worth checking.

Brownells Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

March 27, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Brownells’ Black Friday Sale is known for offering some of the best dals of the season on firearms and hunting gear. Based on previous years, here’s what you can expect from Brownells’ upcoming 2025 Black Friday event.

Expected Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

Historically, Brownells’ Black Friday sales have spanned from late November into early December. Last year, the sale ran for a full week; from the Sunday before Thanksgiving weekend through the holiday, ending on Sunday night. Following this pattern, it’s reasonable to anticipate that the 2025 event will run from Sunday, November 24, 2024 and end on Sunday, November 30, 2024.

Expected Discounts and Promotions

Brownells is known for offering site-wide discounts during Black Friday. In 2024, they provided free shipping on orders over $49 and a 15% discount on nearly all products using a specific promo code. In 2024, some of the standout deals included:

BRN-180 Gen 2 Upper Receivers: These were available at some of the best prices of the year.
BRN-4 Kits: Offered at $699.99, these kits provided an affordable option for those interested in assembling their own firearms.
Glock Slides and Frames: Complete slide assemblies started at $199.99, and SCT frames for Glock models were priced at $69.99.

While we can’t confirm the exact deals for 2025, it’s reasonable to expect similar promotions on popular items.

Possible Early Black Friday Deals

In addition to the main event, Brownells has previously offered early Black Friday deals. For example, in 2024, they provided up to 25% off Bravo Company parts and accessories and up to 32% off Midwest Industries parts during the weekends leading up to Black Friday. These early deals can be an opportunity to secure discounts before the main sale begins.

TurboTax 2025 Service Codes & Discounts, March 2025

March 17, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Monday, March 17, 2025: Why pay full price on your tax software when you don’t have to – right? That’s where we can help! We’re tracking all the top discounts and service codes (a.k.a. coupons) on TurboTax again during the 2025 season to help you find the best price possible on your tax prep software. Below is our list of favorite deals available today (we are updating this list on an ongoing basis as new deals emerge from now through this year’s tax deadline on April 15th).

Our Favorite TurboTax Deals, March 2025:

Offer #1: Get an EXTRA 10% off TurboTax Online versions when ordered directly at intuit.com. Choose from the regular do-it-yourself, the Assisted or Full Service “live” editions. Offer ends on midnight PST on March 31, 2025.

This is an instant discount sale with no additional rebates or codes required. The online versions of TurboTax are the most popular choice these last few years as there’s no software to install and you work on your return from any one of your computers or tablets (especially helpful if you and your spouse both work on your taxes together if you have an accountant review your return before filing).

Offer #2: The QuickBooks Solopreneur (with Live Assisted Tax) lets you use QuickBooks all year long and then, once tax season comes along, file with TurboTax Self-Employed.

If you’re already a QuickBooks user then this is definitely worth taking a look at, especially if you are a small business owner that prefers to back up your tax data online rather than having everything stored on your local hard drive. The Bundle is now on sale for $10/month for your first 3 months in the program. Then after the introductory period, it’ll cost you either $20/month, but you’ll be able to cancel the plans at any time.

Offer #3: There’s something called the TurboTax Advantage Program where if you signup to their auto-renew program (where you buy TurboTax automatically each year once it’s released) you’ll get some extra free perks.

It’s completely free to join and includes live phone support from a dedicated help line, free product shipping (if you choose the CD versions), and up to 3-years of access or re-download of your tax product purchased. See Intuit’s site for full details on the program.

Offer #4: Haven’t ever used TurboTax before? Thinking about trying it for the first time this year? Or maybe you just want to estimate you tax refund? Then you can start and work through nearly your entire return with any of TurboTax’s Online versions.

It’ll guide you through your tax forms, apply your anticipated deductions and give you an overview on how big of a refund you can expect this year (or for those unlucky folks, how much you still owe in State and/or Federal taxes). You can also check out the bank syncing feature with your Bank of America, Citi, Discover, or any other larger financial institution and see how easy it is to import your tax data. Then once you reach the end, it’ll ask you to pay if you wish to file. If you don’t, it doesn’t cost you anything. It’s as simple as that!

Offer #5: You’ve heard the saying “nothing in life is free” right? Well, for those serving our country in the military, you may qualify for free TurboTax software for the 2025 tax season with the TurboTax Freedom Edition.

See this post for full details and how to qualify.

You’ll notice that none of these offers on this page require you to use any physical coupon codes at checkout (or “service codes” as they are also know as). That’s because most of the deals are link-based, meaning they will be applied automatically to your order. Others, like the Amazon deals are just sale prices with most of the bundle offers require you to purchase two qualifying products to get the special discounted price. That’s simple enough, right?

We should also say that it’s also worth checking with your local credit union, credit card company or bank to see if they are partnered with TurboTax. In the past, financial institutions like Capital One, Bank of America, Citi Bank, Vanguard, Merrill Lynch, AAA, Nasa Federal Credit Union, PenFed, and Discover Card have all discounts in the past. Some of the deals we along the line of just a few bucks off while others offered up to $20.00 off. The discounts will vary by company and will depend on your customer level.
