A new power tool, Christmas presents or a television for the lounge room: Black Friday shopping can start with very different wish lists. During Black Friday 2025, Bunnings Warehouse, BIG W and JB Hi-Fi were among the most viewed retailers on Latestcatalogues.com. Together, they offer a useful starting point for this year’s planning, covering projects around the house, family shopping and technology.
Black Friday 2026 falls on Friday, 27 November. Retailers set their own campaign dates, so it is worth checking catalogues before the day itself. Here is what last year’s activity tells us about these three reader favourites and the categories worth following this November.
Bunnings Warehouse: look beyond the price ticket
For anyone planning a garden refresh or a job in the shed, Bunnings Warehouse catalogues are a practical place to start. Tools, outdoor equipment and home improvement products are relevant categories to browse, especially when you already know what a project requires.
A documented promotion from 2025 shows why the offer’s structure matters. Under Bunnings’ Spend and Get terms, qualifying purchases of selected brands from 28 to 30 November could earn eGift cards. The minimum qualifying spend was $250, with the reward depending on the purchase amount and the promotion’s conditions. Customers also had to follow the redemption process.
That arrangement rewarded eligible spending with a later benefit. If a similar promotion returns in 2026, consider whether you would use the gift card on another planned purchase. Check which tools and accessories qualify, and compare the total cost of the equipment you actually need.
BIG W: family gifts and the summer ahead
BIG W’s catalogues suit a different shopping list: toys, books, clothing and items for the home. With Christmas and the summer holidays approaching, several smaller purchases can be just as relevant as one expensive item.
An archived BIG W Black Friday email from November 2025 highlighted limited-time offers on books and summer products. It provides a useful example of the seasonal categories featured in that campaign, although individual offers had their own eligibility rules and sale periods.
For 2026, books, gifts and summer essentials are categories worth checking as the catalogues appear. Start with the people on your gift list and the activities you have planned. That makes it easier to judge a bundle or multibuy: several appealing items only represent good value if you have a use for them.
JB Hi-Fi: compare the exact technology
Among shoppers researching electronics, JB Hi-Fi offers plenty to explore, including televisions, computers, audio equipment and gaming products.
Its archived Black Friday Blitz catalogue was valid from 28 November to 1 December 2025. That gives a clear historical example of a campaign continuing beyond Friday into the following Monday.
If you are watching JB Hi-Fi this year, shortlist exact model numbers rather than broad descriptions such as “a large TV” or “wireless headphones”. Screen technology, storage, connections and included accessories can affect how suitable a product is. A previous-generation model could meet your needs perfectly, but comparing its features with a newer version will help you decide.
Could these reader favourites attract attention again?
The same three retailers could draw interest in 2026 because they cover different planned purchases: tools and outdoor projects, family gifts, and technology upgrades. Last year’s campaigns offer clues about what to monitor, while this year’s published offers will determine which purchases are worthwhile.
Watch for the type of benefit as well as the advertised price. A gift card, a limited-time product offer and a technology bundle each need a slightly different comparison. Past campaign dates and conditions should stay in the past until a retailer announces its new arrangements.
Browse our Black Friday catalogues as they become available, check the dates on each leaflet and keep your shortlist handy. Latestcatalogues helps you discover and compare the advertised offers. Confirm availability and final purchase conditions with the retailer before buying.
