Black Friday shopping used to mean getting up early, lining up outside of a big-box store in freezing weather and potentially trampling over your neighbor to get the last discounted KitchenAid mixer in Eggshell White. Things are changing, however. In 2021, more people shopped from home on Black Friday than in stores—66.5 million in person compared to 88 million online, according to Wallethub.
This year might look a little different as well. With high inflation, our holiday shopping budgets are likely to be a little tighter. (Wallethub also calculated the optimal maximum holiday budget by city, using population, income, age, savings-and monthly expenses. Salt Lake City’s is $897.) So, rather than buying the latest toys to fill the void in our lives, that money might be better spent creating lifelong memories with events and experiences and supporting local Salt Lake City businesses that are getting involved in the Black Friday game.
Black Friday Deals in Salt Lake City
Harmons Neighborhood Grocer

Hip & Humble
This lovely boutique in the 9th and 9th area (and at Station Park) is often our answer to “oh no, we forgot to get so and so a gift!” It offers a wide range of gifts from very special to very fun. The store is offering 20% off items and a $5 “bounce-back” card with a $50 purchase. And for Shop Small Saturday (Nov. 26, 2020) both locations are throwing a little party with sparkly drinks, raffles, free gifts with purchase and more. Visit hipandhumble.com.

Salt Lake Bees Holiday Ticket Packs
The Salt Lake Bees are offering packs of four ($39) or 10 ($89) ticket vouchers now through Dec. 15. The vouchers get you the best available seats to any Salt Lake Bees game, a screaming deal. You still have to buy your own hot dog, beer and peanuts, however. Visit milb.com/salt-lake for all the details.
Salt & Honey Market
While this artisans’ marketplace (with storefronts at 9th and 9th and the Salt Lake City Visitor’s Center at the Salt Palace) doesn’t have any specific Black Friday deals, it is definitely worth a mention. The stores are solely dedicated to showcasing the work of local artisans and makers and its festive Christmas Market at Fashion Place is open through Dec. 31.
S&S Presents
The owners of Urban Lounge & Metro Music Hall or Kilby Court are once again offering up the “Golden Ticket” packages. These tickets give the lucky holder access to any S&S Presents show (even if they are sold out) for the entire year of 2026. Whoa. There’s one for adults with 21-and-over access to Urban and Metro ($250) and one for all-ages Kilby Court shows ($150). One caveat: the Golden Ticket only applies to shows by S&S Presents (which is most of them) and not gigs from outside promoters like Live Nation, Viva La Diva and others. It’s on sale now through Dec. 31. Visit snspresents.com for full details.
Utah Shakespeare Festival
Celebrate 65 years of theatre with Utah Shakespeare Festival’s annual Cyber sale. Take $10 off every ticket of the 2026 season. Shows include Hamlet, Twelfth Night and Something Rotten!
