Last year Black Friday turned sour for me. I am scanning through this year deals picking the best places to shop and here is what I have found so far:
- Best Buy has published all the deals online. Doorbusters will only be available in stores 5 a.m. on Friday but you can pretty much order anything else.
- Office Depot offers a preview of what is going to be on sale come tomorrow morning. On-line sale starts 7am and the stores open 6am.
- Both Staples and OfficeMax are running online sale events but I have not seen anything on what is going to be offered in stores
- JCPenney mailed out $10 off $50 and $15 off $75 coupons good on Black Friday from 3pm to close.
- Michaels sent out a few printable coupons. On Friday you get 25% off entire purchase (until noon) or 50% off single regular priced item (after noon). On Saturday the discounts are 20% and 50% respectively.
- Macy’s Thanksgiving sale features 15% off already reduced prices and is good all day Friday and Saturday (Macy’s cardholders only) plus on Firday till 1pm you get $10 off $25
- Aeropostale has an amazing sale going on with through December 1st with 50% to 70% off everything on the website (excluding clearance items)
- Perry Ellis sent out an email with a 30% off store wide coupon good till November 30.
The merchants that don’t have brick & mortar stores are keeping up as well:
- Amazon offers a slew of deals at their Black Friday Deals page.
- NewEgg has a dedicated page for Black Friday deals, all available for sale now
- Shop4tech has just launched the hottest promotion I have ever seen - 18% off sitewide + free digital camera kit with orders $40 or more, now till December 1
Overall discounts are much better this year around. Will see what happens tomorrow. Where do you shop this Black Friday? Please share your tips in the comments!
