Lowes Black Friday Ad

Even though it's titled as a Black Friday sale, Lowe's claims that their pricing will be effective starting Thanksgiving Day at 12:01am EST and will last through the following Monday (Cyber Monday).

The preview was only meant for MyLowe's cardholders who registered their cards, but as we know with Black Friday ads, once the information is out there, it's going to show up everywhere.

It took a little over a week last year for the full ad to appear after the "preview" list, but we expect their ad to appear much sooner this year. Be sure to stay tuned!

Radio Shack Black Friday Ad

A change of pace from the Sears and Gander Mountain sales, Radio Shack Black Friday Ad will begin their Black Friday sale at a more traditional 6am start-time.

To be expected, the ad primarily features deals on cellphones, cameras and a wide variety of electronics; here are a few highlights below:

Samsung Bluetooth Headset $12.99
Brother P-Touch Label Printer $9.99 (Reg $39.99)
SanDisc 32gb USB Flash Drive $9.99

Old Navy Black Friday Ad

Old Navy's Black Friday sale begins at midnight during which they'll have three rounds of doorbusters: one from midnight - 4am, another from 4am - 8am, and a final one from 8am - noon. And for those that can't make it on Friday, Old Navy will have one last set of doorbusters valid all day Saturday.

But the biggest draw to the Old Navy sale will be the "extremely limited amount" of shoppers who will receive a free copy of New Super Mario Bros. U (for the Nintendo Wii U) with a $40 purchase. Considering the $60 retail value of the video-game, that's a pretty lucrative offer.

Bed, Bath and Beyond Black Friday Ad

The Bed, Bath & Beyond Black Friday sale is interesting in that shoppers only need to show up between 6am and noon to receive a 20% off coupon that is good all-day Friday.

This positions Bed, Bath and Beyond as a prime destination for shoppers who have already completed their shopping at the larger big-box retailers and are looking for savings later in the day.

They are also offering 25% off Dyson Vacuums and Heaters, unfortunately, the 20% off coupon excludes Dyson products so there's no way to stack the discounts.

Sears Thanksgiving and Black Friday Ads

Here are the Sears Thanksgiving Day Doorbusters advertisement listing along with its corresponding 28-page Sears Thanksgiving Day Doorbusters advertisement scan.

they also have the 36-page Sears Black Friday advertisement scan.

Bear with me as I try to explain the differences between the two ads. The Sears Thanksgiving ad is really the first-wave of Black Friday sales that start Thanksgiving Day at 8pm.

The first 19 pages of the Sears Black Friday ad are for the second-wave of Black Friday sales that start Friday morning at 3am. The remaining pages are for Sears Weekend-long sale which begins on Thanksgiving Day and lasts through Sunday, November 25.

It is a bit confusing, but splitting the ad in two was the best solution we could come up that didn't involve having to individually label each item with its sale time.

Thanks for Visiting and Tell Your Friends!

Staples Black Friday Ad

Staples' Black Friday sale starts at 5am with the door-busters (all items on the first two pages) expiring at noon. Unfortunately, the door-buster deals are claimed to be "in-store only" and many require Staples "easy-rebates."

Kmart Black Friday Ad

Kmart will begin their Thanksgiving Day sale at 6am.

Please note that the first 11 pages of the Thanksgiving Day advertisement scan are Thursday-only specials, while the remaining 13 pages are for the Thursday through Saturday three-day sale.

Cabela's Black Friday Ad

The first four pages of the ad are for the Cabela's 5-hour Black Friday door-buster sale starting at 5am, while the remaining 24 pages are for the Friday through Wednesday (Nov 28) extended weekend sale.

Online shoppers, however, can get an early start on things as Cabela's online Black Friday sale will be live on Cabelas.com on Thanksgiving Day.

In addition to all the deals, Cabela's will be giving away over $6400 in products to the first 600 people in line by 5am. Prizes include a Browning A-Bolt Medallion 300 WSM Rifle and a Masterbuilt 30-in Electric Smoker.

There are some really great deals to be found!

Sam's Club Black Friday Ad

Sam's has been known to pass out coffee and light breakfast items to early bird shoppers and this year is no different as Sam's shoppers will receive a complimentary Starbucks coffee and delicious Artisan Fresh pastry.

Black Friday Savings Event "members only" starts at 7a.m., November 23rd

Let me know what kind of great deals you come up with. Happy event planning!

Best Buy Black Friday Preview

I guess Best Buy is claiming this as just a "preview" of their Black Friday Ad, but at 22 full pages, Best Buy may have accidentally (or on purpose), leaked the full thing!

Best Buy will again be opening their doors at midnight this year, however to minimize chaos, Best Buy employees will be handing out claim tickets for the door-busters up to 2 hours prior to opening. Online shoppers can get an early start on things by shopping BestBuy.com on Thanksgiving Day.
