Hi addicts! As promised, I am continuing my Black Friday madness with updates on ads. New ads have been released!! Side note: it's not unusual for big retailers to start doing these 1 day events leading up to Black Friday. They want to capitalize on the revenue for more than just a day and I get it. On to the real deal. New ads released are Walgreens, Kohls, Petsmart, Sams, JC Penney, Kmart, Michaels, Sports Authority
Walgreens.
Does anyone really Brown Thursday or Black Friday Walgreens? I never have but in case you have, here's your jam for the day...click HERE
Kohls.
Kohl's Black Friday is what a lot of your dreams are made of. In my opinion, Kohls is worse than Walmart on this day because you have to contend with all of the mom's shopping for $2 jams for their kids and a $6 blanket. I'd much rather be with the ballers trying to haul ass on the electronics. I already got in a bitch fight with a 16 year old two years ago over some Victoria's Secret sweatpants and I'm not keen on reliving that situation again. To view the ad, click HERE
The deals to note: They are opening at 6PM on Thanksgiving Day. I predicted this early start time. It gets earlier and earlier every year. It's really not Black Friday anymore because we have been done shopping by midnight on Thanksgiving for the last 2 years but whatev.
50% off all toys (enjoy that brawl. If I were you, I'd go the day before and hide what you want in the juniors clothing section)
Various deals on electronics
$25 mail in rebate on fitbits
Video gaming system and game deals
Usual jewelry sale (4 pages worth)
Kitchenaid Mixers (Only 10% off. Not worth standing in line if you ask me)
$99 Keurig ($50 off retail) this one is typical. Everyone will have this. I would hold out for a better deal)
$10 appliances (This one is actually great! They have a much larger variety than last year and better brands and some are $7.99)
60%-75% off luggage
20%-50% off vacuums
60% off accent furniture
Various Christmas decor sales
Various blanket, bedding and towel sales
Various cold weather clothing deals (no better than a regular sale if you ask me)
Various shoe deals (these are great prices but again, wouldn't stand in line. I would go for things online as they will be the same price or hit them on cyber monday)
All in all, Kohls had 40 pages of Black Friday deals. Nice spread. If you're trying to Christmas shop for your family, I would say this could be your one-stop-shop. Just know Kohls will be crazy and they have some of the worst check out lines I have ever seen. There are great deals and things I would want out of this display of merch but I will likely hit this on Cyber Monday. If it's your jam, get there about 2 hours early and have your store map ready with your game plan. Your key to getting in and out of this one will be how fast you can shop and get in line. Skip the cart, bring your own large tote bag.
Petsmart,
Stores open at 7am on Black Friday but there sales will start online on the 27th. The first 100 customers in the store will get a stocking filled with animal shit. Not do do...just cat and dog items. This is traditional Black Friday. A morning start time and a door giveaway is how it should be done. Petsmart always stays classy on this day and this year will be no different.
50% off 100s of dog items including toys, food, treats, bedding, clothing, treats and cages
Discounted select cat foods, treats, play towers and litter boxes
50% off fish tanks and accessories
50% off select animals
I will be hitting up this one for cat food. My little bundle of joy's food variety will be 25 cents off per can. HUGE savings!! This one is nice because by 7am Friday I will be done with the big dogs and off to the smaller, less intense stores. View the full ad HERE
Sams.
Sams is opening at 7am on Black Friday but their deals will start online on Thanksgiving Day.
$99 Keurig that brews up to a 4-cup carafe with a bonus of 42 K Cups (this is an awesome deal! If I didn't already have a Keurig, I would be in line for this one)
Various tv, gaming, phone, electronic, computer, camera, jewelry deals. This ad is a really random one so you better just take a look at it HERE
JC Penney.
They open at 5pm on Thanksgiving Day so I'm assuming that's when everyone in the mall will be opening. I believe they held out until 10:00 last year so this is a huge bump up in time. This ad is 72 pages, no bullshit so if you want to view it click HERE
Kmart.
Again, this on is 56 pages so you're on your own HERE
Michaels.
Michaels has coupons for each day. Thursday 4pm -2am (earliest start time award goes to Michaels so far!) coupon valued at 30% off entire price purchase including sale items. Black Friday Coupon 7am-noon Same as Thursday. Black Friday Coupon noon-10pm 40% entire price purchase. Saturday 8am-noon 25% off entire price purchase. Sunday noon-10pm 50% off one regular priced item. So the time to hit Michaels is going to be on Black Friday noon-10pm. If there is something you really want, go to the store before noon and just hang out until that time hits. They have various Christmas decor and wrapping paper 50% off then you can get 40% off your entire purchase. This combo alone lets me know Michael's is going to be a frenzy. They have other things besides Christmas items so view the whole shebang HERE
Sports Authority.
They open Thursday at 6pm. Like last year, it looks like they are passing out cards to people in line to the first 80 people for money off their merchandise. Last year my friend actually got $100 off! They have $25 off coupons on the ad. First 50 people in line get a free cloth fold up chair. Their doorbuster are sports equipment, tennis shoes, exercise equipment, clothing for men and women. The best deal here in clothing is up to $70 off North Face. They have different deals running throughout the weekend so view it all HERE
I am still waiting on the heavy hitters Macys, Target and Walmart. I will post those as soon as I see them. My thoughts so far are that people are opening way too early on Thanksgiving. I at least get one meal with my family on that day since we eat earlier but if they keep opening like this, there won't be Thanksgiving for anyone. All stores should open at midnight on Black Friday the way they used to. I am still formulating my plan of attack and compiling the mall deals. Those are a little harder to find so I will do a new post with those when I am finished. If you want to know about a store and don't see it listed, comment below and I'll see what I can find.
