We’ve just got word on three major retailers hours for Black Friday 2011 and looks like the trend will be opening early, VERY early.
Macy’s – Midnight on Black Friday
Target – Midnight on Black Friday
Toys R Us – 10pm on Thanksgiving!
Kohl’s – Midnight on Black Friday
Best Buy – Midnight on Black Friday
JC Penney – 4am on Black Friday
Sears – 4am on Black Friday
Walmart is “Rumored” to be starting things up at 10pm on Thanksgiving, but not confirmed as of yet.
So if you are not too full from the Turkey and Stuffing activities earlier in the day or not still glued to the television watching football highlights you may want to get things started early this year and pull an all-nighter.
As far as shopaholics & bargain hunters are concerned, Black Friday is the biggest, best holiday of the year, period.
Even to the casual window shopper Black Friday is known the absolute best day all year to find deals both online (aside from Cyber Monday) and in person.
Electronics are usually always the hot products and this year will be no different. Laptops, cameras, phones, HDTVs and tablets will be flying off the shelf. You can seriously save $100′s to $1000′s of dollars on your purchases if you shop wisely and are prepared on this late November day.
We are prepping for the biggest and best Black Friday yet and you should be too…we are in the process of updating our Guides and Cheat Sheets so you have all the advantages you possibly can and are as well prepared as possible to take on the crowds (or the mouse) to find the best of the best deals around.
Looking forward to the end of November
