Black Fridays Deals: The Best Black Friday Deals of 2012

The days are getting shorter, the turkey selection is getting thinner…it’s beginning to look a lot like….BLACK FRIDAY! (You thought we were going to say Thanksgiving, didn’t you?) On November 23 scores of stores are going to be slashing prices on TVs, appliances, clothes —  you name it — down to basically nothing. It’s an overwhelming process but we’ve got your back (but not literally, you’ve got to be able to hold your own for those doorbusters).

 

Amazon

It’s Cyber Friday on this website where you can find big-screen HDTVs for under $1,000, 25% off laptops and more than 50% off some kids toys!

Bed Bath & Beyond 

Very straight forward over here: 20% off your entire purchase — IF you shop between 6 am and noon.

Best Buy

Stores open at midnight on Friday (and they’ll hand out entrance tickets up to two hours before) to score deals like $240 off a 40 inch Toshiba TV, $225 off laptops and DVDs like Breaking Bad Season 4 for just $8.99!

Kohl’s

First of all: everyone gets $15 Kohl’s Cash for every $50 spent between Nov. 21 and Nov. 25 (Kohl’s cash redeemable Nov. 25 – Dec. 3). Early bird specials are 55-60% off plus an extra 20% off fine jewelry.

Lowe’s

Sneak peek at the sale includes patio heaters down to $99 from $189, fire pits for $39 from $79 and tons of tools for more than 50% off.

Toys R Us 

First 200 shoppers per store nab a goody bag with $30 worth of stocking stuffers. Amazing deals? Buy a 4th generation iPod Touch and they’ll give you a $20 Toys R Us gift card PLUS a $30 iTunes card and BOGO on all store brand batteries!
