A treasure trove of new Black Friday ads was released today, and The Inquisitr has the scoop on what Best Buy, Kmart, Bass Pro Shops, and other retailers are offering for the traditional beginning of the Christmas shopping season!
For better or for worse, Black Friday – the day after Thanksgiving – has become a holiday unto itself in the American culture as bargain-hunters line up in the cold, hours before store opening, to get the best Christmas shopping deals. Some retailers have even extended Black Friday to Thanksgiving Day, offering deals beginning early in the evening on Turkey Day.

Black Friday Strategy — Now that you know what some of your favorite retailers are offering on Black Friday, it’s important to have a strategy , according to Deal News writer, Louis Ramirez. The first order of business, says Ramirez, is to compare ads and look for the best deals. Several websites will compare ads for you to help sort out the better deals from the duds.
Equally important, says Ramirez, is to have a game plan.
“Make sure the deals you want will be available when you plan to shop; some stores will release sales at different times throughout the week and even the weekend.”
The Inquisitr will continue to offer more leaked Black Friday sales ads as they become available.
