Black Friday 2018: The Best In-Store Deals We Know About So Far
Attention, Black Friday shoppers: Black Friday 2018 is just days away. You'll find us sleeping off a turkey hangover in the earliest hours of Black Friday—no offense, 5:00 a.m.—but if you're the type to fight the masses for ALL the Black Friday savings, you have plenty of stores to choose from. Here's where to shop the best in-store-only Black Friday 2018 deals:
A.C. More: Shopping for a DIY lover? A.C. Moore has five-hour-only deals $5 starting at 5:00 A.M. on Friday. (Check ahead of time to confirm that time applies to your location.)
Best Buy: Black Friday starts a day early at Best Buy, with doors opening at 5:00 P.M. on Thursday, closing at 1:00 A.M. on Friday, and reopening at 8:00 A.M. Friday. You'll find doorbuster deals on the expected (TVs, video games) and the unexpected, like a KitchenAid Professional Series Stand Mixer for just $219. Check out Best Buy's Black Friday ad here.
Build-a-Bear: Black Friday at Build-a-Bear will include BFD. (Ahem, Big Furry Deals.) Look for $6 Snow Hugs Penguins while supplies last, and BOGO deals on other furry friends.
Dick's: This just in: All in-store or online customers will get 25 percent off their orders on Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
Home Depot: Home Depot's Black Friday ad will drop Wednesday. Get a $5 coupon ahead of time by signing up via their website for email or text sale alerts. Yahoo! reports that one deal will include $500 off six more appliances (Is it time for a kitchen makeover?) or $60 off two.
JCPenney: JCPenney might have the earliest Black Thursday hours of the bunch, with doors opening at 2:00 P.M. on Thursday (and Black Friday deals all-day Thursday at jcp.com) Early in-store shoppers could score coupons ($10 to $500 dollars off) while supplies last. (Obviously restrictions apply. We're not the legal department.)
Kohl's: Kohl's Black Friday deals come with an added incentive: For every $50 you spend from November 19 through 23, you'll get $15 in Kohl's Cash that you can spend from November 24 through December 5. So you're basically being paid to shop. While they'll have limited-quantity, limited-time in-store doorbusters starting at 5:00 P.M. on Thanksgiving, it seems that all of their deals will be available online too, starting at 12:01 A.M. on Thanksgiving, so if you know your way around the "Add to Cart" button, you can get your savings pre-dinner without leaving the house.
Macy's: You can hit Macy's for Black Friday deals after your turkey dinner wraps: Macy's is just giving away the gifts starting at 5:00 P.M. Thursday. If you have the patience to deal with mail-in rebates, you can get home goods (slow cookers, glassware, pillows), clothing (slippers, T-shirts), and more for $0 post-rebate. Additional items (a coffee pot and an assortment of pots and pans) will cost $7.99 each after mail-in rebate. Stores will reopen for actual Black Friday at 6:00 A.M. Expect deep discounts in every department.
Modell's: If someone on your holiday shopping list is in the market for sweats, head to Modell's at 6:00 P.M. Thursday for Black Friday doorbusters, including select Champion tops and bottoms starting at $10. Look for additional deals on all your favorite workout-clothing brands—plus, sneakers and sports equipment.
Target: In-store Black Friday deals begin on Thanksgiving at Target too, with doors opening at 5:00 P.M. on Thursday, closing at 1:00 A.M. on Friday, and reopening at 7:00 A.M. Friday. You'll find in-store-only doorbuster deals on phones, speakers, and more tech items—and all televisions. Check out Target's Black Friday ad here.
Walmart: Walmart's getting in on the Black Thursday action, opening its doors at 6:00 P.M. on Thanksgiving.
