From late Thanksgiving night to early Friday morning, shoppers will be losing sleep in hopes of finding all the best deals. Black Friday has become a huge deal in our society.
For some people, it’s a fun thrilling experience to compete for all the best deals and for others, it’s the only way they can afford gifts for their family and friends this holiday season. Whatever your reason for shopping may be, I did some research myself to save you time and help you find some great deals.
Need to purchase electronics? Look no further than Target. The doors open at 8 p.m. Thanksgiving night. So after you enjoy your turkey dinner, you can head to Target for some major deals.
One great special they are offering is $97 dollar Dr. Dre Beats headphones. They were a very popular gift last year and are great for any music lover. They are also offering the new Beats Studio headphones for only $249.99.
For any gamer you know, the Xbox One Plus is the perfect gift. It is on sale for $329, plus you receive a free $50 target gift card with purchase. Target also has other amazing deals such as a $100 Nikon camera, $89 Apple TV, and a $69 tablet.
Want to get your shopping done Thursday evening? Kohl’s is opening at 6 p.m. They are offering some great deals storewide. For every $50 you spend, you get $15 in Kohl’s cash. They have some electronic deals such as a $99.99 32” Direct LED HDTV, a $179.99 Beats Pill, $39.99 iHome, $99.99 HP tablet, and $129.99 Xbox 360. They also have great deals, as usual, on clothing for the whole family.

Your one-stop shop for dress apparel is definitely Macy’s. They open at 6 p.m. Thanksgiving night. They are offering buy one get one free junior’s apparel and $19.99 Rampage boots. For him, they have $79.99 Tommy Hilfiger coats and $19.99 dress shirts or ties. And if you decide to get yourself a little something, they have $9.99 kitchen utilities, such as toasters or griddles, that you could use in your apartment or dorm.
If you are not much of a shopper and still wish to get some great deals, I am sure there will be lots of online discounts on Cyber Monday. Or if you wish to brave the Black Friday crowd, I know from personal experience that the malls are always significantly less crowded than the large department stores. I wish you all a safe and happy shopping experience!
