- Tablets & Audio/Visual
In case you haven't heard, the Black Friday craze began a bit early this year. Starting as early as October we saw major price drops in electronics and toys. Around mid-November so-called "leaked" Black Friday store circulars started flooding the Web and retailers raced to be the first to sell Black Friday deals. Walmart, Target, Sears, Staples, and even Macy's have all announced they will open on Thanksgiving Day to offer Black Friday savings earlier than ever.
Cyber Monday and Black Friday are forecast to be major revenue holidays for retailers, which equates to major discounts for shoppers. Despite starting early, this shopping season will be the shortest we've seen in over a decade—nearly a week shorter than last year—giving retailers less time to make their holiday sale numbers.
To entice you to spend with them, retailers are prematurely slashing online prices and offering Black Friday (November 29) price match guarantees on products purchased online at pre-Black Friday deal prices. These price drops aren't exclusive to any one deal; a host of online retailers and brands are offering pre-Black Friday deals across a wide range of product categories. More than any year prior, this year you can shop and find true Black Friday prices online before the official calendar day.
Avoid being a day late and a dollar short when you shop this year. Join in the early-bird shopping trend and get your Black Friday prices before November 29 with these 20 pre-Black Friday deals.
