Can’t Wait for Cyber Monday? Now You Don’t Have To

But the fact is, more and more retailers are kicking off their Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving. Finding and keeping track of all of these deals is not easy. Black Friday is just days away, which means it’s time to scout out the best deal. Black Friday shoppers are sure to get hungry too. Now, are we supposed to demolish whatever family time we have left by spending Thanksgiving night in a zombie line to get a discount on more electronic devices to distract us from what really matters? In addition to the ads, you’ll find a poignant adoption story revisited after 15 years, our popular Michigander section featuring things to do in December and an update on Brenda Leonard, who finally has a place she and her three dogs can call home.

If the retailers are focusing on their finances why shouldn’t you? “If you’re in a special section of the store between 6 and 7, you’re guaranteed to get that item you’re interested in”.

Black Friday has become synonymous in our minds with great deals.

Black Friday: Opens 8 a.m.

Even though 60 percent of holiday shoppers have already started making a dent in their lists, deals and discounts surrounding Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday will push an estimated 135.8 million shoppers to shop Thanksgiving weekend, according to the National Retail Federation (NRF) Preliminary Thanksgiving Weekend Survey. Start with how much money you can allot for holiday gifts (without dipping into important long-term savings), and then determine what items you want at what price points, and where they will be available at those prices.

You can also avoid the shops altogether and shop online instead. It could be before the 6pm launch of the Black Friday 2015 sale.
