Best Buy sets new Black Friday Deals and holiday hours for 2016

Across the USA, retailers continue to be divided on the benefits and drawbacks of doing business on Thanksgiving, an American holiday long considered too family-oriented for merchants to turn into another business day. This is a great deal, considering that you get to buy a $399 table for just $99. Wal-Mart is making its Black Friday circular available starting this Thursday through its app.

– Lines, lines and more lines. I’m talking about shopping on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday before Black Friday and scoring a deal. OR, you may find the item goes down in price and the store may price-match.

– Doorbusters and other special deals tend to come in limited quantity, according to Chou. The locations on the map include the doorbuster deals that require a wristband. Whether you decide to fearless the crowds or shop online it is always a good idea to be prepared. Oh, and you’ll need your phone to communicate with the members of your shopping squad!

– Shopping on Cyber Monday offers convenience, says Mihaela Akers, former director of customer intelligence and experience management at Ralph Lauren. It’s likely more will follow suit, though many, including Best Buy, Target, and Toys R Us haven’t released their plans.

There are also some great buys in the health electronics arena that are worth checking out if you’ve been considering getting a fitness tracker for awhile.

When you buy a Samsung Galaxy S7 or Galaxy Note 5 (not the exploding Note 7, thank God!) you get the second one at flat 50% off with bill credit. For example: one easy trick could pay you as much as $15,834 more. each year! Sure, most of us don’t use DVDs anymore, but if you buy a Disney movie, you can easily grab a digital copy for your smartphone or tablet. Research prices on popular items ahead of the event and don’t allow big discount claims to influence your spending. I mean if you work at a supermarket, police station, hospital, newspaper, as a paramedic, a firefighter, or as casino workers you are forced to be at work on turkey day.

It shows there is still life in the consumer product that looked like it might be a goner after a rough year.

Here are some of the online Walmart Black Friday 2016 deals we expect. We should soon get a clearer idea of what kind of momentum big retail has headed into this all-important time of year: Macy’s is set to report earnings Thursday morning, and Walmart, Target, Best Buy and others will do so in the following week.

This year, Walmart will increase the number of items with Black Friday discounts allocated to online shoppers by about 50 percent, said U.S. Chief Merchandising Officer Steve Bratspies.

Others, including the Mall of America, the nation’s largest shopping mall, are closing for Thanksgiving this year after being open for the past several years.

The Shops at Fallen Timbers made it optional for retailers to open at 6 p.m. on the holiday. And the best part – this deal is valid for all storage capacity variants.
