Countdown to Black Friday Sales

If you’ve skipped pre-Black Friday sales in anticipation of better deals, your patience will likely be rewarded.

If you want a break from the crowds, ShopperTrak suggests shopping on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday after Thanksgiving, and the first Monday and Tuesday in December.

Some of the best Black Friday tech deals can be found in Walmart, Target and Best Buy. Ties are broken alphabetically.

Black Friday shoppers are expected to flood various retailers on November 25 to take advantage of the huge discounts and great deals.

Note: Prices reflect the cost of each item (not including shipping) and are subject to change. Know what items you’re looking for and where the best sales are for those specific items. Stores of all types hold special discount sales and promotions meant to get everyone excited about the Christmas season kickoff and get you spending like, well, like insane. Then, after the Friday flurry subsides, they’ll either bring back all the extras they don’t need or sell them online. “Consumers should regularly check bank statements for any unusual activity, as cyber criminals often make small but regular thefts which are harder to spot than larger one-off purchases”. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One S already allow you to play certain games in HDR, with more content coming next year. This is what is called two-factor authentication – when you need another mode of verification (other than your password) to authorise a transaction.

The given store hours may vary depending on the location.

Target and Walmart will be the place to go for video gaming consoles.

Data is king today and retailers use it for a lot of things including determining how much a consumer is willing, or able to pay for an item based on search or purchasing history. A quick glance at the screen on your smartphone could find better deals elsewhere. You get all sorts of special discount at all of your favorite stores, restaurants and more.

When the staff of a huge electronics store looks to the Black Friday shopping onslaught, there’s no shortage of preparation. Target’s also offering a 28 percent off on GoPro Hero Session bundle that includes a handler floating stick and 16GB memory card for $180.
