Staff WriterThe day after Thanksgiving has a sound of its own. It’s the hustle and bustle that lets everyone know the season of giving is around the corner. It’s Black Friday. Stores everywhere have door buster deals that make people act crazy, buying toys for naughty and nice girls and boys. For some families Black Friday is a tradition. Eat turkey on Thursday and get up bright and early on Friday morning. This year offers some changes in store hours. Some stores such as Walmart and Sears will open at 8 p.m. on Thursday. The 2012 holiday spirit starts early, so get those lists and check ‘em twice.
Are you hoping that Apple stores will have amazing deals on iPads and iPhones? Well, you won’t find the sales there. Walmart has the iPad 2 for $399, while Target has the iPad with retina display for $499. Don’t be too disappointed in Apple, all of their accessories such as headphones and cases are discounted. They also have a free app called “TGI Black Friday” which will guide you to the best deals.
Do you have a movie-lover in the family? Walmart and Target have select DVDs and Blu-Ray discs for under $10. Select X-Box games at Walmart are on sale for $25 and under. Don’t have a X-Box? Taget has the 4G X-Box Kinect bundle for $199.99.
Do you know any fashionistas? Anthropologie opens at 6 a.m. Friday, with sales on red line items at 50% off. But after 11 a.m. the discount drops to 25% on red line items. Also opening at 6 a.m. is JCPenny. Outerwear for men and women is featured at $50 and under, sweaters for men and women are featured at $15 and under.
