Walmart Best Buy & Sears Kick Off Black Friday Deals This Week

Black Friday shopping deals are starting early this year. In some cases the discounts will be offered one week before the doors open for crowds of shoppers. Walmart plans to offer deals on some toys and electronics starting this Friday. Sears and Kmart also are also advertising special discounts one week early for its rewards customers. Walmart, Best Buy and Target are among the retailers that will have deep discounts on TV sets. “A lot of retailers are going to be offering special door busters that try and encourage people to get in-store as opposed to only shopping only online,” says Lindsay Sakraida of DealNews.com “They really want to encourage you to be in-store and maybe start picking up things that you otherwise wouldn’t have bought online.” But Sakraida says many other items in the stores on Black Friday will not be deeply discounted. “You need to be very savvy and keep your head about you when shopping on Black Friday,” Sakraida said.
