After weeks of teasing, the real Black Friday deals have arrived. Start your planning now.
This story is part of Holiday Gift Guide 2021 , our list of ideas, by topic, by recipient and by price, to help you discover the perfect gift.
Black Friday can feel more like a season than a weekend these days, as retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy and others kick off “Black Friday” sales as early as October. But how do you know when the “real” sales actually start? Thankfully, retailers are now “leaking” their own full slate of price cuts via newspaper circulars, which are available online days before. We now know, for instance, that Target’s deals will start Nov. 21 and Walmart’s will start Nov. 22.
Want to see all the details? We’ve collected links to the online circulars here, so you can peruse them at your leisure. In the meantime, we’re compiling and curating our favorite deals available now and coming soon. Whether you’re planning on shopping at Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Macy’s, Kohl’s, Costco, Lowes or elsewhere, this is your best starting point.
The latest additions here are Walmart (updated), Target (updated), Office Depot, Staples, PetSmart and Lowe’s. We’ll add more as we find them.
