A few other helpful tips for making your game plan:
Every store is pushing how their Black Friday deals will be available to purchase online too and most of those deals will be available on Wednesday night, so shoppers no longer have to wait until Thanksgiving.
While a lot of retailers are trying to move "Black Friday" to earlier in the week, Best Buy is trying to extend Black Friday even further this year by releasing new doorbuster deals on Black Friday and the Saturday after Black Friday.
Most major retailers will open their stores at 5pm on Thanksgiving day but the earliest store opening time goes to JCPenney this year. They will be opening stores at 2pm on Thanksgiving.
Staples is avoiding the Thanksgiving Day shopping rush and closing their stores that day. However, they will be open on Black Friday and all of the Staples deals will be available to purchase online on Thanksgiving.
