Black Friday Deals Start on Thanksgiving Day this Year

Thanksgiving Thursday is the new Black Friday. Here are some stores in and near Johnston that are planning to lure shoppers early.

Black Friday, also known to shopping junkies as the best holiday between Election Day and Christmas, is coming our way and sooner than ever: Black Friday deals begin on Thanksgiving Thursday.

First Walmart announced they would open a 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Shortly after Target announced they would be opening at 9 p.m. Thanksgiving Day.

That means you can celebrate the meaningful bonds you and your loved ones have forged, then immediately trample over strangers to get an amazing deal on a 44-inch LCD TV.

But Walmart and Target won't be the only store celebrating the high holiday early; Sears and Kmart will start their deals at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving day as well.

Best Buy will be holding its sale that night at 12 a.m., in the first minutes of Black Friday.

Don't forget about all of our local stores such as B Posh Boutique, The Funky Zebras, Accents and Interiors and more.

Personally, I'll be sleeping off the turkey I'll have gorged on.

Be sure to check out cyber Monday as well.

Happy hunting.
