Black Friday Deals: Stores Opening Early

Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday rule the shopping roost after Thanksgiving.

If you have a black belt in Black Friday shopping, listen up: area big-box retailers are gearing up to dazzle bargain hunters even earlier this year—starting on Thanksgiving Day!

Last week, Walmart announced that it would open its doors at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 22 and offer holiday doorbusters while supplies last. These include deals on TVs, iPads, an electric scooter for $79 and a steam mop for $39.

Not to be outdone, Target and Best Buy in nearby Duarte are also planning all-out holiday shopping assaults.

Target's deals begin at 9 p.m. According to an ad leaked online, the best deals will be for TVs, a Nook, a Nikon camera and an XBOX 360 Kinect bundle. The Target nearest to Monrovia is at 1050 East Huntington Drive in Duarte.

At Best Buy, doors open at midnight. Doorbusters include deals on TVs, phones and Samsung laptop bundles. The nearest Best Buy is at 1470 Mountain Avenue in Duarte.

Walmart will offer its biggest deals from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Thanksgiving night. The store will offer three items at low prices—an iPad, a TV and a Blu-ray player. If the store runs out, you can still buy them at discounted prices but you must register for them online by midnight and have them delivered to your local store. The nearest Walmart is at 1600 Mountain Ave in Duarte.

According to TheBlackFriday.com, several other stores will also have doorbuster sales on Thursday night or at midnight on Friday, including Kohl's. 

For the early morning traditionalists, some stores will open at 4 a.m. with special sales. If you want to keep up with all of the Black Friday deals, you can check your favorite retailers' Facebook pages. 

Want to avoid the holiday shopping mega-crowds altogether? Look for Cyber Monday deals on Nov. 26 or visit your local mom-and-pop retailers on Small Business Saturday on Nov. 24.

OH! the blog won't let links, link-up. Well in 3 minutes you can google, and find all of this.

Joan, let me presume you generally understand how the government works, what it can, and can't do,Read More and what freedom of the press really means. If so, theoretically, would you agree that if my post, is correct, would be very disturbing? Would you also agree that because of political leanings, most of the main stream media ignores, and/or twists the events I described to alter public opinion, and minimize it's impact? All of the statements in my original post are factual, out there in the public, in print, on T.V., and the internet. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/05/irs-official-in-charge-during-tea-party-targeting-now-runs-health-care-office/ http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-01-30/fed-maintains-85-billion-pace-of-purchases-as-growth-pauses.html It is also called qe3 to infinity, If you want a deeper understanding of what lies ahead, then read this guy everyday. He has predicted, and laid out every move for years. http://www.jsmineset.com/2012/09/21/qe3-to-infinitythe-final-end-game/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/ralphbenko/2013/03/11/1-6-billion-rounds-of-ammo-for-homeland-security-its-time-for-a-national-conversation/ I believe the above group of links above is spells it out. Thanks for the challenge. ....

Anyone can post a rant like this...if you can back up your statements with facts, then postRead More legitimate references.

Yep, B Ulm.... I was there all day. People were working really hard from early a.m. to clean upRead More time. I noticed plenty of smiles and laughter, some quick no-nonsense problem solving, and some really rather creative ways to tackle the project at hand. It was smaller scale, there was no carnival (Did the Tilt a Whirl with dried puke REALLY mean that much to you folks?!) Look, the pancakes tasty, kids cute, dunk booth busy. These people did their best, and this is coming from me, an admitted Mr.grumpy pants. Danielle, since you seem keen on helping out per your post, and would volunteer if you knew where to go to do so, please sign up to be the dunkee next year. We'd love to have ya...I might be old but I have one helluva fast ball.

Wow - what an insulting, non-constructive post. You live in a city whose citizens banded together toRead More tax themselves to save it Foothill wilderness, raised funds to renovate its schools and to build a state of the art library. The fact that one one single event in the year didn't go the way you wanted made you ashamed to be a Monrovian suggests you need to seriously rethink your priorities in life. As the first response said, quit complaining and get involved. Its not very hard in this city to find out how to volunteer if you had given it a slight effort. And the volunteer groups like the one that put the event together are starving for help since tearing people down is a lot more popular these days than putting in hard work. You are the one who should be ashamed.

I am gonna do my own thing, invite everyone to have a parade on Monrovia Day next year... RememberRead More the Doo Dah parade? Assemble old folks in black socks and hedge clippers!

Who was that face painter? She was really good with the kids, even the wiggly ones. She also wasRead More giving away little handmaid mermaids. Some of the stuff at the celebration was cool. I think next year the city council should be the dunkees for the dunk booth.

Yeah, it's cute...... For now......
Ellen Zunino May 17, 2013 at 01:02 pm
Cool presentation. Many of us have had our own encounters and all of us have seen numerous photosRead More and videos so your creative approach freshened it up for us.

A California city will never prevail in a lawsuit against the STATE. All CA. cities must merge toRead More sue in mass under Federal RICO laws while we still have Federal laws. Filing alone at the State level is useless. Wake up people.

Ernie, the CBO (Chief Barking Officer) of Wonder Dog Ranch, dog day care and boarding, is woofingRead More with excitement about this happy ending.
