Black Friday Fans,
We’ve posted over 120 Black Friday Ads so far this year, plus a bunch of other Pre-BF circulars and miscellaneous ads! Now it is time to determine exactly what the best Black Friday 2012 deals are.

Our top 20 Black Friday deals are as follows:
- $97 32″ Haier LCD TV at Amazon
- $38 LG Blu-ray Player at Walmart* (guaranteed availability)
- $299 (after $100 GC) iPad 2 at Meijer
- $179.99 40″ Toshiba LCD at Best Buy or Amazon.com
- $15 Jeans at Old Navy
- 7″ Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 Tablet $99.99 at Verizon
- $9.99 Kitchen Electrics at Macy’s
- Samsung Galaxy S3 at Sam’s Club is $.96 with 2-yr Sprint contract. Even if you have to buy a membership ($35 for businesses, $40 personal), the phone + membership still comes in under the phone’s lowest price elsewhere – and you get to enjoy the membership for the next year.
- $179 Compaq Presario Laptop at Walmart
- $369.99 Dyson DC40 Animal Ball Bagless Upright Vacuum at Costco
- $149 Xbox 360 4GB SkyLanders Bundle at Walmart
- $499.99 Canon Rebel T3 12.2MP D-SLR Camera w/ 2 Lenses, Case and 8GB SD Card Bundle at hhgregg
- $799.99 Frigidaire 26 cu.ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator with in-door water (ice?) dispenser, available in white, black and stainless steel, at Best Buy
- 35% off all KitchenAid Hand & Stand Mixers at Bon-Ton stores. This means that the 4.5-qt. Red Classic Plus Stand Mixer, advertised elsewhere at $199.99 after mail-in rebate, ends up at $184.50 after rebate at Bon-Ton stores.
- 50% off all football apparel at Bon-Ton stores ($19-$135)
- $17.97 collegiate fleece hoodies at Bon-Ton. They had this exact same deal last year too, and it was just as great then.
- $148 32″ Emerson LCD at Walmart* (guaranteed availability)
- $279 Frigidaire Dishwasher at Lowe’s
- $379.99 ProForm CrossWalk 397 treadmill at Sears

Sears also has a 32″ TV for $97. Doesn’t say if it’s Plasma or LCD, but I’d put that up there with Amazon and Wal Mart’s 32″ TV deals.
And you can get the Galaxy S3 at Amazon for $39 (with contract, 16GB version) so the Sam’s club deal doesn’t bowl me over.
The majority of Sears is out of stock on this tv. The quality is poor also!
With the Galaxy S3 two year contract, is that for a renewed contract or for new customers only? I have my 2 year upgrade available this month and was waiting to get the s3 on black friday……
I just noticed Credo Mobile is offering ALL phones (including Galaxy S3) for free with a 2 year contract http://www.credomobile.com/lp/nov12/AllFreeB.aspx
And they include a $350 contract buyout if you happen to still be under contract with a different carrier. They use Sprint’s network, so they’d have the same coverage as Sprint, including 4G.
(I have nothing to do with Credo. Not even a customer, although this may make me switch)
Thanks!
Be careful with sprint. They are really lagging in 4G roll-out especially to well populated areas. Note: they still charge 4G surcharge even if they are only feeding you their 3G network.
Credo, is a reseller of service. In particular, they resell Sprint’s service. It’s worth taking that into consideration if you’re considering Credo – and it explains why they have the same coverage maps as Sprint.
As an ex-customer of Sprint, I’d also have to second what Carl said. Sprint’s map of coverage and their ACTUAL coverage can be quite different – most notably in rural areas but also in urban ones. I’ve never had such problems with any other company, not even companies no longer in existence. Nor has any other company been nearly as, um, creative in their excuses for the failed match between service map and actual service.
Can’t wait to go shopping! I am cashing in on the Kitchen Aide this year, thanks for the tip!
Does anyone know if the stores offer the same deals online. I haven’t had time to check yet
Hi Lavonda,
It varies from store to store, but for most items from most major retailers the prices online are the same as those found in the store. Good luck!
What about Kmart’s Proscan 32″ for $97???? I believe ProScan is a better brand than Emerson and haier Also Kmart has a ProScan 50″ for $288 and a plasma 42″ RCA for $198
I also thought the Proscan 32″ was a good deal.
Does anyone know where I could get the Xbox 360 250GB bunde with Madden 12?
when does the amazon black friday deals start for the tv?
can someone tell me more about the amazon sales when can you buy them
When do the door buster ads come out
Hey Brad or anyone else,
Do you happen to know what time amazon will start their black friday for the deals you listed here?
If you do, could you also provide if it will be Eastern time or what….
Thanks
I normally suggest assuming Eastern, but Amazon is listing PST for all their daily deals (and they’re based in Seattle).
Thanks!
What about the time?
Do you know what time the 32″ tv from amazon will go on sale? When you click on it, it comes up as $179 right now.
Go to Amazon and click on their Black Fr. deals and scroll electronics, you will find there is NO $79 TV by any make. Brads got a joke thing going and others posting that sears a TV for $79 also.

I received an email from J.C. Penney earlier this week which mentioned $10 jeans among their Black Friday specials ($5 cheaper than Old Navy). Also, the American Family Association has called for a boycott of Old Navy, because of their refusal to call the holiday that their customers are shopping for “Christmas.”
Are your top 20 based on price alone or did you take quality into account? My mom is inerested in the blu ray player (walmart) but wasn’t sure if it was a good one.
It’s supposed to be an LG BP125 (Brad has it incorrectly linked from the ad to a BP220, but Wal Mart says it’s a BP125) It’s probably a discontinued item- I can’t find it on Amazon or any reviews anywhere, but being LG, it’s probably ok http://www.lg.com/za/blu-ray-dvd-players/lg-BP125-blu-ray-player
Hm, looks like it might be an overseas model (UK) as it shows up on Amazon’s UK site. Or at least something similar http://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-BP125-Slim-Blu-ray-Player/dp/B009AP9D54/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top/279-0281982-7468877
They do make it difficult to research. However, although you would have wasted time in lines and crowds, you can always just return it to Wal Mart if you don’t like it.
Does anyone know of a good deal for the Galaxy S3 for AT&T?
Regarding the IPad 2 that is supposed to be $399.99 w/$100 gift card at Meijer, that is not what is in the Black Friday ad that was in the paper today. It only lists the 3rd & 4th generation starting at $449.00 (on the back page). What am I missing here?
Hi Stacey,
We pulled the information from the last page of the Meijer ad leak we received (posted here: http://blackfriday.bradsdeals.com/ads/2012/meijer-black-friday-ad). Since this was a leak, it’s possible that some copy was changed at the last minute. If you have a scanner or can take a picture, we’d love to see what you’ve got. Send to suggestions@bradsdeals.com if you do!
Hey, did anyone see that Sears will have a 50″ Toshiba LED TV for $299.99 listed in the last page of their ad? I guess it will sell at 8:00 PM but I don’t see it mentioned in any lists of deals.
It doesn’t say which brand, just says major name brand
Tania,
That would be a very very good deal but I can not find it anywhere.
Any good deals on Garmins this year?
[...] of the 96¢ Samsung Galaxy S3. We picked this popular phone as one of our Top 20 Black Friday Deals since buying a membership in order to get the phone is still cheaper than the next best price out [...]
@Carl: look Sears ad online, right here on this site. It’s on the last page, 64 I believe.
when do these top 20 items go on sale tonite? I tried a couple on amazon and they dont come up the sale price
How do I purchase the 40″ tv on Amazon (Toshiba) HELP BEEN LOOKING FOR ABOUT AN HR
They were a lightning deal at 6pm est yesterday.
I have contacted Amazon concerning the Haier L32D1120 32-Inch 720p 60Hz LCD HDTV on your site. They say that you are advertising something that is incorrect. Would you please help so I can purchase this tv at this price? Am really frustrated after being on the phone with a rep from Amazon for over 30 minutes.
These guys really lost all credibility by advertising this amazon thing wrong. Everything is getting sketchier as the minutes go by and nobody gives a dam about letting us know what they got wrong.
Hey re: the amazon deal. You need to be checking the lightning deals. Right now they have one that goes I’ve at 530pm on Friday. Doesn’t say the brand yet but it I’d HDTV,720, for97$
It’s actually 5:02pm pst today, Friday November 23rd. It’s listed on lightning deals. Best way to get it is to have the lightning deal page up that has the timer for the item. When the timer is up, it automatically switches to “add cart” – you don’t have to refresh. Don’t go to the items page because it is slower to refresh
I learned that the hard way lol.
Looks like all of the Amazon.com black friday deals posted are bogus. Yet another BradsDeals that aren’t valid.
All of the black Friday deals for Amazon were posted correctly here. Amazon even posted them on their Facebook page and sent emails if you were subscribed to “lightning deal” emails. These deals were ONLY lightning deals and they sold out instantly. I wasn’t quick enough for the two 32″ tvs or but I did get the 23″ for $81 total (tax & free shipping).
