At the end of last week, we shared with you that Sears Holdings had announced the Black Friday hours for both Sears and Kmart. Today we got a copy of Kmart’s Thanksgiving Sale Ad and the sales are almost as complicated as Kmart’s hours.
The total ad from Kmart comes in at 24 pages. 11 of those pages are Thanksgiving doorbuster sales that take place from 6am-4pm on Thursday ONLY. The next 13 pages are sales that are good all three days, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
We suspect that Kmart may still release another ad before too long. This current ad is promoting their Thanksgiving Sale and doesn’t specifically mention Black Friday. Since Kmart’s doing multiple sales, they may have additional discounts just for Black Friday. Sign up for our Black Friday Alerts and we’ll let you know as soon as we hear more.
Highlights from the Thanksgiving sale include: (more…)

So on October 28th we posted a leaked Ace Hardware Black Friday ad, then on October 31st, we were asked to remove the leaked ad. In a fairly nicely worded letter, Ace let us know that what we were circulating was a proof and that they had not finalized their Black Friday sales yet. Ace told us that the official ad would be out early in November and now here on November 2nd, it’s out! Take a look at Ace Hardware’s Official ad. The good part about stores asking us to remove leaked ads is that when the real ads are ready, they send them to us first. 
We did a little sleuthing to see if there are any changes in the sales from the leaked ad to the official ad.

Today we got a copy of the Music & Arts Black Friday ad. This is our first time seeing a specific Black Friday ad from this store so we’re excited to add them to our Black Friday family.
The 4-page Music & Arts Black Friday Ad features four coupons and 23 unique sale items. The Music & Arts Black Friday sale is a 3-day sale, starting in-stores at 8:00 a.m. on Friday and ending Sunday. 
The front page of the ad is a little vague in that they say you can find the deals online starting on Thanksgiving, but then above that in big letters it says “In-Store Only” and also says this at the bottom of the last page. We’re guessing that they want you to go online Thursday and pick out what you plan on getting over the weekend. It’s possible that they’ll be offering more deals than are in the ad, we’ll have to wait until Thanksgiving to find out.
If you don’t have time to look through the deals online or in the ad, make sure you print out the first page for the great coupons: (more…)

Today we got our hands on the ad for Bath & Body Works’ famous Black Friday VIP Bag. While BBW does some great sales on Black Friday, the VIP Bag is their big crowd-pleaser both in stores and online. The ad doesn’t give pricing information but for the last 4 years the VIP Bag has been $20 with a $40 purchase. In the past each bag counted towards your purchase of another bag. So you can spend $40 on candles and buy a bag for $20. Now you’re at $60. Just spend $20 more on hand soaps and you qualify for VIP Bag #2.
Black Friday is also historically one of only two days that Bath & Body Works officially allows coupon stacking (The other being Super Saturday, the last Saturday before Christmas). This means start saving your $10 off $30 survey coupons now. Remember that even though they allow stacking, you still need to meet the qualifications for each coupon.
We suggest figuring out how many VIP Bags you intend to buy and how many coupons you plan on using and mapping out your game plan before you go in the store. Historically the big promotions at Bath & Body Works on Black Friday are 2 for $20 3-wick candles, Buy 3 Get 3 on Signature Collection Body Care items, and other smaller sales like $5 hand cream or Buy 2 Get 1 on Aromatherapy and True Blue Spa items. While Bath & Body Works doesn’t announce their sales sometimes until the morning of Black Friday, these promotions are a pretty sure bet.
Here is a list of what’s included in the Bath & Body Works Black Friday 2012 VIP Bag. BBW advertises it as $100 value with 7 products.
- Full-sized Lotion and Shower Gel in new Cashmere Glow ($11 value each) (more…)

Last year’s Victoria’s Secret Black Friday bag. This year’s should be similar.
Today we learned that OakBrook Center, a large shopping mall just west of Chicago, IL posted a Victoria’s Secret Black Friday deal on their website. OakBrook Center says that their Victoria’s Secret location will be opening at 7:00 am on Black Friday offering a Pink Sequined Tote filled with beauty products with a $65 purchase while supplies last. No details as to restrictions on how many per customer. Bring a friend with you just in case you need to split your order into multiple purchases to beat the system!
This may be a rumor, but based on Victoria’s Secret Black Friday deals in previous years, we think it’s a good one.
OakBrook Center mentions that Victoria’s Secret will be having Black Friday specials on yoga pants or will have $25 pullover hoodies. Right now this is purely a Black Friday rumor as OakBrook doesn’t list a source and we can’t find anything mention in other locations. In the past Victoria’s Secret has not done localized promotions, especially on Black Friday. We feel that it’s safe to assume if they’re doing the Tote promotion and the yoga pants and hoodie sales in this Chicago suburb, they’re doing them around the country.

Black Friday is slowly but surely approaching, and even though the biggest shopping day of the year is still seven weeks away, shoppers are already planning their Black Friday shopping strategies. However, you can’t possibly plan a shopping strategy until the Black Friday ads are released. 
When will retailers release their Black Friday 2012 ads? That is the big question. The anticipation is building. So, we decided to make some of our own predictions of when big retailers might release, based on previous Black Friday ads releases from 2010 and 2011.
From research and observation of recent years, we suspect smaller retailers, like mall stores or hardware stores, may be the first to come out with their Black Friday ads. For bigger retailers like Toys R Us, Best Buy, Target and Walmart, we’ve made a list of dates of when their Black Friday ads came out within the last two years and what we predict will be this year’s release date. We’ll be posting them as soon as they arrive, whether earlier or later than predicted.
P.S. Sprint’s Black Friday ad is already live!

When Brandon Vanderstelt and his wife set up camp 10 days ahead of Black Friday outside of a North Texas Best Buy with a tongue-in-cheek “Occupy Best Buy” sign decorating their tent, their intent was to be first in line for Best Buy’s Black Friday deals.
“It’s an $800 TV for $200, so we figured people would be out here really early, and that’s a deal we didn’t want to pass up,” he said. ”We get about 100 questions a day and about 100 pictures,” Vanderstelt said. “Everybody talks to us. It’s fun.”
However, not everyone shares the Vanderstelts’ lighthearted view of Black Friday as news surfaced this week indicating that the Occupy Wall Street movement may take their protest to America’s malls on Black Friday to protest corporate greed.
While Adbusters’ “Buy Nothing Day” has been around for twenty years now, the momentum of the Occupy movement combined with growing frustration over the surge of midnight openings and mediocre deals may be enough to form an entirely new form of Black Friday mob. The idea is certainly gaining momentum, as evidenced by the establishment of websites such as StopBlackFriday.com, whose stated goal is to “Hit the 1% where it hurts – in the wallet.” Adbusters is largely credited with sparking the Occupy Wall Street movement.

ULTA’s Black Friday ad was released today. The 2-page ad (presented here as a single page) is presented as a two day sale and notes that all stores will be open “by 6am”, which implies that individual locations may open their doors sooner, so be sure to call ahead to confirm if you plan to show up early. 
Much of the ad is devoted to free gifts from brands like Calvin Klein, Ed Hardy and Elizabeth Arden. We count six different free gift options, plus a 5 for $5 mix and match on a range of small items normally priced under $7 such as lotions and single-use facial treatments, and a buy 2 get 2 free mix and match on an equally wide range of bath and cosmetics items normally priced between $3 and $9.50.
Some highlights from the ULTA Black Friday Ad include:
- ULTA Artist Blockbuster Palette for $16.99
- Free 1 oz. “hope in a jar” with any $50 philosophy purchase
- Ultra CHI Red 1″ Flat Iron or Dryer for $74.96 with coupon
