Find Early Black Friday 2010 Sales Ads

**This information is all over the Internet. But I've done the searching for you, and this is not a duplicate.**

Traditionally, the first Black Friday ads to surface in late October are from Ace Hardware, Harbor Freight, Kmart and Sears, and at the time of this writing all but Ace have their ads out (this can change any minute). They announce them to certain websites that list the store specials and sales with links to coupon codes and better prices.

You don’t want to go blindly out to the stores and then see what they have on sale, especially without your coupon codes (codes you enter online and it gives you an even better price, plus the coupon discount, on certain items). You do want to find out what the specials and sales are and where they are before you go. This is true whether you’re shopping online or at the physical store locations, although searching online is so fast and easy, now. It’s just better to have a plan.

Tons of Black Friday Sales

There are a lot of websites out there that claim to be the first ones to have their ads out, but there’s one that lives up to it’s word by including the best. BlackFriday.info is a great first place to look. It’s links all lead to other sites, but they’re sites you want to see, the ones with the first ads out.

One link takes you to BFAds.net. Here one can find a wealth of things to like, such as, a new ad posted almost every day and from more than one store after November 3rd.

There’s an Adscans section that has the current deals available in .zip or .PDF formats ready for download so you can look at them at your leisure offline. Full color catalogs can be seen this way, as is the case with the 2009 Toys R Us Big Book of Toys.

If you click on Black Friday Coupons, you go to Retailmenot.com (a great place!) where the coupons are listed with additional offers besides the coupon codes they give you. Click on “50+ Coupon Codes” by each store name and it takes you to a page that has the 50+ codes and even more offers and free shipping, in many cases.

Online Shopping is Growing

A recent BFAds.net poll reports that 54% of responders said they will shop both online and in stores, 32% will shop strictly online, and 15% said they’ll do all of their shopping in stores, which is not surprising.
