Black Friday Tips:

Walmart has door buster deals starting Thanksgiving at 6pm

Lowe’s is offering poinsettias so $.099 and pre lit artificial trees for over 50%off

 

Expect App-Exclusive Deals

With so many shoppers turning to online stores, physical locations are working to bring more people through the doors. For many retailers, this means pushing their own apps. Last year Target took an extra 15% off in-store and offered presale deals through its (now defunct) Cartwheel app. Look for stores to offer similar perks this year.

Similarly, Amazon has been providing more benefits to shoppers who own Alexa devices. Recently, it's offered extra savings to those who place orders via an eligible Alexa product. And since the retailer announced five new Echo devices in September, it's a safe bet these deals will be another popular mode of savings on Black Friday.
