In the old days – four or five years ago – you know Good Friday Black Friday was coming when you started seeing ad leaks. Scanned PDFs or JPEGs of advertisements of major retailers describing black retail deals, mostly grains. Aiming for the Sunday newspaper just before Thanksgiving week, these will most likely mark the season’s biggest “Door Buster” sale, which will feature everything from TV 99 TVs to $ 199 gaming console bundles.
Cut to 2020, and the landscape looks a little different. Retailers are now “leaking” circulars on their own tables and on their own websites to help them beat the hype drums of their holiday sales. We collect PDFs and links to as many of those sales as possible because we want you to get the best deals of the season. We have included links to the respective online stores and CNET stories highlighting our favorite deals.
