Stuffed from their turkey feast, families would gather around sales ads and hone their shopping strategies for the next day.
But, more and more, savvy shoppers are putting together their Black Friday itinerary before they tackle their holiday menu. In fact, it’s getting harder to squeeze in the meal.
With more stores opening on Thanksgiving Day or starting earlier on Black Friday, families might be tempted to spend more time shopping or standing in line than basting the bird.
Shoppers who want to get a head start on their Black Friday planning are aided by plethora of retailer websites posting deals earlier than ever. Several — Macy’s, Sears, Target and Kohl’s — have leaked out.
Other retailers, such as Walmart and Home Depot, guard their deals under threat of legal action.
This year, Walker-based Meijer is giving a sneak peek of its Black Friday ads at connect.Meijer.com and through e-mail alerts, Facebook and Twitter.
“We are going to be more aggressive in terms of the quantity of some doorbuster items,” said Meijer spokesman Frank Guglielmi. “There is still going to be limits, but we’ll have more items than in years past.”
