Welcome to Black Friday 2014! This is where we will list all the top Black Friday deals, ads, and sales for 2014. We update this list frequently – so check back often. You will want to bookmark it to make it easy to find (Ctrl + D on a PC or command +D on a mac).
When is Black Friday this year? Friday, November, 28, 2014.
So far we have info on 24 stores, from ads to opening hours. We expect to get dozens of more stores listed in coming weeks, as last year we listed 78 Black Friday store deals.
Thanks to BFAds.net for this awesome information.
Ace Hardware
We just posted the 106-item Ace Hardware Black Friday sale listing along with the 8-page Ace Hardware Black Friday ad scan! All items are limited to what your local store has in-stock.
Look for a Friday-only discount of 50% Off one regular-priced item under $30. The other coupon is valid for both Saturday and Sunday offering $10 off your regular-priced merchandise, meaning you won’t be able to use it on anything featured in the ad.
Red Hot Buys include:
Craftsman Adjustable Mechanic’s Stool – $19.99 was $34.99
6-ft. Fold-in-Half Table – $29.99 was $59.99
Plastic Folding Chair – $11.99 was $18.99
Dewalt 18-Volt Cordless Impact Driver – $89.99 was $149.99
Dewalt 20-pc. Rapid Load Bit Set – $9.99 was $17.99
Amaryllis Bulb Kit – $4.99 was $9.99
A.C. Moore
We have the 209-item A.C. Moore Black Friday sale listing along with the 8-page A.C. Moore Black Friday ad scan. The sale lasts two days, Black Friday and Saturday. Check your local store for exact hours. A “Doorbuster Coupon” takes 40% off your entire regular-price order, provided it is rung up and paid before between 5AM and noon. If you don’t make it in during those hours, there is still a nice 60% off any one regular price item coupon that is available between noon and 10PM. Saturday has its own versions of the coupons: “30% off your entire order” and “55% off one regular price item.” All 4 coupons specify regular price, so you’ll have to do some math when putting together your Black Friday Battle Plan to confirm that the coupons make sense for you.
Look for an impressive selection of inexpensive “Frozen” items, including t-shirts, dolls, plushes, and a 450-count sticker book.
Amazon
Amazon has announced a November 1st start date for more than 15,000 Lightning Deals on discounts on Disney Princess toys, tools, cookware sets and more. The best deals available will be listed on Amazon’s “Black Friday Deals” page. Amazon Prime Members will have early access to some of these lightning deals. Expect TWO Deals of the Day, every day, through December 22!
Belk
We just posted the Belk Black Friday advertisement listing along with its 72-page Black Friday advertisement scan. Belk’s Black Friday sale starts at 6PM Thanksgiving Day, 2 hours earlier than last year, keeping in line with Best Buy, Walmart, and Macy’s. The sale extends to 1PM on Friday.
It features a lot of coupons and buy one get two free deals as well as a 250 person gift card giveaway at every store with prizes ranging from $5 – $1,000 with a guaranteed $1,000 gift card at every store!
BJ’s
We just posted the 12-item BJ’s Toy List sale listing along with the 2-page BJ’s Toy List ad scan!
BJ’s has released their list of Top 10 Toys for the 2014 holiday season. As has proven to be the trend this year, they heavily featured Disney products – 3/10, to be exact. Although they make no mention of the popular Snow Glow Elsa Doll, BJ’s still showed Disney’s Frozen some love by showcasing Sing and Swing Olaf. They also listed an assortment of Disney Plush Characters and two different styles of a Doc McStuffins Check-Up Playset. This follows in the footsteps of the other toybooks we’ve released – Target, Walmart, and Toys R Us have all made mention of Frozen and Doc McStuffins merchandise.
Another interesting trend we have noticed is the rising popularity of childrens’ hands-on arts-and-crafts kits. BJ’s features their exclusive Squishy Sand, whereas Toys R Us and Walmart listed items such as make-your-own chandelier and DIY phone case kits.
Dell
Check out the 30-item Dell Home & Home Office Black Friday sale listing along with the 6-page Dell Home & Home Office Black Friday ad scan. Starting at 5:59PM CST on Thanksgiving Day, Dell will be offering doorbusters in limited quantities with staggered start times through Friday. Select doorbusters are guaranteed to be in stock from Friday at 7AM CST to 9PM CST. Dell is also offering extended holiday returns, with free return shipping on most purchases made through December 25th.
Certain items, such as the Venue 7″ Android tablet and the Inspiron 15″ laptop, are marked as online exclusives. Others do not appear to be limited to the online store, so plan accordingly.
Dollar Tree
We just posted the Dollar Tree Holiday Catalog sale listing along with the 48-page Dollar Tree Holiday Catalog ad scan. The Dollar Tree Holiday Catalog is eleven days earlier than last year but in the same fashion with sale pricing valid now to December 24. This year’s sale includes even more items with minimum requirements but many selections are under $20 or much lower like the 5 six-foot extension cords for $5.
Some of the best deals we noticed requiring a minimum purchase amount were:
12-pack of Brand-Name Olive-Stem Glassware in three styles for $12
Cobblestone Corners Christmas Village 61-Piece Collection for $36
12 to 24 packs of shampoo and body washes for $1 a bottle
Express
Look for major discounts on large orders throughout November and December. You can view the entire Express 2014 Holiday Savings Passbook on their website. Sign up for a free ExpressNext rewards membership to earn points and exclusive offers. From November 12th to December 10th, shoppers can take as much as $100 off a purchase of $250, either online or in-store. November 21st through November 24th, Express offers $150 off a purchase of $300 or more. Express Next credit card holders will be able to take an extra 10% off on November 25th and 26th. A 30% off discount (40% for credit card holders) will be offered from December 2 to December 10.
Half Price Books
We just posted the 3-item Half Price Books sale listing along with the 1-page Half Price Books ad scan. The first 100 shoppers on Black Friday also get a $5 gift card and free tote, as in the past. This year’s one-day only $5 off $25 or$15 off $50+ coupon is not as strong as last year’s, which was 40% off any single item as well as $15 off $50+.
Hallmark
We just posted the 92-item Hallmark Holiday Catalog sale listing along with the 31-page Hallmark Holiday Catalog ad scan. Hallmark is a new face in the Black Friday Holiday Book realm with deals on holiday hosting supplies, gift wrap and decorations. The bulk of the sale runs November 7th to November 16th and includes this year’s keepsake ornaments. The Open House features many Holiday Favorites including Elf on a Shelf, Rudolph, and Peanuts. The catalog is heavy on holiday warmth and happy memories, but a little light on the deals.
We were able to find a couple of the better deals like 30% off Hallmark personalized cards with coupon code JOY30 and Buy One, Get One for $1.00 wrapping paper.
As an added bonus, if you spend over $75 you get a free candle lantern at a quoted $24.95 value. Other deals include a $14.95 bell door hanger with any purchase and a Christmas Card Display for $14.95 with the purchase of 3 Hallmark cards.
Harbor Freight
The 41-item Harbor Freight Black Friday sale listing and 4-page Harbor Freight advertisement scans look similar to the ones we’ve seen for the past 2 years.
Chicago Electric 90-Amp AC 120-Volt Flux Cored Welder is $5 less
Chicago Electric Variable Speed Oscillating Multifunction Power Tool is $2 less than last year
Thunderbolt 45-Watt Magnum Solar Panel Kit have been marked up
Harbor Freight is opening at 7AM but allowing Inside Track members to enter an hour early (at 6AM).
Kmart
We just posted the 413-item Kmart Toy Book sale listing along with the 48-page Kmart Toy Book ad scan, and they are offering some impressive exclusives for Shop Your Way members. Their second page features a “Fab 15” selection of toys – and SYW members will receive a free 6-month upgrade to Shop Your Way Max (free 2-day shipping). Six bonus members who purchase online or in store are entered into their sweepstakes to win all 15 of the toys!
Holiday hours for Kmart stores will begin at 6AM Thanksgiving, the earliest opening yet. They will remain open until close of business on Friday, November 28 – giving shoppers a full 42 hours to get those gift lists crossed off.
Macy’s
They are opening their doors at 6PM on Thursday November 27.
National Geographic
We just posted the 330-item National Geographic 2014 Holiday Catalog sale listing along with the 72-page National Geographic 2014 Holiday Catalog ad scan. The National Geographic Society has been focused on history, natural sciences, conservation and of course geography since 1988. Every purchase from this year’s catalog helps the Society’s efforts in exploration, education, research, and conservation. Inside the catalog you will find gifts inspired by world cultures, including hand crafted items, travel accessories, clothing items, and jewelry.
Interesting deals:
8-Disc Best of National Geographic Channel DVD Collection for $20 when you spend $100+
Geno 2.0 DNA test which promises to be the “Richest ancestry information available” for $199.95.
Radio Shack
We just posted the 128-item RadioShack Black Friday sale listing. Store hours vary by location – call to check. They plan to release competitively priced items closer to November 28th. We noticed that RadioShack listed their 2200mAh Lipstick Portable Power Banks in assorted colors on sale for $9.99, which is 50% off. The dealer cost for these is $6.83, so the retail markup on these is minimal. They’ll be available in red, blue, black, or silver.
Probably the most notable concrete price we have so far is for the $4.99 Sandisk Cruzer 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drives. They are usually $29.99, and you can choose from blue, green, red, or black. If you’re looking for some extra flash drives to have on hand, these will be available for cheap and are warrantied for 2 years.
Sam’s Club
We just posted the 103-item Sam’s Club Holiday Savings Celebration listing, as well as the 11-page Sam’s Club Holiday Savings Celebration ad scan! Closed on Thanksgiving.
If you did not take advantage of it earlier, Living Social still has a deal for a 1-year Sam’s Club Plus Membership, a $20 gift card, and 4 free merchandise vouchers for the price of $45 through November 4th. The above deal would of course enable you to take further advantage of the deals in this ad, which start at 7AM on November 15th.
The ad promises that, excluding clearance items, these will be the best Sam’s Club prices from November 15th, 2014 to December 31st, 2014. However, it does caution that the quantities are limited, and there will be no rain checks. The nice thing about this ad is that they tell you how many items per store they expect to have, and whether or not the items will be available online.
Some of the better deals include:
iPhone 6 – $99.00
Apple iPad Air Tablets – $100 Off
Vizio 60″ Ultra HD 4k HDTV – $998.00
HP Envy 15.6″ Touch Notebook – $399.00
Sears
Here is the 853-item Sears Black Friday ad sale listing along with the 64-page Sears Black Friday ad scan. Sears will be open at 6PM on Thanksgiving and will remain open until closing time on Friday night. Some of the great deals that caught our eye:

One deal that stands out is the 60% off select mattresses and free boxspring, plus up to $100 back in Shop Your Way Reward points. Also worth mentioning are the free gifts that come with purchase of a mattress set – you can choose from a free 32″ TV, a cookware set, or a $200 Sears Award Card. Additionally, Sears is offering an extra 10% off already marked down sofas.
Stage Black (same deals and hours for Bealls, Goody’s, Palais Royals and Peebles)
We have just posted the Stage Stores Black Friday sale listing along with the 48-page Stage Stores Black Friday ad scan! Sale starts 4:00 PM Thanksgiving night, which is two hours earlier than last year. They will then stay open for nine hours until 1:00 AM, two hours longer than last year. They’ll then reopen again at 6:00 AM on Black Friday.
First fifty in line will receive a gift card for $10 to $100. As an added bonus they will also be offering a $10 voucher with $50+ spent from November 27th to December 2nd. The voucher can be redeemed from December 26th – January 31st. One lucky person per store will also receive Stage’s employee discount for a full year!
Some stand outs we noticed:
The lowest price on a 32″ 720p HDTV we’ve seen this season yet at $99.99
Bella 12-cup programmable coffee maker for $5 less than the recent Best Buy deal of $15.00 but it requires a mail-in rebate. The mail-in rebate also works for other Bella small appliances like a 5-qt. slow cooker, waffle maker and griddle making them $9.99 after all is said and done.
Two coupons that are good for an “extra 25% off a single item” which unfortunately excludes doorbusters and other items.
Stein Mart
Get scratch-off tickets worth either $10, $20, $50 or $100 off during their Black Friday sale – which starts at 5PM Thanksgiving Day.
Target
Target has announced that from now until December 20th, they’ll be offering free shipping with any online order. ***The offer extends to clearance items and requires no minimum purchase.***
They are also extending their price adjustment window from November 1st to December 24th. Note that they will not price match competitor’s Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals.
Target is offering 50% off a different toy every day via their free Cartwheel coupon app! This promotion started on November 1st and will run until Christmas Eve. If you received the Target Toy Catalog in the mail, you can stack a Cartwheel offer with the 25% off a toy department item coupon. You can use your Target REDcard for even more savings. Get a coupon for 10% off by downloading Target’s Wish List app. The coupon will apply to all of the qualifying items in the transaction, but it can only be used once, so make it count!
Toys R us
We just posted the Toys R Us Toy Book sale listing along with the 80-page Toys R Us Toy Book ad scan. These prices go live on November 2nd and will end on November 22nd – right before Black Friday!
There were a few items listed that especially caught our eye:
For gamers, Toys R Us is offering $20.00 off a 12-Month Xbox Live Membership as well as $10.00 off an extra controller when you purchase an Xbox One System
New exclusive Skylanders Trap Team Micro Comic Fun Packs. The Deja Vu version will be released on November 2nd, with Blades following on November 9th and finally Jawbreaker on November 16th.
Walmart
We just posted the Walmart Toy Catalog sale listing along with the 32-page Walmart Toy Catalog ad scan. Walmart’s Toy Book sale starts this Sunday, November 9 with prices valid until Wednesday, December 24.
Yankee Candle
We just posted the 7-item Yankee Candle sale listing along with the 3-page Yankee Candle Books ad scan. Check your local store for hours. Early shoppers receive a Fragrance Lovers Tote (worth $100) for $25 when they make any purchase. They are also offering a special Saturday deal of Pure Radiance Medium Vase Candle for $10.00. This ad isn’t particularly exciting, and isn’t even offering the best Yankee Candle deals.
