AUGUSTA, Ga. -- In less than two weeks, a predicted 225 million shoppers will wait in line at their favorite stores for Black Friday deals.
This year, shoppers don't have to wait until the day after Thanksgiving to get those sales -- some stores in town are already offering pre-Black Friday discounts.
According to Consumer Reports, Home Depot and Lowes have several appliances on sale right now. This is perfect for the person wanting to update their kitchen before the holidays. The two they recommend are Home Depot's LG French door bottom freezer for sale at $2,000, which is a few hundred bucks lower than its normal sale price. At Lowes, they recommend the Samsung four-door refrigerator discounted at $500.
If you are a Walmart shopper, you can get Black Friday deals beginning on Thanksgiving night. Toys and clothes will go on sale at 10 p.m. and appliances will go on sale at midnight.
Target will also start sales early at midnight.
