Black Friday sales aren’t limited to the day after Thanksgiving.
Nowadays you’ll see stores advertising Black Friday deals before Halloween’s jack-o-lanterns have gone bad. Like Christmas in July, some retailers — such as Lowe’s and Home Depot — even hold Black Friday sales in the spring.
The whole craze of lining up at midnight for stores to open the Friday after Thanksgiving ended once retailers decided to simply stay open Thanksgiving day. While shopping on the holiday gives you one more opportunity to catch a good sale, it also gives you a greater chance to buy things you really don’t need. Or you end up overspending all for the sake of buying a bunch of stuff on discount.
Some businesses, however, buck the trend and stay closed for Thanksgiving. We’ve combined lists from RetailMeNot, BestBlackFriday.com and TheBlackFriday.com of stores confirmed to be closed on Thanksgiving day.
If you’re trying to save a little dough this holiday season by abstaining from some of the retail craze, these 70 stores are on your side
