JCPenney just leaked their 72-page, Black Friday ad and it’s filled with the usual doorbuster deals, plus some excellent JCPenney coupons ($20 off a $100 purchase or $10 off a $50 purchase!). As is the trend this year, the sale starts at 11 p.m. on Thanksgiving (leading to the moniker “Black Midnight”) so you better hope all that turkey tryptophan doesn’t send you too deeply into the Land of Nod.
Granted some stores began pushing their Black Friday deals back in July, but most are just beginning to clue us into the amazing offers. We’ve compiled already-announced deals from major merchants and, to make it easier, rounded up all 99-cent prices by a penny.
Merry Christmas. (Oops! Too soon?)
Bass Pro Shops
The Bass Pro Shops deals are good for just five hours, from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. Friday, but they've got some pretty good sales.
Bealls
Doors open midnight Friday with over 300 Bell Ringers available through 1 p.m. The first 100 customers in each store receive a scratch-off card towards winning an iPad 2, $250 gift card or $5 Bealls Bucks. Look for the “40% off clearance prices Bealls coupon on the last page of their flier. You’ll also find a coupon worth $10 off a purchase of $50 or more or $15 off a purchase of $75 or more.
Following in JCPenney’s tradition of offering a free gift, Bealls is giving away a free ornament, while supplies last. Here are the highlights:

First, make sure you locate their flier before buying as there are two great coupons on the front page. Here are a few of their doorbuster specials.

Sam's Club
You have to be a membe to cash in on these deals, naturally. Doors open at 5 a.m. Friday.

Staples
The office supply chain offers a sneak peek at their best Black Friday Deal at Staples.com, and some of them look pretty hot. You have to move fast, however, as most Staples stores have a very limited number on offer.

Target is apparently into recycling. A lot of their Black Friday sales bear an uncanny resemblance to those featured in late October. But a deal's a deal, so here's what we've heard.
