Black Friday isn’t as much of a thing as it used to be. Almost every item worth buying is available online the day after Thanksgiving, with even more discounts following on Cyber Monday. Hell, Amazon’s “Black Friday” deals have been available online all month, really. The day of discounts is dying, quickly.
But! Black Friday isn’t dead yet! There remain a handful of holdouts, the big-box stores that live for the midnight (or earlier) Thanksgiving Day lines and hire extra security for the ensuing 24 hours of chaos. Within their hallowed walls, there are still deals that are worth putting on some pants, standing in the cold, and fighting the crowds for. These are the best in-store-only deals, along with a few particularly tempting price cuts that are also available online. If you’re hell-bent on an IRL thrill of the hunt, you’re going to want to chase down these discounts in the flesh.
