Target Black Friday Deals: 11/26-11/27/10

Posted: 23 Nov 2010 06:00 AM PST

While I prefer to work from press releases and email alerts rather than “leaked” internet ads, I’m breaking my own rules a little and sharing some info that I found about Target’s Black Friday sales. Please note that prices could vary from this ad since it isn’t necessarily “official”. If you want to take a look yourself, check it out here.

When I was at Target last week, my cashier was lamenting the fact that she has to be at work at 3AM on Friday…and that doors open at 4AM. If you are unwilling to brave the stores that early (as I am), you can check out Black Friday sales at Target.com from the comfort of your own home. :-)

I’m not seeing many coupon match ups, but here are some of my favorite deals. Quantities are limited on Doorbuster deals so get there early if you want to snag those!
