Black Friday doorbuster sales make early appearances via Twitter, Facebook.


If your washer and dryer are on the fritz, consider doing laundry at your neighbor's house for the next two weeks. A quick trip to Sears now could get you two newKenmore units for $435 apiece--or you could wait a fortnight and buy them for $199 each.
This is just one example of the unbelievable deals big retailers will be offering to consumers the day after Thanksgiving, or "Black Friday," as it's come to be known. The term "black" does not carry some sinister connotation, but instead reflects the fact that big sales on this top shopping day can tip retailers into the black for the entire year.
Some of the best deals, including the aforementioned washer and dryer, are already starting to trickle out. Sears, Staples, Lowe's and Macy's are among the stores that have announced some of their deals early.
"We leaked our ad so that our customers would have time to prepare for their Black Friday shopping strategy," explains Colleen Carbott, a spokeswoman for hardware giant Lowe's. LINK
