Leaked "Black Friday" ads

Every year, retailers seem to pull out all the stops on "Black Friday"--the day after Thanksgiving--in an effort to get customers into their stores and kick off the holiday shopping season.

"Black Friday" sales can sometimes cause a run on stores--with specials that seem too good to miss.  But those sales are usually a closely-kept secret, at least until circular ads appear in newspapers on Thanksgiving Day.

Good deals, though, have a way of leaking. And the deals are finding their way onto the internet.  Are they legitimate?  We're not sure...but we're passing them on.  To view them, click on the highlighted links.
