Where to see the sales flyers weeks in advance, which apps to use, and more tips, for Black Friday Shopping.
Black Friday Sale Ads
There are a variety of websites and apps that allow you to browse the Black Friday sales weeks in advance. Most of the sites have a search feature, allowing you to search for a specific item and compare the sales all stores are running on that item.
Black Friday Apps
Be sure to download the apps for your favorite stores ahead of time, make sure you are logged in, and that any loyalty cards are added.
More Apps For Shopping Coupons & Fliers:
- Ibotta - Earn Cash Back On Purchases by linking your loyalty cards and scanning receipts. Simple to use, this is the most popular shopping rewards app among my friends.
- The Coupons App - An app of coupons. Add your favorite stores, and especially fast food restaurants, and it shows the cheapest gas prices in your area too. This app has a great amount of information, but it's a bit of a pain to set up and customize, and it has pop up ads, unless you are willing to pay 99 cents a month to subscribe.
- Shopular is similar to the Coupons App above, but without the pop up ads, and it is easier to set up your favorite stores. However, it lacks the gas price option, and the format the coupons are shown in is a bit more cluttered - it seems to be geared more towards online shopping, with bonuses for visiting websites and making purchases through the app.
