While other retailers are hoping to lure in big crowds on Black Friday, Sam’s Club is, in some ways, encouraging people to stay home.
The retailer has released its ad flier for the day after Thanksgiving. And while it’s loaded with bargains, as so many other retailers’ ads are, some of the best deals can only be found online.
It’s a strategy that might seem odd at first, but one that caters to the growing number of people who want to get their hands on some of the day’s best deals, but would rather avoid fighting crowds and hunting for a decent parking space.
Sam’s Club corporate cousin Walmart, meanwhile, is looking to pack stores, offering free cookies with the deals.
Here’s a look at the best deals, both online only and those that can be found either online or in stores.
