Here's What 7 Big Retailers Have Planned for Black Friday

In many ways, Black Friday has become a term for the holiday shopping season, rather than just the Friday after Thanksgiving. Many major retailers have already kicked off their holiday sales, not even waiting until we've polished off our turkey and mashed potatoes.

Here's a look at the "Black Friday" promotions a number of big retailers are running, along with when they start. It can be tough for a shopper to keep them all straight, but some of these sales give you more time to shop and the chance to avoid the bargain-thirsty crowds on Black Friday itself.
