Most of you who are into Black Friday shopping will have already been out the door for an hour or two by the time you see this. However, for those of you who plan to enjoy the morning as it comes before venturing out into the madness, here is some Black Friday content you might find helpful.

From The Oklahoman (behind a paywall), here’s content about the best Black Friday deals in Oklahoma (and online). Some of the stores featured include:

• Target
• Walmart
• Wayfair
• Lowe’s
• Ace Hardware
• Samsung
• Nordstrom
• Anthropologie

Here are a few more I thought of:
• Walmart
• Best Buy
• Bass Pro Shops

KOCO has a list of mall hours across Oklahoma.

The site ‘AllEvents.in’ has a nice list of some hyperlocal Black Friday opportunities.

And then there is the site BlackFriday.com, which has quite a few flyers with sales and deals for retailers in Oklahoma.

Remember that after Black Friday is ‘Small Business Saturday,’ a chance for you to support the non-chain, non-big-box stores in your city or town. If you have such a store and want to send me a note about your sale on Saturday, message me at [email protected], and I’ll add your information to the newsletter.
