Black Friday Deals Start on Thanksgiving Day this Year in West Des Moines

Black Friday, also known as the best holiday between Election Day and Christmas, is coming our way.

So we've went (a little) out of our way to inform you of a strange trend in Black Friday: It's starting early this year.

Walmart has announced that they're holding their sale a day early, starting at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving.

That means you can celebrate the meaningful bonds you and your loved ones have forged, then immediately trample over strangers to get an amazing deal on a 44-inch LCD TV.

But Walmart won't be the only store celebrating the high holiday early, Sears and Kmart will start their deals at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving day as well.

Best Buy, with stores at 4100 University Ave. and 6825 Mills Civic Parkway, will be holding their sale that night at 12 a.m., in the first minutes of Black Friday, as will Target and Kohl's. Target has stores in at 1800 Valley West Drive and at Jordan Creek Town Center.

Also opening at midnight are Valley West Mall and Jordan Creek Town Center. Don't forget about all of our local stores, such as Bella Boutique, which just opened a second West Des Moines store at , or True Style, another local shop there.

Personally, I'll be sleeping off the turkey I gorged on, but I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to take advantage of ridiculous sales.

Be sure to check out cyber Monday as well.

Happy hunting.
