READY, SET, SHOP

About 151 million Americans shopped during Black Friday weekend last year, according to the National Retail Federation. Retailers benefit by making the weekend exciting but easy, so they release ads in advance to give shoppers plenty of time to hone their lists. Here are some of the best deals we're seeing for 2016. Luckily for shoppers who find the idea of packing into a store at 6 a.m. less than enticing, many of these deals will also be available online. Store hours may vary, and Black Friday prices are good while quantities last ("doorbuster" deals available for a limited time are notorious for going extra fast).
