Stores that offer price matching on Black Friday (updated)

Published November 18, 2009

The easiest way to save money on Black Friday is to stay home and shop online. However, if you absolutely must go out, we recommend shopping at stores willing to match their competitor's Black Friday pricing. You may find that another store has stock, is less crowded, or otherwise suits your needs. Be sure to save every sales circular you find (real ones, not leaked ads), as every store that offers price m atching requires a flier as proof.
