Toys R Us' Black Friday Sale Lets You Play Santa While Paying Less

by Shannon Fiedler

Have you made your list and checked it twice? With Black Friday just around the corner, it's time to get started on curating your Christmas list and know who's getting what and — more importantly — where you can get the best deal on that item. And if you've got kids, chances are that list is rife with toys. That's where the Toys R Us Black Friday sale comes into play.

Yes, the mecca of all toy stores is hosting an amazing Black Friday sale, offering great deals on all of your game, doll, and electronic needs this holiday season. And the deals start early: doors open at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day (but be sure to double check your local store hours; select locations will not open until midnight, and most Babies R Us locations will not open until Friday morning). The deals last until Saturday at closing, just as long as the supplies last.

If you're feeling fueled up and ready to shop till you drop after your turkey dinner, go bust some door.! But, if you're a little reticent about trekking out on Thanksgiving Day, you do have a second option: Rewards R Us members will get early access to over 100 Black Friday deals. If you're not a Rewards R Us member yet but this offer sounds appealing, it's not too late — you can still register for the program.

And if you want to streamline your shopping experience, know that registries aren't just for brides anymore. Toys R Us Wish List allows your child to create a registry of toys that you can share with family and friends, to make sure there's no doubles under the tree. Pretty fun feature.

But now, the important part of all of this — the deals!
