Looking for deals on kid and baby clothes for Black Friday? Here are some highlights from what we know already: 

Wow! It’s the day before Thanksgiving. How on earth did that happen? Because the day before Thanksgiving is also the day before the day before Black Friday, there are going to be a ton of deals today. That’s why I’ll be combining several deals and coupons into single posts today. Starting with these lovelies:
If it’s baby gear you’re after, Black Friday ads are sadly bereft of deals for you, for the most part. Babies R Us has some pretty good ones, though. Take a look:
Now’s about the time when the whole Black Friday thing starts to seem overwhelming. Most of the ads are out. That’s a LOT of sale info to try to process. Sometimes you just want somebody to tell you where to find the best deals on the stuff you’re looking for.
Educational Toys:
Dolls & Dollhouses:
Trains, Cars & Trucks
Amazon doesn’t release a Black Friday ad early like most other stores, but you can bet the deals will be hot. They certainly were last year. Curious about what Amazon will do for Black Friday, Cyber Monday and beyond? Read on:
The bottom line? Amazon tries to match or beats prices at other stores, especially Walmart and Target, and Black Friday is no exception. Look for Amazon to try to match or beat the toy deals you’re seeing on the Black Friday ads. You can also expect Amazon’s toy deals to get better and better as standard shipping deadlines approach (about a week before Christmas). I expect toy deals to peak around mid-December.
