Our Tip: If you have a specific item in mind, ask the greeter at the door where it is located.  Some items may not be in the expected department but rather in a display elsewhere!

"Fine Print": Most of the items mentioned here are Doorcrasher specials.  Check your local store for special hours on Black Friday, as well as unadvertised in-store deals.  Rainchecks are not available for most Doorcrasher items.
