...I've seen TV ads for multiple retailers advertising Black Friday deals available only in-store.
Now, that same deal might be available on Cyber Monday; no way to know.
But, apparently some retailers are doing deals to entice in-person shopping.
Best Buy, Kohl's, Target, Lowe's, Meijer... Those 5 are for sure. I saw the ads again just today. But, I think I've seen at least 3 others.
I'll pass anyway. I don't need anything that badly & I only buy for my wife & the beasties.
(OH, I remembered another one: Guitar Center. The text in the ad says "In-Store Only".)
