Black Friday Ads Leaking Earlier Than Ever Before on FatWallet

BELOIT, Wis., Oct. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FatWallet.com, where savvy shoppers share coupons and earn cash back at over 1,500 stores, launches their Black Friday Deal Finder to kick off the 2013 holiday shopping season. The trend for retailers to get their Black Friday ads out earlier continues as the Deal Finder is already featuring multiple Thanksgiving and Black Friday ads from top stores, including Macy's, Radio Shack, Lowe's and Target. In 2012, the first rush of major Black Friday Ads were not made public until week one of November. FatWallet's 2013 Black Friday Deal Finder is expected to host more than 40,000 deals (50% more than in 2012), including exclusive Thanksgiving Day sale items and the majority of high-value Cyber Monday deals.
