Although most retailers are pretty much sticking to the usual Black Friday shopping schedule this year, Amazon breaks out of the pack by starting the holiday shopping season a week early.
"On Wednesday the online retail giant announced that it would begin offering its Black Friday deals this Friday, November 20, with deals continuing throughout Black Friday, which takes place on the 28th," USA Today reported. "Similar to the company's Prime Day event in July, Amazon says that new deals will be added as often as every five minutes."
On the midnight of Thanksgiving itself, the online retailer will offer ten deals of the day, with "thousands" of lightning deals on offer on top of that. Some of the said lighting deals will only be accessed via the Amazon Mobile Shopping app. Prime subscribers will be able to get a half hour head start in the hunt for lightning deals.
This year, Amazon revealed it will be shaving off up to 45% on select LG and Samsung TVs.
