Get ready for Round 2 of Black Friday.
Stores are slashing prices for day-after Christmas sales that will rival those seen on the day after Thanksgiving. Big-name shops like Crate and Barrel, Toys R Us and Kmart are offering deep discounts, some up to 70 percent.
Those who arrive early on Friday morning will likely see the biggest sales. Sears, for instance, will be offering doorbuster deals for early birds.
"People can come in from 7 a.m. to noon and they are going to find great deals," Tom Aiello, a spokesman for Sears Holding, which owns Sears and Kmart, told USA Today/
The retail industry is hoping to partly redeem what is shaping up to be one of the most dismal holiday shopping seasons in recent memory. Industry analysts have said this season's sales will either be flat or down.
Black Friday in November performed better than expected, with sales rising 3 percent over last year, according to figures released by ShopperTrak RCT Corp. So stores are hoping to capture some of the same magic a second time around.
Here are some deals shoppers can expect at stores:
• Sears will offer morning doorbusters, plus savings up to 75 percent off on home electronics and clearance items. Additionally it will have a buy one, get one 50 percent off on all toys, and no payments and no interest for 12 months on home appliances.
• Macy's will offer clearance prices and up to 75 percent off on jewelry, bedding and appliances.
• Wal-Mart will offer up to 80 percent off fall merchandise like jewelry, appliances and toys.
• Circuit City will offer markdowns on laptops, digital cameras, flat-screen TVs and more.
• Neiman Marcus will offer 80 percent off fall clothing.
• Toys R Us will offer heavily discounted toys, many up to 70 or 75 percent off.
