This year on Friday, November 28th, store keepers and malls will be opening their doors extra early and staying open even later so that shoppers can take advantage of the crazy deals offered during the buyers’ holiday, Black Friday. There are retailers across the country that will be participating in this tradition, adopted from our neighbours to the south, of offering massive markdowns and extending their store hours.

Listed here is some information on the more popular destinations for the Canadian Black Friday, this November 28th, including opening times and transportation options.

• Toronto Premium Outlets: open: 6am-10pm (get there by shuttle bus from Union Station, $26.55)
• Toronto Eaton Centre: open: 6am-9:30pm (get there by TTC, get off at Dundas Station)
• Yorkdale Mall: open: 7am-9:30pm (get there by TTV, get off at Yorkdale Station)
• Oshawa Centre: open: 7am-9pm

There are lots of retailers participating in Black Friday now in Canada, so be sure to check out the hours and early-bird offers going on at your favourite shops that may not necessarily be located in a mall.

Pre-Black Friday savings continue popping up, and this week at Puma Canada they will be giving you an extra 30% off on the entire site, plus when you purchase any footwear you will also qualify for free-shipping (that would normally cost you $12.95).

To take full advantage of this deal, I would suggest buying a pair of shoes that are below $99, as that’s how much you normally would have to spend to qualify for free-shipping. These women’s classic suede sneakers qualify for the extra 30% off, meaning that they would be $53.90 instead of $77. Had you bought these shoes without the Puma pre-Black Friday sale and the free-shipping offer, you would be paying $89.95 (that’s $36 more expensive!)

The free-shipping on footwear is on for a limited time, but the 30% off sale will only be going on until November 25th.

Best Buy Canada and Future Shop have the great bundle price for the Playstation TV pack of $99, or for just the Playstation TV, $79. The bundle, which includes a dualshock 3 controller, a digital voucher for the Lego Movie game, an 8GB memory card, and of course, the Playstation TV is being sold for $40 off its regular price of $139.

If you don’t want all the extra stuff included in the Playstation TV bundle, then you can get just the TV for $20 off its retail price of $99. Both Best Buy and Future Shop are offering these deals, and they will be continuing to offer them until December 5th, 2014. Both of these stores offer free-shipping on orders that exceed $25, so you won’t have to worry about any hidden fees when you buy either the bundle or the TV.

Gap Canada, Banana Republic, and Old Navy are all getting geared up for the Black Friday sales that will soon be upon us, but before that fated weekend, they are giving you an opportunity to take advantage of some early-bird sales. For today only, until 11:59pm EST, online orders from Gap and Banana Republic will have 40% taken off, and 30% off will be taken off orders from Old Navy when you use the promo code, SEASON, at checkout.

From November 15th till today, Addition Elle Canada will be having a ‘secret sale‘ where you can buy one Nola activewear piece and get the second item for free. The item that you choose for your second item must be of equal or lesser value to the first item, or rather whichever item is cheaper will be the item that is discounted.

Nola activewear pieces are great for lighter to moderate activity, as they are constructed mainly with cotton and not a synthetic fibre that would prevent moisture from being absorbed. These yoga pants, for instance, are only $40 and if you combined it with this tank top with mesh detailing ($40) your total order would only be $40; meaning each piece would be 50% off at $20 per item.

Addition Elle Canada offers free-shipping for orders exceeding $100, otherwise shipping will be $7.50.

For a limited time offer, when you buy any small hot specialty drink from the McCafe menu you can combine it with an apple pie or 2 cookies and only pay $2.99!

The hot coffee specialty drinks offered at McDonald’s range in prices, with the lowest starting at about $2.39 (for a small latte). So if you were to get a small latte, that means that for an extra $0.60 you could get a pie or two cookies, which are each valued at about $0.80-$0.90.

The savings in this deal are small, but can really add up for those daily McDonald’s runs while you’re at the office. In just two working weeks, you could save $3, or just enough to buy another small specialty coffee and pie!

The sale that only comes once a year at Old Navy will be back again Thursday, November 27th through to Friday, November 28th where you can take 50% off on the entire store.

In addition to the massive Black Friday markdowns, Old Navy will be giving away to the first 100 customers in line a chance to win one million dollars.

If, however, you really don’t like the mass confusion of Black Friday sales and would rather avoid the crowds entirely, Old Navy is currently offering 40% off on pants, sweaters and shirts which means you can still save but will miss out on the extra 10% off.
