CLEVELAND - While many people were casting their ballots on Election Day Tuesday, eight Black Friday ads were leaked including: Staples, Rite Aid, Bed Bath & Beyond, Cabela’s, Family Dollar, Michael’s, Sam’s Club and Kmart.

The opening times for the stores vary. Some are open on Thanksgiving until 4 p.m. while others, like Michael’s, don’t even open until 4 p.m. The craft store then closes at 11 p.m. and reopens at 7 a.m. on Friday.

Make sure you read the ads carefully when you plot your shopping extravaganza on Thursday and Black Friday.

GottaDeal posted all the ads that have leaked so far including a preview of the Best Buy ad that was released Wednesday morning. How about a 40" LCD TV for $179.99?

More ads are expected in the coming days as the countdown to the shopping season begins.
