The holiday shopping season is once again fast approaching, and there are already rumors of some huge sales that will be available during retailers' huge Black Friday sales events. 

Are More Stores Refusing To Open On Thanksgiving?

Though no major retailers have yet revealed their ads or when they will begin their sales, several predictions have already begun to emerge for what kinds of deals shoppers will be able to look forward to when it comes to hot items like TVs, tablets, computers and other electronics, as well as toys, apparel and more. 

According to Best Black Friday, often an accurate predictor of sales and top prices, here are the 4 biggest things shoppers can expect on Black Friday:  

Black Friday Deals Could Roll Out As Early As Halloween

Of course, many of you are probably reading this and saying...well, duh. TVs are often the most popular items that are a part of Black Friday sales, but this year could see some of the lowest prices yet, with smaller 32" models that are considered off-brand going as low as $70, with 50" TVs going for $175.  

However, if you're looking for a premium brand model...say a Samsung, LG, Panasonic or Sony TV you will need to be willing to shell out a few more dollars. 32" models in those brands will most likely begin at around $150.  

 

Huge Savings On Tablets, Including iPad & Amazon Fire

The Fire HD 6 could go for as low as $60, while the newest models with the brand, the Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 could see sale prices of $130 and $200 respectively.  

If an iPad is what you seek, don't count on seeing anything quite as low as the prices being predicted for Fire HD models and other off-brand Android tablets which could go for jaw-droppingly low discounts.  The newest model, the iPad Pro could be discounted to $750, and the iPad Mini 2 could go for $200. Look for gift card offers on these as well at places like Target and Walmart.  

 

Laptops For Under $100

Laptop computers are another hot buy on Black Friday and this year could see offers for lower than $100. In fact the predictions say that there could be models prices as low as $95.00, though the average price will likely be more around $299.99--still a decent bargain.  

Again, those seeking Apple branded products shouldn't get too excited about seeing such low prices. The cheapest any MacBooks will likely go for is $769.  

Huge Discounts On Apparel:

Have someone on your Christmas list who is a big fashion hound Or maybe you just want to update your own winter wardrobe? Black Friday weekend may be the time to do it, as the average discount on apparel is set to be somewhere around 50 percent-with discounts that average higher than that available at places like Aeropostale, Jos. A. Bank, JC Penney, Kohl's, Macy's, Sears and Target.
