This weekend, everyone is starting to brace themselves for the Christmas shopping rush. Considering how bad the economy is right now, many stores are doing whatever it takes to win over shoppers this Christmas. Obviously, stores are going to have to use some desperate measures to bring in revenue.
One store that is not taking chances is Target. Not only did Target include a sales paper, it also has a toy catalog or "wish book" included in the newspaper this weekend. The book has nothing but toys. Also, it features a number of coupons for many of the toys in the book. The prices are good until Thanksgiving. Who knows just how low those prices will go beyond that?
Bed Bath & Beyond went in a different direction and focused on all the Thanksgiving products one might need. Their flyer includes a 20% off coupon. There are some basic items for the home featured in the flyer; however, the focus is on cooking utensils, pots, pans, roasters, plates, and other items needed for a nice Thanksgiving dinner.
Still, there were the usual sales papers and coupons. Nothing too out of the ordinary as far as coupons go. Were the sales papers a little thicker this time? You bet. Are they going to get even thicker and offer more deals soon? You know it. Everyone is going to compete for customers this year. The stores with the best bargains will surely win.
