What’s so great about the JCPenney Black Friday Sale? They offer special buys instead of doorbusters (while supplies last), huge discounts (60-70% off) on apparel,  home products, Christmas decor and high value mail-in rebates.  They also offer exclusive coupon discounts for in-store shoppers. This year they will be giving in-store shoppers scratch-off coupons for a chance to win $500 off a $500 purchase, $100 off a $100 purchase, or $10 off a $10 purchase! That’s free money people!

Coupons are handed out BEFORE the store opens, so if you want to take the chance of getting a $100 or $500 off coupon, you’ll want to go early, because they do run out of coupons. Note that 99% of the coupons are $10 off, 1% are $100 off $100, and there is at least one $500 off $500 coupon in each participating store.

In 2018, JCPenney started some excellent “Black Friday Prices Now” deals (featuring PJ’s, towels, cookware, accessories…) the weekend before Thanksgiving. We will let you know for sure as soon as we know! JCPenney’s “official” Black Friday deals start online on Thanksgiving morning. In store deals start at 2pm on Thanksgiving and run through Black Friday at 10pm. That’s right, they will be open all night long!

However, unless you’re dying to get your hands on one of the coupons, you really don’t need to go in-store to get the deals. Orders over $49 will ship for free, otherwise choose the free ship-to-store option and pick your order up after Black Friday weekend.
