With Black Friday just weeks away, two of the biggest retailers are making plans to continue luring shoppers in well-before their competitors unveil plans for the biggest shopping weekend of the year.

Wal-Mart Planning To Open 6 A.M. Thanksgiving Morning?

Wal-Mart has had continuous deals in stores and online since Nov. 1, and has unleashed another round of one-day only early bird specials on their website, with loads of deals on toys, electronics, and products for the home on sale Nov. 7. The latest rounds of deals could signify that the company's earlier Black Friday tease, where they promised to drastically reduce prices throughout the store, is a promise to shoppers that they will offer the lowest prices on several items, with the earlier deals serving as an appetizer of sorts to the main event.

Those who don't intend to wait for the official Black Friday or Cyber Monday events however, can get an early start by purchasing the following items (and several others) at discounted prices online now:

Stores Announce Earliest Black Friday Sale Times Yet

1. PS3 12GB Console for $159.00 (originally $199.00)

2. RCA 10.1" Tablet 16GB Quad Core with keyboard/case $99.99

3. Apple iPad Mini 16GB Wi-Fi $199.00

4. SANYO 58" 1080p HD LED TV $499.00

And though Wal-Mart has mostly gotten ahead of their competitors with their early online sales events, other major retailers, including Best Buy, have also unveiled plans for big sales ahead of Black Friday and Thanksgiving. The company will be having a special savings event at select stores Saturday Nov. 8 from 1:00-4:00 p.m., where shoppers will receive special deals on iPads, MacBook Airs, Surface Pro 3 Tablets, and several TVs and gaming consoles.

Neither company has revealed their official Black Friday plans, though both are expected to open by 6 p.m. Thanksgiving Night.
