Brookwood Mall opening at 7 a.m. Black Friday, gift cards for first 200 shoppers

Brookwood Village sent over a round-up of their Black Friday promotions. The mall will open at 7 a.m .on Black Friday. The move to open on Friday instead of Thanksgiving is to allow employees time to enjoy the holiday, according to mall representatives.

When the doors open Friday morning the mall will have 200 gift bags to give away to the first 200 people in line. Each gift bag will contain a gift card, ranging anywhere from $10 to $500, along with various items from merchants. There will be a tent at the main entrance with a promo team from iHeartMedia helping with the bags.

Select bags may also have T-shirts included in the bag.

BLACK FRIDAY COVERAGE:

Each year I provide updates as Black Friday ad leaks appear or retail centers share their plans.

If you want to follow a customized deal list featuring Black Friday sites, Amazon and other deal forums head over here to a list I created on Facebook.  You'll see the updates as I see them, for the most part.

APPROACHING AD LEAKS:

Remember these are ad scans from various parts of the US.  Black Friday ads can vary by region.

If you plan on shopping at a store who's ad has been leaked, make sure you see the ad for your region when it's available.  Prices, brands and quantities can vary.

Also now is a good time to start your list of wants.  If you see a TV on sale, keep a journal (online or hard copy) of price, brand and stats.  This will help you streamline your Black Friday shopping in the store or online.

One more tip: Stores will have different deals online, often times that's a good thing.  Just because something is feature in the ad, it doesn't mean it's going to be online too. Keep that in mind as you prep for one of the biggest shopping weeks of the year.
