About a third of the front page of the 72-page Black Friday advertising supplement from J.C. Penney Co. Inc. (NYSE: JCP) is devoted to a 26-cubic foot Samsung refrigerator and a Hotpoint washer/dryer set. There are also front-page deals on diamond jewelry, towels, small kitchen appliances and women’s winter boots. Not a toy in sight.
J.C. Penney stores will open at 3:00 p.m. local time on Thanksgiving day, and the Black Friday deals are good until 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
The first toy does not appear until page 42 of the ad supplement, where J.C. Penney highlights its Disney-branded toys and apparel for kids.
J.C. Penney is promoting its Black Friday appliance deals with sales pricing of up to 40% off available right now. For example, a Samsung 24.6-cubic foot refrigerator (model #RF263BEAESR/AA), regularly priced at $2,399 is on sale for $1,394, a savings of 41%.
Other featured items include a 12-piece set of stainless steel cookware by Cooks priced at $29.99, a savings of $70 based on a sales price of $49.99 and $20 mail-in rebate offer. A 10-piece set of Cooks-brand cookware regularly priced at $200 will have a sale price of $79.99, along with a $20 mail-in rebate, reducing the final price to $59.99, a savings of 70% after all is said and done.
These items were typical of many items we looked at: sale pricing supplemented by a further mail-in rebate.
In electronics, J.C. Penney will be selling a Sharper Image 5.1 Bluetooth home theater system for $79, a savings of 47% from the regular price. No mail-in rebate though, and no coupon offer.
J.C. Penney released the ad Friday for users of its mobile app, or you can view a scanned version at BestBlackFriday.com.
Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?
The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.
Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!
Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
