With the holidays right around the corner, stores are preparing for some major Black Friday shopping. Despite the changes in recent years (stores not opening Thanksgiving night, the rise of online shopping, etc.), Black Friday remains one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Last year, sales drew 66.5 million Americans to shop in person and 88 million to shop online.

If you are looking for the best places to shop, then you’re in luck because WalletHub has compiled a list of the best Black Friday shopping spots. For this survey, WalletHub gathered nearly 4,000 deals from 16 of the biggest U.S. retailers’ 2022 Black Friday ad scans. With that, they were able to identify the stores offering the biggest discounts in various departments, including jewelry, toys, appliances, and more.
