Walmart, Other Retailers to Start Black Friday Sales on Thanksgiving Day

Target, Kmart included in turkey day sales. Is it too early to start Black Friday shopping on Thanksgiving Day?

If you have a black belt in Black Friday shopping, listen up: Area big-box retailers are gearing up to dazzle bargain hunters even earlier this year — starting Thanksgiving Day, right after you put away the pumpkin pie. Walmart, Target and Kmart are planning all-out holiday shopping assaults. Why doze off in a turkey slump watching football when you can be out taking care of holiday shopping business? Walmart will offer, beginning at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, holiday gifts for the entire family while supplies last. That includes an electric scooter for $79, a steam mop for $39 or men's jeans for $9.50. (Why do mom and dad always get the boring presents?)

Avengers, Gory Halloween Costumes Popular Among Children

Party City and Target are getting requests for more gory costumes and Avengers costumes.

It’s that time of year again. The time when you can put your old self to the side and take on a totally new personality or character. Halloween is right around the corner, and it’s not too early to think about what you want to be on the scariest night of the year. Like every year, many local stores have a list of costumes for all ages. However, there are some Halloween costume ideas that seem to be more popular than others this year. Harold Grabes, general manager of the Party City on Frontier Drive, said even the kids are looking for creepier costumes this season. “This season, they’re going more gory and haunted,” Grabes said. “For every kid that asks for something like Luigi, I get about 10 more asking for the Grim Reaper.” Grabes said …

Layaway Santa Visits Springfield Kmart

The national Kmart Secret Santa mystery came to Springfield.

It was about 1 p.m. Friday when a man approached the layaway desk at the Springfield Kmart.  "At first I didn't understand what he was asking," said assistant store manager Lilly Johnson. Johnson said the "nice gentleman" wanted to pay the balance of someone's layaway.  "He said he preferred a layaway with toys," said Johnson.  A store associate randomly pulled a layaway from the shelf and scanned a toy.  The account that appeared was the one paid. The Associated Press reports Secret Santas are busy at Kmart stores across the country. Anonymous donors are calling stores or showing up in person to pay off strangers' layaway accounts. Business Insider has asked for help solving the mystery.  "The thing is, no one has a clue who's behind it."
