The only Black Friday shopping I ever do (besides online) is at the drug stores. Seriously, you can get amazing deals on everything from toiletries to toys at CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid starting on Thanksgiving day.
This year though, CVS is starting some of their Black Friday deals early - starting this Sunday! I'm so happy because this year I'm running (OK, that's a joke... walking) a 5k Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning, which was going to interfere with my Black Friday CVS shopping!
CVS has split up their deals in to two different ads. These deals posted below are only good from 11/18-11/21.
This is the way I plan on doing my transactions. I'll spend $1.62 out of pocket, leave with $6.23 in Extra Care Bucks (ECB) and purchase over $30 in merchandise.

This is just what I'm doing. There are other items free after ECB, which you can check out at My Frugal Adventures! Any of the printable coupons listed above I just printed tonight, so they should all still have prints left.
I'll be at CVS when the doors open on Sunday to hopefully pull off my plan without a hitch!
I almost forgot to mention - if something you wanted wasn't in stock, CVS does rain checks and they never expire!
wow very impressive
