Kate Spade is holding a "Black Friday Preview" sale with early holiday discounts on handbags. Here are the best styles to snag for 50% off.

Even though Black Friday isn't for another two weeks, many stores have already started their sales for the shopping holiday. Major retailers across the state are offering up items on sale ahead of Black Friday to help customers make the most of the holidays.

Similarly, Black Friday tends to be a madhouse at popular retailers, so it's a day I usually try to stay out of stores. But crowds aren't my only issue with Black Friday. I also don't like the fact that many of the so-called deals you see advertised are nothing but a giant dupe.
