- JCPenney -- I was most impressed with this ad over all others, if you're shopping for things other than toys and electronics (so think clothes and home goods!) Stores will be giving out $10 off $10 coupons to the first shoppers in Thanksgiving night, which means lots of items will be free or close to free after coupon.
