I know, it seems way too early to start thinking about Black Friday, the shopping-crazed day after Thanksgiving when people wake up before daybreak to steal the deals.

But yet again, some Web sites are giving you a sneak peak at the ultra sales for this Black Friday, which falls on Nov. 28.  One site reminds visitors that Black Friday is only 14 days away.

Here are two of the sneak peak Web sites:

Already, the sites have posted "doorbuster" sales expected at different national retail chains, such as Best Buy, Radio Shack and J.C. Penney.

Speaking of J.C. Penney, the department store retailer released this week details of its holiday marketing campaign. For Black Friday, J.C. Penney again will open stores nationwide at 4 a.m., and shoppers can sign up for a wake-up call that morning.

Also, look for references to a Turkey Tailgate at J.C. Penney stores. That's how the retailer is marketing the Black Friday madness this year.

Some department store retailers need all of the help that they can get this holiday season. Click here to read about J.C. Penney's dismal profits for the third quarter, which were reported today.
