— -- Thanksgiving means food and family, but increasingly, shopping follows the festivities.

If you’re among the many people who plan to go shopping on Thanksgiving Day, here are some of the deals you may see.

Mark LoCastro of Dealnews.com told “GMA” that the discounts this year on HDTVs are “the best of the best.”

“We've never seen the lowest prices like we are currently seeing right now,” he said.

That’s because there’s no significant new HDTV technology; 3D TVs didn’t motivate buyers and 4K TVs are still in the early stage and consumers lukewarm on upgrading just for the higher resolution, so retailers are using a tried and true way to get consumers to buy: deep discounts.

Below is a list of Thanksgiving deals available nationwide.

Before you head out, bear in mind that competition will be tough, merchandise will likely sell quickly and not all deals are available in-store. Many of these are limited quantity door busters meant to entice you into the store to make extra purchases that aren’t being sold at a loss.
