(AP Photo/Mark Lennihan, File) After a big dinner on Thanksgiving, the last thing you may want to do on Black Friday is roll out of bed early for in-store shopping. But being one of the first customers through the doors can pay off in multiple ways. For one, you can have better luck nabbing inventory before it sells out, and you could also score notable freebies that make Black Friday deals even better. Here’s a look back at the freebies available around Black Friday last year, so you’ll know what to expect from Black Friday freebies in 2018. We’ve already found a few freebies for this Thanksgiving and Black Friday, too, and you’ll see the word “Confirmed!” next to those offers. Be prepared to stand in line Many freebie deals are available on a first-come, first-served basis. This means you’ll have to head to the stores early, whether doors are opening on Thursday evening or Friday morning. And as you’ll see, several of the 2017 freebies applied only to the first 100 or so customers, so you’ll need to be in line before others arrive to ensure you can grab these items. That may sound like a lot of trouble for a small freebie, but when you’re trying to save money on Black Friday, these little perks can go a long way. The best Black Friday freebies to expect in 2018 Barnes & Noble: Customers shopping the book retailer on Black Friday last year could treat themselves to a free dose of caffeine. How? By picking up a free hot coffee until 10 am, with no purchase necessary. Bass Pro Shops: Fidget spinners were big in 2017, and on the Saturday and Sunday after Black Friday, the outdoor retailer offered a free Santa or snowman spinner to the first 200 customers in line.

Belk: The department store will give away at least 200 gift cards on Thanksgiving and at least 100 on Black Friday. They’ll be valued between $5 and $500, with one $500 winner per store each day. The cards are redeemable in-store only. Cabela’s: Customers who were among the first 600 in line by 5 am had the chance to win a prize.
