Now that Black Friday is here, it's the perfect time to plan where you’ll be shopping.

For its report, WalletHub analyzed almost 5,000 deals from the Black Friday ad scans of 21 of the largest retailers in the U.S.

Those retailers included Academy Sports + Outdoors, Ace Hardware, Costco, Target, Sam’s Club, Overstock.com, Big Lots and Amazon -- though Amazon did not provide WalletHub "all the requested info for all their Black Friday deals," WalletHub said.

WalletHub also separated the deals into nine product categories and found which retailers had the best deals within each of those categories.
