Shoppers might have had a hard time keeping up with the flurry of Black Friday ads landing on deal sites over the weekend.

It seemed a new ad was leaked every couple of hours, including the popular parent destination, Toys R Us.

TRU's 32-page ad boasted a whopping 200 doorbusters -- most about half price. Many consumers who commented on deal sites such as BlackFriday.Gottadea​l.com thought it filled a toy gap this year as Wal-Mart and Target focused more heavily on video games and electronics.

Like several of its discount rivals, Toys R Us is starting its sale at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, with doorbuster sale prices on Thursday night and a separate sale on Saturday.

While not every hot toy was deeply discounted, there are many good bargains to be found, including:

• Fisher-Price Rock Star Mickey -- $19.98 (now selling for $40).
• GeoTrax on the Go Zoo -- $14.99 (regularly $30).
• $15 bonus iTunes gift card with $50 iTunes gift card purchase.
• 40% off all Lego sets.
• Video games, buy one, get one for $1.
• Skylanders Giants Starter Pack for $49.99 (regularly $75).
• Garmin nuvi 50 5-inch portable GPS for 79.99 (regularly $120).
• $5 board games, including Monopoly and Scrabble.

Some deals are to be found only in stores. And a footnote at the bottom of the ad said that online prices "may vary." Online shoppers, however, can snag free shipping at Toysrus.com and Babiesrus.com this season.

Be warned: While Toys R Us is offering a price-match guarantee through Dec. 24, last month it said it would not match competitors' Black Friday prices.

Other Black Friday sale ads leaked this weekend, include those of home-improvement giants Lowe's and Home Depot, and department stores Kohl's and J.C. Penney. For once, troubled Penney's did not even try to keep up with rivals' Thursday openings, instead, pushing back its sale to 6 a.m. Friday, and eliminating last year's free snow globes for shoppers.

Bah, humbug!
