Black Friday is famous for its deals, when retailers offer their biggest no-holds-barred discounts of the year. With 87 million shoppers participating in Black Friday last year, according to the National Retail Federation, stores know there are huge sales numbers to be had on Friday, Nov. 27. And, these stores are willing to slash prices to make sure shoppers are busting down their doors instead of their competitors'.

Lucky for shoppers, Black Friday keeps getting bigger every year with hype starting even sooner. The first Black Friday ad GOBankingRates found leaked at the beginning of October, and most major retailers' Black Friday ads leak shortly after Halloween. This gives holiday shoppers weeks to make a Black Friday game plan.

This list of leaked Black Friday 2015 ads will help you compare prices and plan purchases for Nov. 27.

How to Find the Best Black Friday Deals

So what are the best Black Friday deals? Shoppers should expect big discounts on HDTVs with 40-inch models starting around $110 and 50-inch TVs starting a $175, predicts BestBlackFriday.com. For laptops, expect to see bargain models starting as low as $99 to $149, predicts deals aggregator DealNews.com. But, look for the best values on mainstream laptops priced around $300.

Deals will also abound on Android, Amazon Fire and even iPad tablets, as well as other electronics like e-readers, smartphones, gaming consoles and media players.

Outside of electronics, shoppers can also take advantage of Black Friday deals on clothing. These will offer an average discount of 54 percent with the best deals slashing prices by 80 percent, reports DealNews.com. And, shoppers can stack coupons for an extra 33 to 60 percent off sales prices. This year, shoes will be marked down even more on Black Friday, according to DealNews.com -- 59 percent on average with the best discounts as high as 90 percent.

For toys, DealNews also predicts that the week of Black Friday will offer the best deals of the holiday season with the lowest prices offered on Thanksgiving Day. Futhermore, store-wide discounts will lower toy prices by up to 57 percent. LEGOs will offer some of the best deals with sets discounted up to 60 percent off during Black Friday sales.

Leaked Black Friday Ads: Target, Walmart, Amazon and More

As we get closer to Black Friday, retailers' Black Friday ads will start to appear. Check out these six Black Friday 2015 ads that have already leaked or are expected to leak soon:

Target Black Friday Ad

Target's Black Friday ad has yet to drop, but it leaked on Nov. 10 last year so shoppers can expect to see the 2015 version sometime around then, according to BFAds.net. Based on Target's Black Friday Sales of the past, however, DealNews made some predictions of what to expect this year: Target is a good choice if you're on the lookout for home goods or kitchen items.

Target also offered free gift cards to sweeten its Black Friday deals last year, like bundling $100-140 gift cards with iPads -- don't be surprised to see similar deals in 2015, too. Deals like this also make Target one of the best bets for a deal on an iPad, especially the iPad mini 4.

The Target 2015 Toy Book released on BlackFriday.com on Oct. 23 and highlights best picks for kids this holiday season. According do this ad, the Target Cartwheel app will feature a new toy ever day that you can save 50 percent on. Target also has a Kids' Wish List app children can use to easily pick out their top wants for the holidays, and shopper will get a 10 percent discount (up to $100) through Nov. 25. All Target.com purchases also get free shipping and returns from Nov. 1 through Dec. 25.

Walmart Black Friday Ad

In a recent press release, Walmart promises more "Rollbacks" that last at least 90 days and fewer limited-time holiday offers. This can be seen in Walmart's 2015 toy catalog, which features Rollbacks like $20 off a FurReal Friends unicorn and $20 off a Nabi kids' tablet.

The Black Friday ad from Walmart has not yet arrived, but its 2014 ad leaked on Nov. 11, so it's only a matter of days until shoppers can get a glimpse at what to expect on Nov. 27. Walmart always offers some great "door busters" for shoppers willing to show up early.

Other Walmart Black Friday deals will grant discounts that are both deep and plentiful on home goods as well as toys, according to DealNews. Walmart also tends to offer discounts on last-generation iPads like the iPad Air 2 and the iPad mini 3, as well as video game bundles and consoles, reports TechRadar.

Amazon Black Friday Ad

Shoppers heading online to Amazon on Black Friday can expect some major discounts on HDTVs if the retailers' pricing trends from 2014 carry over to this year. Deals might also be had on Android and Windows smartphones, Blu-ray and media players.
