We totally predicted this. And聽if you want a sneak peek at the 2016 Target Black Friday ad, well,聽then,聽we're got a little of that here, too. That's because this year's Target ad bears a striking resemblance to last year's ad - in all the right ways.

Target聽clearly knows what聽gets Black Friday shoppers in the door, serving up similar deals, and often outright repeats without so much as a price adjustment from one year to the next.聽

As we noted聽in our article聽looking at how many聽Black Friday deals return聽every year, there's always a Nikon CoolPix on the cover $99, always an assortment of Beats headphones, a doorbuster TV, $10 Blu-rays, and the last two years have featured an Xbox One bundle, albeit with different games and prices. The composition of Target's Black Friday ad cover is pretty predictable, even if the prices sometimes aren't.

Target's聽Black Friday Promotions:

On Black Friday, spend $75 and get 20% off a future shopping trip between 12/4 and 12/13.

Then on Saturday, you can score 50% off on any Holiday Shop purchase of $100 or more with the coupon from the ad or online with promo code MERRY. Think wrapping paper, tree trimmings, and other holiday decor.

The Best Black Friday Deals at Target:

Xbox One Bundle with Gears of Wars + $60 GC听-听$299.99
Subtract out the value of the gift card, and this Xbox One bundle has an effective cost of $239.99.聽Last year's bundle from the cover page was $329.99 and included a $50 gift card, for an effective cost of $279.99. This year's price, which also includes an invite to the Gears of War 4 Beta, ends up as聽a much better deal.

55-in. Westinghouse 1080p LED TV听-听$249.99
A comparable 55" Westinghouse in Target's ad from last year sold for $395.聽We also saw a comparable RCA model selling for $400 a couple different times this past summer... and that's about as low as it's gotten, until now. Bottom line, $249.99 for this set is an absolute steal. How can you ignore that? Answer: You can't. It is a limited-quantity doorbuster, though, so wear your running shoes and聽get in line聽early.

55-in. Element 4K Ultra HD TV听-听$399.99
Last year was the first time we saw any 4K televisions discounted for Black Friday, and a 55-in.聽4K doorbuster at Best Buy came in at $900 and Target didn't even have one in their ad. The best price on any brand 55-in.聽4K TV we've seen at any point in the last year is $750. 聽This is truly an聽incredible price for 4K of this size.

RCA 8" Android Tablet听-听$39.99
This same tablet sold at Target for $69.99 last year.聽The eye-popping lowest ever price makes it a solid聽entry-level option for anyone looking to give a tablet a test run without spending a small fortune. This price beats what we've seen on 7" models as recently as September. Quantities will be limited and they will sell out fast.

Apple Watch + $100 Gift Card聽-听from $349
We didn't expect to see any true discounts on the Apple Watch, and that prediction appears to be coming true聽since they start at $349 on the low end right now, too. But the $100 gift card it's bundled with for Black Friday is terrific聽deal-sweetener, lowering the effective cost聽to $249.

iPad mini 2 + $80 Gift Card听-听from $269
and聽iPad Air 2 + $150 Gift Card听-听from $499
Bundling聽various Apple products with gift cards has become a Black Friday staple, and one we look forward to with relish every year. Considering the value of the gift cards they come with, you can pick up an iPad mini 2 for an effective cost of $189, or an iPad Air 2 for an effective cost of $349.

Disney 7-pk Fashion Princess Dolls听-听$39.99
Regularly priced at $79.99, and聽recently spotted聽as low as $47.99, it's聽hard to imagine not picking up these dolls for the princess-obsessed kid in your life. Princesses in this set include Elsa, Anna, Ariel, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Belle and Jasmine.

Farberware 20-pc. Cookware Set听-听$49.99
We saw a 15-pc set from this brand selling for $49.99 in August, and聽that聽was a good deal.聽Target ups the ante on Black Friday by offering an extra 5 pieces of this durable non-stick set for the same price. Pieces include two aluminum saucepans, a dutch oven, a skillet, and a number of utensil accessories. Regularly priced at $89.99.

Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal Vacuum听-听$399.99
Any time you're taking $200 off the price of a Dyson, you have our attention. The infamous bagless vacuum is coveted by many, after all. If this one is a bit too pricey for your budget, don't fret.聽Look for discounts on聽more models than are shown in聽Target's ad once Black Friday rolls around.

Twin-size Star Wars聽Comforter听-听$20.00
Perhaps the only excuse for not knowing that Star Wars is mega-huge this holiday season is if you're聽living in exile on the edge of a swamp on Dagobah. More likely,聽you or someone you know grew up with a Star Wars comforter on your bed. The twin-size Star Wars comforters at Target will bring all of that right back, and the price, marked down from $32.99 to $20, should please any padawan's parents. (They also have Marvel, Frozen, My Little Pony, Jurassic World, and Batman, just to name a few聽of the other characters available. But, you know,聽Star Wars.)

JAM Trance Mini Bluetooth Rechargeable Wireless Lightshow Speaker + $20 Gift Card听-听$39.99
It's a small bluetooth speaker with sparkly colored聽lights. Honestly, who聽doesn'tneed聽one of these in their life? This small piece of instant dance party聽only聽sets you back聽about $20聽after聽you figure in the value of the gift card.

Blu-ray Movies听-听from $4
Cheap DVDs and Blu-rays are another set of deals we've come to expect from Black Friday and from the looks of it, the selection at Target聽is really quality. We spotted hard-to-resist titles like Interstellar, Gone Girl, Divergent, Birdman, Catching Fire, and many more.

Kids 4-16 or Toddlers 2-pc Sleepwear听-听from $4.97
This deal is a repeat from 2014, but we don't mind at all. Given how聽quickly kids grow out of their clothes, finding pajama sets for just under $5 is a little bit like striking gold. Here's hoping聽we'll see it return for 2016 as well.

Canon T5 DSLR Bundle听-听$399.99
This same bundle was $449 last Black Friday, making the deal even better for 2015. It聽comes with two lenses (an 18-55mm and a 75-300mm zoom) plus a camera聽bag large enough to carry the body and both lenses together. Target's聽Black Friday price聽matches the best price we've seen this year on any T5 2-lens bundle.

PS4 Uncharted Bundle听-听$299.99
The PS4 bundle in Target's 2014 ad was $399 and聽came with 2 games聽instead of just 1, but that extra game doesn't account for most of the price difference from last year to today.聽There is a current PS4 bundle deal that maybe beats this one聽in terms of overall value, but聽that bundle聽is priced a bit higher at $350 and includes a copy of Fallout 4.
