Pick up the 16GB iPad Mini 2 with Wi-Fi in space gray or silver for $199.00 (regularly $268.00) online or in-store beginning at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.

Big box stores like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart opened early Thursday night, and many had long lines of people waiting to snag a great deal.
