SAN FRANCISCO — Black Friday is coming up fast and some discounts have already been seen, but who has the best deals this year? 

Personal-finance website WalletHub compiled their annual list of the best places to shop based on the average discount consumers can get. 

The report reviewed more than 4,300 deals in Black Friday ads from 13 of the biggest U.S. retailers. While the largest discount they found was 88%, it found JCPenney was the best place to shop on Black Friday because it is offering an average discount of 76.20%. That's nearly a 20% increase in sales from last year. 

Macy's, Belk, Kohl's and Walmart rounded out the top five on WalletHub's best places to shop on Black Friday list. Walmart took Targets spot this year.

At the bottom of the list was Costco, which Wallet Hub found was offering just a 18.27% discount. 

It's the sixth time that JCPenney has topped the list since 2014.
