Your Black Friday Deals List of Lists

The Why Wait? List

Amazon is having tons of daily deals now instead of waiting for Black Friday. A nice gift I see on there right now: the Planet Earth DVD set for $30.49, down from $79.98.

Wantnot.net points out that you can pre-order Nintendo DSi bundles on Amazon for cheaper than the Black Friday ads are promising.

The OVERVIEWS and ROUNDUPS List

A good place to find all the ads in one place is SlickDeals' Black Friday section. Or A Full Cup's board for the same. Both those sites are full of friendly people in case you need help. But for the most comprehensive store listings, check out BlackFriday.info.

Mashup Mom has a post linking to Black Friday deals by category. For instance, if you are only interested in shopping for computers or comparing what freebies each store is offering, her post is very helpful.

THE INDIVIDUAL AD LEAKS LIST

Walgreens from More Than Cents (this is Thursday through Saturday and includes lots of moneymakers after coupon and Register Rewards. One nice free item for Chrismtas stockings: Nivea for Men shave gel.

CVS ad scan and list on A Full Cup. Also Thursday through Saturday. Nice free stocking stuffers after Extra Bucks include free candy bars, a free universal remote and free Philips earbuds.

Target is up on TheBlackFriday.com. I like the small appliances for $3 each -- toaster, sandwich maker, coffee maker. Target opens at 5 a.m. Friday.

Toys R Us, starting at midnight on Thanksgiving, list from BlackFriday.info. The deal I'd go out for is the jumbo packs of Fisher-Price diapers at $5, limit 3. Use three of the $2/1 printable coupons and you've got a few packs of 23-50-count diapers for $3 each -- 6 cents a diaper for the newborn size which is less than I have ever paid in my memory.

Apple Store: This one is just a rumor but this article has a possible leaked ad scan that includes 25% of Macs and 30% off iPods.

Best Buy has posted its entire Thanksgiving circular already.

The ONLINE BLACK FRIDAY List

Online sales are traditionally on the Monday AFTER Black Friday, if there is such a thing as tradition in the world of online shopping. However there are lots of places promising action starting Thursday night and Friday.

Ebates promises some kind of event starting at 11:59 Eastern Time on Thanksgiving. Note that that's 10:59 for us.

NewEgg.com, a technology site that usually has good prices anyway, is starting its sale at 3 p.m. on Thanksgiving. They're promising an LG Blueray player for $99.99 -- is that good?
