Black Friday Deals 2009
On Black Friday, retailers move so much product that their balance sheets switch from red to black. And increasingly, manufacturers are leaking those deals early.
Where to find the best deals this season? The Internet is abuzz with news about sales retailers and e-tailers are planning for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Many have already posted Web pages with information on the sales they plan, such as Amazon.com's Black Friday Deals page and Newegg.com's Black Friday and Cyber Monday section.
To compete, other retailers are letting news of their plans slip out early. Fortunately, AOL's consumer adviser Regina Lewis thinks people are safe believing the prices listed in the "leaked" circulars you'll find on sites such as BlackFriday.info and BFads.net.
So in between preparing the stuffing and basting the bird, which deals should you be watching out for?
Cheap laptops: Wal-Mart is coming out with a laptop that's incredibly affordable, at just $198. "A sub-200 dollar price … puts it in the consideration set for a lot of people," says Lewis.
Cheap Apple gear: The iPod-manufacturing technology giant has already sent Black Friday teasers to customers, advertising a "special Apple one-day shopping event" scheduled for November 27th. The circular doesn't list specific deals, but Apple hints at better than ordinary prices. If you've been hankering for a new MacBook, the prices may not get any better.
Cheap digital cameras: Best Buy is advertising a 10-megapixel digital camera for the almost embarrassingly low price of just $49.95, and other stores such as Office Depot are matching that price with different models. Digital cameras will almost certainly be a huge seller on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
