Black Friday ads

-What is Black Friday? It's the Friday after the Thanksgiving Day holiday in the U.S. It's the busiest shopping day of the Christmas season. I think it's the biggest shopping day of the year for that matter.

-Why is it such a big deal? Because retailers often have extremely discounted merchandise for sale, usually for that day only.

-How do I find out about the deals? Well usually you have to check the newspapers and watch TV ads the day before and after Thanksgiving. I have an easier way though. Some websites have leaked sales information. The one I use is http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/ Find the retailers near you on that site and scan the ads.

-Once I find a deal on something I want, what's the best way to get it? Get to the store early, I mean REALLY EARLY. As in before the store opens. If you want the popular stuff, say like a laptop for $400, you have to get there at least an hour before the doors open which is usually at 6am.

If you find something interesting, post it here.
