    Thank You Visitors!

    Black Friday has come and gone and we hope that everyone had a successful Black Friday experience and a happy Thanksgiving Holiday. I'd like to personally thank every one of our mailing list subscribers for, once again, helping us be the largest and most popular Black Friday website.

    We also would like to thank everyone who emailed us with a suggestion or comment, those who submitted advertisements, members of the media who featured our site, retailers who submitted their advertisements or released their ads early and retailers who did not bother us when their advertisement was leaked.

    A special thanks to everyone who purchased and wore a BFAds' t-shirt this year. Through your support, we raised $5518 in net proceeds to be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Adding our additional $1 per shirt donation for the first 500 shirts sold, total donation amount increases to $6018.

    Due to the overwhelming demand for the shirts, we sweetened our offer by donating $1 per shirt sold (for the first 750 shirts) in the month of November to the American Diabetes Association. Because we greatly surpassed this amount, we're doubling our donation to $1500 for a total donation of over $7500 between the two charities.

    We received a lot of feedback and suggestions that we will be implementing in our 2010 site. Additionally, we will be covering weekly sales and hot daily deals throughout December for the Christmas shopping season. Coverage will begin starting Wednesday, December 2nd.

    It's truly been a pleasure to get to talk to the many thousands of you the past two months; we hope everyone enjoyed the site and we look forward to seeing all of you again in 2010!

    Thanks for Visiting and Happy Holidays!

    Cyber Monday Sales Going on Now!

    Now that most retailer's Black Friday weekend sales have passed, they have started to push their Cyber Monday sales live! Cyber Monday marks the last "official" sale day of the Thanksgiving Weekend and all items are while supplies last, so the hot items will certainly go fast.










    In addition to the Cyber Monday sales, we'll also be covering the upcoming weekly sales leading up to the Winter Holidays along with posting hot daily deals that rival or beat typical Black Friday pricing!

    Best Buy Puts Up 2 Door-Busters Early!

    BestBuy has put up two of their Black Friday Door Buster deals early! The two items are:

    These are currently the only two Best Buy Black Friday door-busters online, although if you check out their Best Buy Doorbusters 2009 page, you can see that many other items are planned to be sold online in the very near future (sole exception seems to be the $200 HP laptop).

    We expect a lot more Best Buy Black Friday items to become available for sale online at their Black Friday prices starting sometime later tonight/early tomorrow. All of this information is available in our Online Black Friday Sales Tracker news post!

    TomTom XL 330S 4.3" GPS Bundle for $100 at BestBuy

    BestBuy currently has the TomTom XL 330S 4.3" GPS Bundle with free carrying case and car charger for $99.99 shipped! The XL 330S normally retails for $160 (not including the carrying case and car charger)!

    The XL 330S features a touch-screen 4.3" screen with 1GB of flash memory, text-to-speech capabilities and TeleAtlas pre-loaded maps of the United States and Canada. The XL 330S is not featured in any Black Friday advertisements this year, but the $99 price-tag is on par with the door-buster pricing of the text-to-speech GPS devices.

    Fuji FinePix J28 Camera, 2GB SD Card & Case for $80

    Amazon currently has the Fujifilm FinePix J28 10MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom, 2GB SD Memory Card and Compact Case all for $80 shipped! The FinePix J28 by itself usually retails for over $100, combine that with the $20 of free accessories included in this bundle and it's a savings of around $40!

    Follow these steps to get the bundle:

    1. Click Here
    2. Select the J28 camera, 2GB SD Card and one of the cases (either red or blue)
    3. Hit Add to Cart
    4. Click Proceed to Checkout
    5. Select FREE Super Saver Shipping for Free Shipping
    6. Total should be $79.99 after $20.75 promotional savings (shows up on the last screen before you place your order).

    The Fujifilm FinePix J28 features a 3x Optical Zoom, 2.7" LCD and automatic face detection with red eye removal! Definitely a bargain for those who are in the market for a $100 or less digital camera and don't want to fight the Black Friday crowds! Additionally, check out our just posted Digital Camera Buying Guide for our picks of the top digital cameras on sale this Black Friday!

    Nintendo DSi Brain Age Bundle Pre-Order for $154.91

    Amazon currently has the White Nintendo DSi Brain Age Bundle available for pre-order for $154.91 shipped. Unfortunately, the Metallic Blue Mario bundle is not available for $154.91 anymore. The expected ship date is November 27th and this purchase qualifies for Amazon's pre-order price guarantee: "if the Amazon.com price decreases between your order time and the end of the day of the release date, you'll receive the lowest price."

    The DSi Bundle comes with 5 pre-installed titles, they are:

    • Brain Age Express: Sudoku
    • Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters
    • Brain Age Express: Math
    • Photo Clock
    • Clubhouse Games Express: Card Classics

    This deal compares favorably with the Black Friday sales of Kmart ($169.99 w/ $25 GC) and Best Buy ($169.99 w / $20 GC). When you consider that Amazon only charges sales tax in five states (KS, KY, ND, NY and WA) and assume that the national sales tax rate is around 6.5%, it brings the total price (including gift-card deduction) of the Kmart deal to $156.05 and the Best Buy deal to $161.05. Not bad for a deal you don't have to leave your computer for!

    Online Black Friday Sales Information

    First things first, Dell Small Business has started their Black Friday Sale early! Included in the sale are the Vostro A90 Netbook w/ 8GB Solid State Hard-Drive for $184, the Vostro A860 15.6" Laptop for $319 and the Dell E2310H 23" Widescreen LCD Monitor for $169.

    Dell Home is having a Early Bird Sale w/ Up to 40% off Select Electronics and Accessories (including video games) good until 11:59pm CST

    Additionally, Buy.com is doing a today-only pre-Black Friday Sale, while Staples is doing a now through Thursday Extra Early Savings Event.


    Amazon is continuing with their Black Friday Deals Week Sale with special sales on Movies & TV Shows. Amazon is staggering different deals throughout the day, with some of the better ones being completely unannounced (e.g. the Nintendo DS for $100 yesterday), so we highly recommend bookmarking both of these links and checking them often to stay current on the newest Amazon sale.

    Now for the big news, we think we may finally have some good leads on what will be available online during the Best Buy and Walmart Black Friday sales. For Best Buy, in addition to the items listed in the Best Buy's Secret Door-Busters Sale (all of which we believe will be available online with the sole exception of the $200 HP laptop), Best Buy has put almost every sale item in their Black Friday advertisement online. Usually when a retailer creates an online page for an item, it means that they plan on offering the item for sale online. This is speculation, but considering most of these new pages have coming soon buttons makes us believe that the majority of the Best Buy Black Friday advertisement will be available online.

    As for Walmart, if you go to this page and enter your zip code, you can see the full 32-page Walmart Black Friday advertisement. If you click on the items in the ad, a window will pop up and in the footer say either, "This item will be available in stores and online beginning Friday, November 27th" or "This item will only be available in stores beginning Friday, November 27."

    The good news? All noteworthy electronics (the $250 32" LCD, $78 Blu-ray Player, $98 DS Lite, $298 HP Celeron Laptop, etc.) are going to be available both in stores and online! The only big item that is going to be in-store only is the Emerson 42" Plasma HDTV for $448. The $4 kitchen appliances (hand-mixer, slow cooker, mini chopper), and about half of the toys, clothing and tools are also in-store only.

    There are some discrepancies in the advertisement, as on page 26, the $249 Nintendo Wii Bundle, $498 Acer 17.3" Laptop and $688 RCA 46" LCD HDTV are all supposed to be "only at Walmart.com," yet when clicked on, it says they will be available in stores and online. Additionally, on page 32 (the Saturday only sale), all the items say they will be available in stores and online beginning Friday, November 27. We're pretty sure these are just tiny oversights though.

    What does all this mean? That the majority of BestBuy and Walmart Black Friday sale items will be available online! Hopefully this holds true and other retailers follow suit, which means that you could very well do all your Black Friday shopping from home this year!
