Goodness the deals started early this year! It took me by surprise for sure but then again this year is unusual because we have 6 fewer days between Christmas and Thanksgiving.
We have already seen tons of great deals and things have slowed down a bit for today. It might be a nice time to regroup and go through your lists and see what you have left to buy.
I plan to make my calendar from Shutterfly and get some birthday cards and such done today.
I am anticipating a very busy night tonight. I expect to see lots of Black Friday ads that go live tonight- most ads will be at midnight EST which is going to be 9pm PST or 10pm CT. I do expect some ads to start early given the trends so far this year and I plan to be posting away as things pop up!
Those of you that get the daily newsletter might want to check in with me late this afternoon and tonight because I should have a lot of deals for you. Remember the best prices on electronics and super hot toys will pop up and be gone very quickly so you want to be all set to grab what you want.
Hopefully we can get our shopping out of the way and then enjoy Thursday with our families and our yummy turkey dinners!
Please leave a comment below if there are specific items that you are still on the lookout for and I will do my best to track down sales for you.
Heidi says
Hello and thanks for watching the Black Friday sales! I am looking for an Ipod touch and an electric scooter. Thanks so very much!
Jamie says
I’m looking for a great deal on Ninento Wii. Thanks for all your work!
Christine says
Do you think it is even a good idea to wait until cyber Monday for better prices. I am so confused with all these early Black Friday deals.
bree says
Thanks for all your hard work-you are awesome! But hopefully you will be able to relax with your family as well.
I was just curious about the Target black friday deals starting early for red card holders. I hadn’t noticed anything since your post about that a week or so ago so I just wanted to see if I missed an update or if you had heard anything yet. I’m itching to grab me a camera bundle!
Charlene says
Bree- I am sorry but you did miss it.

They might have something else up their sleeves tonight but I haven’t heard anything yet.
Charlene says
Christine, Personally I never find the deals to be as good on Cyber Monday. In fact many years I am bored with what I post for Cyber Monday ;). Just my opinion.
Charlene says
Jamie, the older Wii or the Wii U?
Elizabeth says
I’ve got my eye on the Sony Wi-Fi Blu Ray DVD player that will be priced at $54.99 at both Target and Best Buy. I’m hoping it will pop up on the Target site sometime tomorrow so I can get it online plus my 5% red card savings and free shipping. What do you think is the likelihood? Thanks!
Jamie says
Older Wii. Thank you!
Wendy says
Hi Charlene-
thank you for posting all these great deals for us! I haven’t been able to find a deal on the Samsung Galaxy Note Tablet 10.1 yet. I’ve seen deals on the Samsung Tab 10.1 but not the Note. Would you keep your eyes open for me? Thank you so much and Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂
lili says
Thanks Charlene! I am looking for a new blender and a new set of pots and pans.
Pam says
Wow Charlene, what an undertaking, thank you! I am looking for a deal on the LeapPad2 or the new one, Deluxe tablet I think it is.
Becky says
Any city Legos:).
Lisa P says
I have my eye out for a Window’s based laptop for less than $400. WM has HP’s but that is the one brand I do not want. Thanks for all your work.
Also keeping an eye out for discounts at Dillard’s. They have a jacket I want but no store in my area.
BTW-I do not get the daily paper although I will get tomorrow’s holiday ad.Will today’s ad’s be posted online?
Charlene says
Lisa which ad? Most if them should be up by now.
Emily says
Hi Charlene,
I’m looking for a 12 volt power wheels for a boy! =)
Julie says
Thank you for all you’re doing! I am looking for a 12″ girls bike.
Alicia Schreibeis says
Hi Charlene.
I’m looking for an iPad 4 32GB or iPad air 32GB for under $500. Most likely won’t be an air under $500 but if you hear of anything I’d be so grateful! 🙂 Thanks!
Rachel R. says
Hi! Thanks for keeping us in the loop as usual.
I’m also looking for a good price on the old Nintendo Wii system.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Miranda says
Laptops please 🙂 Your website is awesome by the way!
Charlene says
Wendy- I just posted a code for $50 off tablets at Staples. I am literally in a movie theater at the moment so I have no idea of the prices but you might check

Ashley says
I’m on the look out for iphone deals (AT&T). I need a 5c (new line) and 5s (upgrade). I’d love to be able to skip the Friday morning Walmart deal, even if it means saving a little less. I have a feeling that is the best deal by far though. What do you think?
Thanks for all your hardwork bringing us the best deals!
lisa says
Charlene! You are wonderful! I’m in the market for Just Dance 2014 and a Plasma Car. Also was wondering what your take on when the best sale at the Disney Store would be? Black Friday? After Christmas? Thank you again!
Charlene says
Lisa- last year it was Black Friday. They sent me the early BF deals which will be live in the morning and I am not impressed at all. I haven’t seen Cyber Monday yet but I will have a post in the morning with the deals for tomorrow.
Kimberly says
I’m with Elizabeth, looking for the Sony Bluray player for the price offered by Target and Best Buy.
Robin says
I used the Best Buy website ad with $99 Beats & got Walmart to price-match last night. They had none on the shelves, but plenty in back waiting for Black Wed/Thur/Fri. It might be worth it to get it tonight than mess with the chaos tomorrow,
Charlene says
But Robin Best Buy was sold out right? That offer sold out really early in the morning. Doesn’t that feel like cheating to you? If the cashier is not informed enough to confirm the price match is currently available- I personally would not feel good about that.
Melanie says
Hi! I’m looking for the best prices for Doc McStuffins Upholstered Chair and the Sofia the First ball pit. Your hard work is greatly appreciated!
Mandy says
Looking for a 3ds or 3dsxl. I know target has a door buster at 8pm tomorrow. Not wanting to stand in line for that. $149 so a good deal. Can I price match that now?
Lindsey says
I am interested in Nintendo 3ds deals also.
Shelby says
My two big items I am hoping to find deals on is the old wii and iPod touch
Tatyana says
I would like to get a leather jacket. Thank you
Susan J says
This is a little late, but I have a 4 year old who is into planets and geography and stuff–I was hoping to find him a fun educational globe toy. I have been looking and they are expensive! Not the most popular toys I am sure but if you see any good deals on anything like that I would appreciate it. Thanks for all you do to help save us all money!!
