If you go to
www.gottadeal.com , you can check out a LOT of sales for Black Fri in one place. You can also find threads on deals on various items. I haven't looked at all the threads this year, but there have been threads for items like this in every past year. Registration will let you ask questions and is free.
In addition to awesome Black Fri info, the site is great at helping you locate the best deals, freebies, etc... all year round, and the people there are very very nice. Around the holidays and often one time in the summer they have a sort of gift exchange that is a LOT of fun. I have participated twice. You give them your name and some info along with a mailing addy. You get another member's name, addy and info. there is a limit (it was $15 for the summer and $20 for the holiday) so that everyone spends about the same amt of $$. One of the challenges is to see who gets the most with-o the sender going over the limit (honor system). I got some items that were clearly freebies, and some super great stuff that would have been a splurge I wouldn't ahve done for myself, but LOVED. Anyway, I also got a huge amt of fun sending items and seeing what I could send, including some freebies and some really great deals and some items we bought in the past that we didn't use for one reason or another, usually because we got several and the one we opened bothered one of us, usually me. I even, after asking if it was allowed, was able to get rid of a bottle of perfume that caused me no end of migraines but wasn't returnable because I got it in a contest. I happened to be lucky and get someone who mentioned it because she likes perfume and was asking for any samples.
This site has helped me send "thinking of you" items to a couple of relatives now and then. I go through the freebies and send any that they might like directly to my relatives. It makes them feel good, and helps me by not having to shop or ship. I did ask the relative before i started so that they wouldn't be bothered by some extra junk mail because of course you get on some lists. It has been esp fun for one aunt and uncle who LOVE perfume. They usually have a LOT of perfume samples when new ones are released and there is no way on earth I could pick them up in the store and mail them. Several years now, Clinique Happy perfume has done a Valentine's Day deal where you can send a gift to yourself or a loved one for free - it is a teensy spray bottle sample of the perfume, but packaged nicely (nicer than most samples, and a bit larger than a typical sample size) with your personalized message. I have NEVER been able to find that deal other than on the gottadeal.com site, though there is always a link to follow.
Gottadeal.com has been written up in most of the big national magazines from Glamour or that type to even the Wall Street Journal in past years. Not sure it is written up this year, but it was one of the very first Black Friday sites on the internet.
For your tvs (if you managed to read all of this), or any other item you need a real deal on, check out their threads and ask in that thread. If there isn't a thread it will fit in (tvs will fit, other items may not have a thread that they fit into), just post. For the first while you will have to wait for a moderator, but they are pretty fast, esp this time of year. Don't forget to do this at other times of the year!
