HDTV Deals in January

Did you miss out on the HDV deals on Black Friday? Don’t worry, you are probably better off. The real deals are coming in January. That is when you can pick up a brand name HDTV for a rock bottom price. During the Black Friday Blitz, there were some low priced HDTV deals. That is for sure. What you may have noticed, though, if you looked closely, is that none of those deals were for high brand name HDTVs. Instead, the Black Friday sales featured many third-tier brands. Sure the deals are great, but you have to shop early, and … Continue reading →

What Will Black Friday 2012 Be Like?

What kind of deals will you get this year for Black Friday 2012? How early will the stores open and will the bargains be worth fighting the crowds and the lack of sleep?

The stores will be open early, some of them on Thanksgiving, as I already reported. There will be a handful of hot deals, but quantities will be extremely limited, making it unlikely for the … Continue reading →

How Was Your Black Friday?

Yesterday, my husband and I went out shopping for Black Friday. We did not leave the house until almost noon, but we were okay with that. My husband actually went out twice; the first outing was a spur of the moment trip with his brother on Thursday night around ten. His brother had never done the Black Friday thing before, and they had found a couple of items that they were interested in while they were checking out the ads after Thanksgiving dinner. I was still awake, doing my writing work when my husband returned home with just a couple … Continue reading →

Three Black Friday Shopping Secrets

Are you ready for Black Friday? As one friend and I recently commiserated, Black Friday is a lot different than it used to be in years past. Back then, it was fun to get up at 5am and do some shopping. Now, though, stores open as early at 2 am. Many of them never even close from the day before but allow you to buy at Black Friday deals and prices starting at midnight. Hourly specials make things even more complicated. That is why it is so important to have a plan and use all of the best shopping secrets … Continue reading →

Black Thursday? Have Stores Gone Too Far?

This year, many stores are planning to open their doors late in the day on Thanksgiving in an attempt to lure Black Friday shoppers and their hard earned money into their stores. This move by retailers seems to have sparked a bit of an outrage among consumers and also among the employees of those stores. I love Black Friday and my husband and I have shopped on Black Friday every year for the past three years after we discovered how good the deals were. That said, I must agree with the employees and consumers that feel that starting sales on … Continue reading →

Black Friday is not Just for Christmas Shopping

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving when when department stores lose their proverbial minds and sell items at a loss to attract Christmas shoppers. This year will be no different. Target has gone over the deep end for the 2009 Black Friday Christmas shopping day. This year Target will be selling kitchen appliances including Chefmate coffeemakers, toasters, slow cookers, and sandwich makers for only $3.00. Normally, I would not buy appliances for $3.00 for fear that they would fall apart in 30 days. However, because they are being sold on Black Friday 2009, I quickly realized that these small … Continue reading →

7 Frugal Reasons I Won’t Be Going Shopping on Black Friday

Frugality and Black Friday go hand in hand right? Hmm, not for me. This year (as the years before) I will not be going out to do any shopping, unless it is to pick up a gallon of milk for my eat-me-out-of-house-and-home dependents. In fact, maybe I’ll do all my freezer cooking shopping, since the grocery stores are bound to be empty. While I could give you many reasons to avoid Black Friday shopping from the point of avoiding the stress of long lines and maniac moms with sharp shopping carts, the truth is that I never found Black Friday … Continue reading →

Special Offers at Aulani, Disney’s Hawaii Resort

As winter approaches (or does more than approach, slamming some parts of the country with storms), we already want to turn our thoughts toward spring.  While there’s nothing we can do to make the months go by faster, perhaps what we can do is avoid the cold weather for a while by vacationing somewhere warm.  A dream vacation for many is Hawaii, and for Disney fans, that can mean one thing: Aulani. Disney’s Aulani Resort, located on Oahu, has recently joined the list of Disney destinations that get their own special offers page.  The resort is so popular that even … Continue reading →
