Found a cool link: it’s Black Friday Sears ad.

I am pretty big into the day after Thanksgiving sales because of the awesome deals one can find.  For instance, two years ago I snagged a 42″ Panasonic plasma tv for $700 … and a sweet nVidia graphics card (normally $250) for $70 because the store mislabeled the pile of them.  I’ve bought most big ticket items on that day exactly because of the availability of deals (because I was willing to be patient).

Thanksgiving this year is Thursday, November 27, 2008.  Black Friday is Friday, November 28, 2008.

I’ve also found Ace Hardware Black Friday Ad.  I have a love-hate relationship with tools — on one hand, no one needs five different 13mm wrenches.  On the other, if you don’t have the right tool for the job, your simple home improvement or car repair project can quickly disintegrate into chaotic, panicky series of trips to the store.  Plus, the tools are EXPENSIVE.

It’s going to be interesting to see what kind of deals retailers roll out.  The retail sector is in shambles due to reigned-in consumer spending, and the remaining standing retailers must be freaking out about the best way to lure in consumers.
