3 sites to find the best Black Friday sales, specials, and deals

Posted on November 24, 2008 at 5:45 am

Black Friday is coming upon us very soon and so are the plethora of deals, coupons, specials, crazy sales, rebates, and lots more! Like most Americans, you will probably be shopping from dawn to dusk on Black Friday, but unless you really plan out what you want to buy and from where, you can end up missing lots of great bargains!

So if you plan on just running to the mall and trying to find random deals, don’t do it! Take some time to figure out what are the really good deals in your area and then plan on getting to those stores early. Remember that even if you are not one of the many people who will be standing in line all night, you can still find great deals and specials on lots of other cool stuff.

So, other than your local newspaper, what are the other ways you can find out about secret coupons, last minute sales, etc for Black Friday? The Web! Compared to my first Black Friday several years ago, last year was by far my best shopping spree. I was able to actually get some of the popular products that I wanted for crazy low prices, but I had to spend a few hours researching online.

Here are a few of the Black Friday web sites you will want to check out to find the best ads, deals, and sales.

Black-Friday.net

This has been one of my favorite sites to find great deals on Black Friday. What I like best is that I can quickly go to the stores that I enjoy shopping at, like Circuit City, Best Buy, etc, and find all the deals from that one store.

I can also browse by shopping category, such as clothing, digital cameras, GPS systems, MP3 playes, etc and find the best deals on a specific item, such as an iPod across all the retailers, whether they are a physical store or online.

BFADS.net

My second favorite site for Black Friday deals is BFAds.net. You can also browse ads by store, such as Banana Republic, Costco, etc, but you can also get lots more details and tools, such as hot deals, online deals, adscans, shopping list, store hours, and more.

So want to know how long Best Buy is staying open on Black Friday, then check out BFAds.net. It also has a really nice shopping list that I use to keep track of everything I want to buy.

Not only that, but have an Articles section in which they write up in-depth articles and guides on how to shop for Black Friday. Here’s a few examples:

FatWallet.com

My third must-visit site for Black Friday shopping is FatWallet.com. I usually end up finding some really good deals on this site that I can’t find anywhere else. I’m not really sure why, but I think it’s because of the huge community of savvy shoppers that use the site.

If you browse the forums, people are always posting deals and ads from their local community that you may not see online or in the newspaper. They also have the largest number of stores out of all the sites! You can literally find deals for just about anything on FatWallet from contact lenses to baby toys.
