Black Friday 2009 Deals Leak Onto the Net
Though Thanksgiving is over a week away, Black Friday deals have started leaking onto the Internet already and many stores are also discounting items early. The Consumer Reports Money blog rounds up efforts of various retailers and has a good list of sites to check for deals: "Black Friday Ads, The Black Friday, TGI Black Friday, Black Friday Info, Deal News, Deal Taker, and Black Friday FM." Black Friday Ads highlights a $9.99 Blu-Ray DVD sale at Amazon and has the leaked Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us Black Friday ads, as well as a complete list of advertisement scans (though they caution that some ads may be fake). Engadget rounds up some of the "less monotonous-looking bargains," writing, "it looks like Kmart's going to have a 42-inch Panasonic 720p Plasma HDTV for $550 and a 10.1 megapixel Sony Cyber-shot W180 for $99. While you're there, don't forget to pick up a Jaclyn Smith cashmere sweater set for $30, too!" TGI Black Friday has a list of deals that are available online now.
