BLACK FRIDAY.....comes EARLY?

Walmart will start it's Super Electronic Deals Special (or whatever it's called) this weekend. The sale starts Nov. 6 at 8am. Items include some Vizio LCD tv's, a compaq laptop, PS3 bundle, and others. Best Buy followed suit, by having their sale start a DAY earlier. They offered their own brand LCD TVs and a laptop on it's own.

Now the products aren't top of the line, but you're saving over 100 bucks on the laptops, and I would guess 50-100 dollars on the TVs. The quality isn't great, but the Value can't be beat. Best part is, the products are AVAILABLE ONLINE! I got my laptop this morning. (Remember, if you're too lazy to go to the physical store, you have to pay shipping) But shipping isn't too bad, if you're scared people are lining up for these products, like I feared.

Amazon.com is doing a gold box deal where they slash prices on certain products every hour. http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox?ie=UTF8&ref_=cs_top_nav_gb27

Keep checking on those, because there might just be something that catches your eye. And it will be a great value.

My thoughts on the products. The TVs are simple and not high quality, but they'll do the job.

Same with the Laptops. An Emachine from Best Buy, a Compaq from Wal Mart, and a Compaq from Amazon (At 10 PM Mountain Standard Time). 2GB Ram, with a 250 GB hard drive is nothing to write home about. But if you're looking for something very simple, just to browse the internet or something. Its hard to argue the value of a laptop for under $300. My theory is that on the actual Black Friday, you might be able to get a laptop in the same price range 300-450 with better specs. But if you want to avoid standing in line for HOURS in the cold or in stupid Wal Mart....then I recommend getting the laptop early.

My other good deal? Check out the $50 Itunes gift card for only $35. Walmart on Saturday
