Black Friday Ads Promise Some Great Deals

Every year, there is one day, when most retailers and stores across the United States stay open for almost 24 hours and offer really great deals and deep discounts. It is what is known as “Black Friday”. It is the Friday that comes after Thanksgiving and is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. While it is not an official holiday, many employees ( except those working in banks and at retailers ) get the day off and this does a lot to increase the number of shoppers.

A more recent invention is the “Cyber Monday” which is the Monday coming right after Black Friday, which is a really busy day for online retailers who will be offering some cool promotional deals. This year, Black Friday falls on November 27th with Cyber Monday on the 30th. It’s still almost two weeks away but it has already started raining ads and offers in anticipation of Black Friday. We will take a look at some of the good deals that we found.

First up is BestBuy, the retailing chain accounting for more than 19% of the US consumer electronics market. The store has announced that they will be selling an Acer Extensa EX5230E-2177 Notebook for $249.99. Other offers include $20 off any $100 online purchase if using Paypal, $200 – $520 off on Dell and HP computers, $130 off for widescreen LCDs, $150 off for TomTom GPS receiver, 40% discount on Garmin GPS, $50 off for iPod Touch and a free $30 giftcard with purchase of iPods.

WalMart is also offering some good deals. They are offering a free $100 Gift Card when you buy a Xbox 360 Console for $199, a 15.6” HP laptop for $298, nd a 46” Panasonic TC-P46U1 Plasma HDTV for $798. Amazon’s Black Friday Electronics offerings include a similar deal on the Xbox 360 with a $100 gift coupon, several Windows 7 netbooks under $350.
