Before on-line shopping was as popular as it is today, folks eagerly waited for their newspapers on Thanksgiving day to read frillions of ads announcing the bargains that would be available the next day. For several years now it’s been easy to get a head start on bargain hunting by searching the Internet for sites that (somehow) get early access to the newspaper ads and post them on-line.<\/p>\n
This year you can find this info at places like Black Friday 2008<\/a>, Black Friday Info<\/a>, and Black Friday Ads<\/a>.<\/p>\n You might also want to look at some of the comparison shopping sites. Most of them allow you to search by category, brand, price, features, and store. Here are some of my favorites:<\/p>\n NexTag<\/a> Check out these sites to find out about coupon deals:<\/p>\n Retail Me Not <\/a>(coupons for more than 20000 stores and a Firefox plugin) Armed with this ammunition, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to capture a great deal.
