With the holidays fast approaching, there are going to be some great deals out there that will be available for anyone that wants to save some money. Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is when a lot of retailers have some great bargains. They’re hoping to get out of the “red” and into the “black” on their profit margins.
Now if you have nightmares about being run over by a shopping cart moving at speeds that would get you a ticket in most urban areas or you see yourself being pummeled by a huge guy headed for the latest deal on a big screen TV and intent on destroying everyone in his path like an NFL linebacker looking for a quarterback, you can solve this problem quite simply.
What’s the best way to avoid losing sleep by standing in line at 4 AM while you wait for your favorite retailer to open their doors? The answer is to shop online. Many of the larger retailers, such as Amazon.com, offer Black Friday specials online well in advance of Black Friday and sometimes even offer bigger and better savings than you can get in store. You can avoid the crowds, not have to worry about taking your hiking stick with you if you have to park half a mile from the entrance and can leave your cooler, sleeping bag and tent at home. You don't have to temporarily "bug out" to get a good deal.
You can also check out Blackfriday.info to get the latest information on all the Black Friday specials that are available. You can also subscribe to their newsletter so you have the most up to date information on Black Friday specials from all the major retailers.
Staying above the water line!

I do not worry about "Black Friday".
I live several hours from any major urban area.
Heh.

And don't forget Cyber Monday - the Monday after Thanksgiving. Almost all online retailers have specials on that day.

I live a good ways from the larger urban areas and sometimes it saves gas and time if I can find a bargain on the net.
Thanks.

Good to hear from you again. I enjoyed your email the other day and now don't have to wonder how your move went.
When you have to travel a good distance to find a store, the internet does make it easier.
Thanks Kymber.
