Now That We Are Stuffed – It’s Time to Look at Black Friday Deals

This Thanksgiving was another quiet one for us. We had our traditional big breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausage, bagels and muffins) and made our own egg sandwiches. Then we watched the family-friendly movie, Happy Feet. Some hours later, we sat down for a feast of ham, scalloped potatoes, salad, corn and rolls. Yummy! To end our day, we watched The Incredibles on TV.

Now I’m looking at the Black Friday deals and wondering if any of them are worth waking up early and fighting through the crowds. So far, I see a 17′ ladder for under $100 and a boy’s bike for $30. We could really use a large ladder and this one folds so we could fit it in our car to get it home. My son also needs a new bike since his old one is way too small. Will I get up to get the deals? I’m not sure. I’m still going to sleep on it and see how I feel early in the morning. I’m not a morning person by any means.

There is one sale I know will hit and its one I don’t have to fight the crowds for (which is a plus!). Amazon.com is having some Black Friday deals (aff. link) from 6am – 6pm PST on Nov. 23. Unfortunately, they haven’t revealed what’s on sale yet, but I am hoping they might have a few things on my Christmas shopping list.

If you aren’t interested in the deals, you may want to stop by to enter their Black Friday 2007 contest where you can win a $10,000 Amazon.com shopping spree. I entered, even though I have no idea how I would be able to spend $10,000.

Although…if I won $10,000 cash I know a good place to put it

It sounds like you had a very nice Thanksgiving. It just so happens that kids watched the Incredibles also.

Thanks for the info regarding the contest. I just signed up.

It can’t be that hard to spend $10,000 at Amazon. Since they have nearly everything you could always just stock up on non-perishables – lots of non-perishables.

This little piggy is staying home today. I just don’t see anything that I need to buy. All the sales seem to be on TVs or Digital Cameras. I’m all set there.

Well, I ended up going to two local stores. I looked at it, but I didn’t get the ladder. While it would be great for the winter to get on our roof to shovel it…we have been managing using a different system. Come summer, I may look at the ladders again. If we sell our house, we might paint it first. If we do, we’ll need a ladder for that.

I did end up getting the bike. I kept an eye out for a used one over the summer but didn’t have much luck finding the size my son needs. The one I bought is not fancy by any means, but the price is much better than the $60 ones we saw at Walmart. I think my son will be very happy.

As for the Amazon Black Friday deals, there’s nothing there for us
