Prepare For Black Friday 2010 Based On Our Black Friday 2009 Observations

Topic: Holiday Sales And Deals

Black Friday 2010 is on November 26th, but you should already make a mark in your calendar on October 30th, if you are serious about getting the best Black Friday 2010 deals.

We have covered the Black Friday 2009 deals in great detail last year and I hope you have benefited from it and scored some great deals.
What we have seen is that retailers offered in many cases better deals the weeks before Black Friday than on the actual Black Friday day.

Sears and Kmart kicked off the Black Friday sales on Saturday October 29th 2009. On November 2nd Walmart rolled back already prices on 100 toys and on the 4th Walmart announced their first round of hot Black Friday deals for the weekend of November 7th including a $298 Laptop and the Xbox 360 Arcade Console $199 with $100 Walmart Gift Card.
Amazon moved against the Walmart offers and matched them saving you from having to go down to the mall.
Best Buy got into the Black Friday Sales game around the same time pushing down the bargain laptop price to $249.
The Black Friday deal wheel turned again and again on each weekend until the Thanksgiving week was reached. Amazon has taken over the Thanksgiving week and made it a Black Friday Sales Week and Walmart built up the excitement for their in-store only Black Friday deals.
