Black Friday Season is upon us friends! Long gone are the days when you had to leaf through the special edition of the Thanksgiving Day paper to find the best deals. Nearly every major retailers has dropped their ad already. Some began the reveal in late October, even. Most have their specials linked on their site. They may even feature maps to where you can find the doorbuster in store. Here’s a roundup of where you can find the details plus my favorite deals to snag in store.

Amazon

Amazon has already started some of their deals for what they call Ebates. More than likely, they’ll be squaring up toe to toe with most big box retailers. Here’s what you need to know:

Prices on Amazon made products like the Kindle, Echo, FireTV, and more will be at their lowest of the entire year. This is important for both Amazon and if you’re in a store that prices matches Amazon.
Lightning Deals are still the secret sauce of saving on Amazon but depend upon the ability to sit behind a screen and wait patiently with a quick trigger figure. You can schedule alerts to let you know when a deal is on the horizon but you can’t delay.
When applicable, don’t forget to clip extra coupons.
Use Ebates to get cash back on select products.
Especially when it comes to Toys, check the Movers and Shakers because this often indicates a drop in price. Click on Toys & Games and then Best Sellers. On the right hand side bar, you’ll see a Movers and Shakers category.

Want to know the best price on the must have items on your list? Use a third party site like TheBlackFriday.com or BFAds.net. I also LOVE the Passion for Savings Database to search for the best deals by product.

Don’t miss all of the other posts I’ve written about Black Friday:

My book is now available: Slaying the Debt Dragon: How One Family Conquered Their Money Monster and Found an Inspired Happily Ever After. You can also check out The Debt Free Devotional on Kindle.

This post contains an affiliate link. That means when you get a great deal or maybe even something for free, you also help our family pay off our mortgage early. And for that, we royally thank you!
