Right around this time every year, Teri and I start to talk about our plans for Christmas shopping.  We have a lot of friends and family that we exchange gifts with, and we have to plan carefully to avoid spending too much money.  So we carefully search for the best prices and deals on the hottest items on the Christmas list.  Black Friday is traditionally the best day of the year to get the best prices, stores are trying to lure in the customers that have the day after Thanksgiving off of work into their stores and separate the consumers from their hard earned dollars as quickly and efficiently as possible!  This year Black Friday is November 28, less than two months away!

I’m planning to use the sales flyers for black friday 2008 to save a lot of money on my Christmas shopping this year.  There is a great website at blackfriday.biz where the website has made available the zip and pdf files of the Black Friday advertisements before they show up in the local newspapers.  This gives you the advantage of being able to plan your shopping before anyone else!  They also offer email alerts to let the consumer know that new ads have been posted.
