Want Not

Haaaaaaa! I’ve been up for nearly five hours, and I just now realized that in addition to all of the Black Friday stuff, Amazon is having their regular Friday Sale, too. That makes me laugh, for some reason. Granted, the reason may be general punchiness from getting up so early, but whatever.

There’s a few good deals on the usual suspects, and a great assortment of K-cups if you’re short on coffee.

I, for example, am short on coffee. On account of I drank it all before 6:00 this morning. Notthatthat’saffectingmeinanyway. Whyareyoulookingatmelikethat??

I always forget about Smartbargains, and then I remember and I am happy. (Sometimes it doesn’t take much.)

Check out Smartbargains’ Black Friday coupons for all kinds of goodies—$35 bedding sets, $10 apparel, and more.

I just love the smell of bargains in the morning!

You know I couldn’t let a day like Black Friday pass without a tip of the hat to 6pm.com, right? They were one of the first sites I went to in the wee hours, this morning, hoping to find something wonderful. And they do, indeed, have all sorts of shoe deals today, don’t get me wrong—Nine West, Polliwalks, etc.

But there’s two deals to set your clock on: First, at 6:00 a.m. Pacific (that’s 9:00 for us East Coasters), they’ll have Flip camcorders for just $50. That’s the way to grab one if you have a tween or teen who’s dying for one, for sure. (They’re only the 60 minute ones, but you can’t beat the price.) Second, starting at 7:00 a.m. Pacific (10:00 Eastern) they’re kicking off their “36 Days of Joy” promo. I’m not even sure what that is, but it sure sounds good. I’ll be checking in.

I’m posting this a few minutes early so you have time to check it out. My guess is that those Flips are going to sell out in under an hour. Ready, aim… click!

Sure, everyone else is out there muscling around for electronics and such, but all you really want is a great deal on your favorite educational DVDs. Or maybe just Mythbusters. Whatever. I don’t judge. Here’s a few ways to get your Black Friday on and feel a little highbrow while you’re at it:

The A&E Store’s Black Friday Deals are up to 60% off regular price, and include Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth, so, you know, that may be worth a look. Shipping on $59+ is automatically free.

The History Channel Store’s Black Friday Deals include limited quantities of items up to 50% off. Shipping on $59+ is automatically free.

And last (but not least), the Discovery Channel Store’s Black Friday Deals mean great deals of up to 70% off your favorites, and shipping is free on orders of $75+ with code FREESHIP. (They have some very cool kids’ toys in addition to the regular assortment of DVDs.)

There. Don’t you feel more cultured, now?

Gooooooood morning! Ready to get a Black Friday high from the comfort of your computer screen? I sure hope so. I’ve got my coffee and my computer and… um… my dog. She is very concerned about finding the best deal, dontchaknow.

A few suggestions to start out your day:

The Target Daily Deals contain both a super-fast wine chiller (great gift for your favorite wine snob) and a Dyson vacuum. Actually, all of their deals today are good ones. And that’s not even touching their Black Friday specials, either. Go, team Target! Don’t forget; whatever you buy there, spend $50+ and come back and click through this link before checkout to get an additional $5 off.

The Early Bird specials are up at Kohls, with free automatic shipping on $100+ and Kohls cash for every $10 spent. Use code TURKEY15 to take 15% off, no Kohls card necessary!

Check out the doorbusters at Macy’s today, and use coupon code THANKS to get free shipping on your $99+ purchase.

More coffee and more deals are coming up! (I am going to be completely unbearable by noon. I’m just letting you know.)
