Oh Black Friday (BF), how I long for your sales! I prepare for the day of shopping like it’s an Olympic event…exercising and stretching for weeks in advance to build my endurance, eating the right combination of foods to make sure I have just the right amount of energy, organizing my team of standby shoppers to be where I can’t and driving my mapped out store routes in advance to ensure that I don’t miss a beat! This is serious mannnnn! I-must-get-the deals!!!!

Well, seeing as how it’s the age of the internet and the world’s economic position isn’t exactly the best, retailers everywhere have not only started releasing their Black Friday lists early, but they are actually doing pre-Black Friday sales. I may just be sitting back sipping on hot cocoa this Black Friday!

Recessionista Note: This post will be updated frequently, so please check back for more deals!

Here are some deals that might tickle your fancy:

1st things 1st…You may have heard that retail giant Wal*Mart got their hinny hairs all bunched up when people started posting and linking to their BF ads early…Wal*Mart had their team of strong arms fire off letters demanding that the posts and links showing their BF ads be taken down and for the poster to turn tattle-tale and rat out their source. So because of that and the fact that Wal*Mart has only given certain sites approval to actually post/link to their BF ads I am going to just link to one of the sites that I know has the information.

I have decided to change the way I list the BF sales.  Instead of listing by category, I am going to list by store name alphabetically ’cause this baby is getting long
