We would like to take a moment to wish you and your family a safe, fun filled Thanksgiving with your friends and family.
We got sidetracked a bit yesterday - the article about protecting your computer / keeping you safe we’ll work on getting online Monday. From now thru Christmas we’ll work on having frequent / brief posts when we find deals online that you may not have found. So make sure you check out the site often thru Dec. 23. We’ll then take off till the first full week in Jan.

Black Friday Reviews
Are you ready for black friday. This will be a review for most of you but we may have some new folks in the crowd. Here are the steps to get the most bang for you buck.
1. Organize your list of what you want to buy…. if you have only a general idea for a gift then make a note of that. The best way to do that is by creating a spread sheet.
2. Check out the Black Friday ads - my favorite is -
If you find one of the items in your list make a note of it. Also most stores will accept their competitors ad (there are some restrictions with this so make sure you call the store first to make sure - one restriction some have is they will accept the ad only during the time period the ad is for).
Make notes as to when each store opens and when the ad is available.
Now is the time to decide if you’re going to be shopping online or at the store. Generally deals start online at the same time as deals do in the store.
3. Plan your route, if you’re going to shop at the stores.
4. IMPORTANT - early (an hour or so before you have to leave to shop) - make sure to check out Amazon. Last year I was planning on a trip to Wal-Mart, but found everything I needed (cheaper) than Wal-Mart and much less hassle.
Have a wonderful weekend.
