Now that Black Friday begins on Thanksgiving, I don’t feel the need to wake up today at 3 am and go shopping. However, it’s still my favorite shopping day of the year. I think it’s actually more fun now that I get to sleep in a little longer and still score great deals.
I’ve planned my Black Friday shopping and I’m excited to check out the Amazon Black Friday Deals [1] before I head out. In the past, I’ve found that I can cross a few things and a couple stores off my list before I even leave the house!
This year, while I’m sure Amazon will probably feature deals on their Kindle Fires [2], I’m really hoping they come through big on Black Friday deals on the top wishlist items in our family this year:
- Pinypon Ski Lodge [3]
- Battroborg Battle Arena [4]
- Hot Wheels Car Maker [5]
- Gulo Gulo [6]
