Cyber Monday will be Cyber Thursday 2012

Up until this year Cyber Monday has been a huge newsworthy event, everyone goes back to work and realizes that they were too busy eating turkey to buy anything at the Black Friday sales so they go nuts online buying up every deal they can find.

Things are changing!

Not only are stores opening up earlier and earlier, I joked with my wife that Black Friday 2012 will be held on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving next year, but the cyber Monday deals are now starting on Sunday. This is going to give a huge advantage to people who are tech savvy and at their computer today rather than waiting till they go to work.

Consumer Burn Out
There was some talk that people are getting burnt out with all the deals, Black Friday 2011 saw many of the big name stores opening at midnight which meant to stand a chance you had to be in line by 8pm (or a lot earlier) and that meant that many people would have had to leave their family. The stores were still packed but I wonder just how many buyers decided that their family were more important than the 40 inch TV that they didn’t really need anyway.

With the increased push to get people to buy during the Thanksgiving Day Sale, then black Friday, then Cyber Sunday and Cyber Monday, will people eventually become numb to the “deals” ?

I know we have started to think that if we miss todays deal it doesn’t really matter too much as we will be able to get something very similar next week. We bought a 32 inch TV the week before Thanksgiving, we could of saved $20 if we waited till the Day After Thanksgiving Sale but we made the choice that it was worth paying the extra $20 so we did not have to deal with all the aggro.

Will shoppers feel the same about the Black Friday 2012 deals, they are just too much trouble to bother with?

Best TV Black Friday 2011

So you want to buy a TV and you are looking for the best TV deal black Friday 2011, but there is so much info out there it is impossible to know who is offering what and which ones are even worth looking at.

Black Friday 2011 TV Deal

Well lucky for you my wife has collected all the TV info she can find and put it into one easy to use spreadsheet. My advice is to look at the spreadsheet and then look at the prices this Sunday as we have seen prices cheaper than Black Friday on some TV’s. Now you have the Black Friday TV Deal 2011 information early you have time to go and research about each brand. You can make an informed decision rather than just running into the store full blast and hoping the TV you pick up is a good one.

Don’t buy on size alone, the hz matter, the higher the hz the faster response time the TV will have. If you play lots of games on your TV then you really do need a fast response time. My last piece of advice is don’t buy your hdmi cables at any of the electronics stores, they will make more profit on those cables than on the TV in many instances

The First column is the description, the 2nd column shows the pre tax price and the 3rd one shows where to buy it. Don’t forget that many stores are opening at midnight so you could be home with your new TV set up before 1am!

All the info in the spreadsheet is correct as far as we know, any mistakes are accidents and make sure to check out all the prices before buying

Target Day After Thanksgiving Sale

Target stores are expecting to sell a great deal of games for kids during the day after Thanksgiving. These will include Chutes & Ladders, Candyland, Monopoly, Memory and Simon. Games are always a great gift, and it’s almost a race to see which store will have these games at the lowest prices. Of course, Walmart will match any advertised price, so by taking the Target ad to Walmart, the price will be matched and all shopping can be completed at one location. The problem is that hundreds of other holiday shoppers will be doing the same. Would it be easier to pay the additional dollar for less hassle? Nevertheless, Target promises to have spectacular sales during Black Friday.

The Barbie Townhouse is always a big seller during the day after Thanksgiving sale. In addition this year will be the Disney Ultimate Dream Castle. This item will give Barbie a run for her money during this holiday shopping season. This Ultimate Dream Castle stands over 3 feet tall and will have a themed room for each Disney Princess. The 7 piece Disney Princess doll collection also promises to be a huge seller and would go really well with the Ultimate Dream Castle. Also be on the lookout for spectacular deals on the Barbie Fashionistas Jet Set Dolls and Barbie I Can Be…Bride Set.

Disney is also offering an Ultimate Fairy Tale Kitchen. Basically, anything by Barbie or Disney would be a perfect gift for any young girl. Older girls will be happy with the Easy Bake Oven. The Easy Bake Oven has been around for a few decades and is always a favorite. Target will have awesome sales on all of these items, so sign up now for a Target debit or credit Redcard.

Kohls 2011 Day After Thanksgiving Sale

Kohls Thanksgiving Sale

I love Kohls and this year they have done some really special things in their Day after Thanksgiving Sale ads, not least is the increase in Kohls cash back vouchers that we mentioned previously. They are also opening the doors at midnight instead of their more usual 4am, this is the first year that so many retailers have done this but it may just work to their benefit.

I for one do not want to get up at 2am to line up for 2 hours but I can join the line at 10, be done by 1am and be in bed at a sensible hour. So you may see me in line at Kohls After Thanksgiving Sale this year!
