If you are wondering will the Wii be in thanks giving sales in 2009, there is no straight answer. The recommended selling price for the Ninetndo Wii is $199.99 and we have already seen Dell selling them for 10% less than that on their site.
Nintendo Wii
You may be able to find deals almost as good as the one from Dell, but I don’t think we will be them any cheaper than $180 for the normal Wii.
Now if you have your heart set on something special like the Nintendo Wii sports bundle then you may really have to do some shopping around to find a real discount.
The problem is (well it isn’t really a problem for Nintendo) that the video games console is just too darned popular. All the time the wii is selling strongly we are not going to see any major discounts on it.
So if you see the nintendo Wii for $179.99 then snap it up is my advice.

This could be the shortest blog post ever, when people ask me “what sales are going on the day after thanksgiving” the answer is ALL OF THEM.
There really isn’t any store that I can think of that isn’t doing some sort of sale during the day after thanksging long weekend. Even some of the small local stores are getting in on the sales fever.
Obviously the big chains have huge sales going on which feature just about every electrical item you can think of.
- Walmart Black Friday Ads
- Staples Black Friday Ads
- Kmart Black Friday Sales
- Best Buy Black Friday Sales
- Lowes Black Friday Ads
The important thing when you look at the sales is to make sure you are buying something you want, there is no point in buying something just for the sake of it.

There is no real definitive answer to the question about whether the sales going to be good this Thanksgiving as it depends on what you are hoping to find on sale.
If you are looking for a Bargain TV for your day after thanksgiving bargain you will almost certainly find something to excite you as it appears every store will have at least one on sale.
If you are looking for a bargain Nintendo Wii, well you will sort of be in luck. Dell have already been selling then at $179.99 which is $20 lower than the msrp but I don’t think you will find them any lower than that as there is just too much demand.
Sears have already started doing “Black Friday Sales” which will run every weekend up until the real thing. So you may be able to get a good deal well before we ever get to the Thanks giving sales, if you know what you are looking for that is.
Start making a list now of what it is you want to buy and the price that you consider it to be a good deal, we all have a price in mind when we go shopping. if you find a laptop at $349 it is a good price but if you find a $299 laptop deal then you may consider that to be the must have price.
I think that if you are looking for anything electronic this year (apart from the popular video consoles) you are going to be in luck as they are one of the items that need to be sold as they go out of fashion so quickly.
Who now would buy a laptop with xp on it when there are now so many with Windows Vista and Windows 7 on for the same price? The same goes with TV’s they are evolving and improving so quickly that the shops have to sell them while they are still relevant.

It is hard to know the final prices for all the TV’s until they are all announced. But you can be sure that the Day After Thanksgiving TV Deals will be good ones.
So far I have seen Sears ads and the Tv’s in there look pretty good, you can also get a further $10 off anything you buy over $50 so that covers some of the sales tax at least.
I am yet to see what the big boys like best buy, target and WalMart are offering in the way of TV deals during this years thanks giving sales but I will make sure to add a post as soon as I find them.

I always enjoy the Staples Black Friday Sale maybe it is just the geek in me but there is always something there that is worth buying.
Black Friday 2009 at Staples looks like it will be just as exciting. Instead of making us all wait until the day before they are cleverly leveraging the power of Facebook and gradually announcing their offers.
At the moment the ones that are getting me all hot and bothered are these 3
- HP 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive for $12.99
- HP Laptop w/ Windows 7 for $299.98 after $50 rebate
- $90 off the eMachines 21.5″ Widescreen LCD Monitor
I am sure that the there will be more deals announced so just bookmark this page or else become a facebook fan of Staples and watch their stream.
The other thing I really like about Staples day after thanksgiving sales is that they don’t start till 6am, which is still early but at least it isn’t as early as Old Navy which I believe are opening at 3am this year!
Good luck in your deal hunting!

2009 has been one of the worst years on record for stores, no one has any money so they aren’t spending it on anything.
We have already had the Christmas in July sales now we are having the “early Black Friday sales“ which are being advertised as if they will be better than the real sales!
Amazon and Wal Mart have already been selling xbox 360 arcade consoles for $199.99 with a $100 gift card included. Sure they didn’t have many of them on offer but they did have some at least.
I have heard that so many people applied on Amazon it shut their system down for a while. Many people didn’t get in quick enough and that caused some PR problems I understand.
That is one of the problems with the Black Friday Sales, hundreds of people lining up for what may only be 6 laptops or TV’s. You can end up with a lot of very upset customers as you can imagine.
So maybe shopping early is a good solution, you don’t have to get up at some ungodly hour and wait with everyone else in the cold to get what you want.
