Black Friday deals 2009 keep rolling out. The deals in 2009 will be better than any Black Friday deals in the past. This year, retailers like Walmart and Target are counting on the day after Thanksgiving - aka Black Friday - to bring their dismal sales back into the black.

What kind of deals can we expect to find this year? For starters, electronics, netbooks, laptops, and TVs are hot items that you can save a lot of money on. Recently, Best Buy had a one-day only sale where you could buy a Toshiba laptop for $249.99. The deal quickly sold out. A leaked Office Max Black Friday 2009 ad indicated that you could buy an ACER netbook for $149.99. (I recently purchased an ACER at Walmart and took it back. But for $149.99, I would have definitely kept it).

Walmart has a great sale going on for parents extending beyond Black Friday 2009. There are 100 toys at Walmart on sale for $10 each. This makes shopping for the little ones easy, even if money is tight.

Walmart also has a variety of great BlackBerry handsets on sale from a variety of cell phone providers including AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Walmart shoppers can purchase a handset with a 2 year contract and receive mail-in rebates from the providers and a $100 Walmart gift card to boot. This makes several handsets absolutely free - the most amazing Black Friday deal of 2009. Best of all, the deal is early, and it started today.

Target has also upped the ante this year, offering a variety of $3 appliances for Black Friday shoppers. During the 2009 Black Friday shopping season, Target shoppers can get gifts for the women in their life that are in need of new appliances. You can also get children's clothing for between $3 and $7, a $246 32 inch TV, a TomTom for $97, and a camcorder for $39.

Of course, other retailers are offering great deals this Black Friday season as well. Sears recently advertised a set of energy efficient washer and dryers for under $600 - roughly ½ price. In addition, Sears has weekly doorbuster savings each and every Saturday morning.

If you are fortunate enough this Black Friday, pick up an extra gift or two for families in need. A couple $10 toys from Walmart will brighten any child's Christmas. A $3 appliance or two would make a single mom struggling to get by tickled to death. This Christmas is the perfect Christmas to give back to those in need.

    Are you really serious??? Are you absolutely serious!?!? You're trying to tell us all that you're "offended" by the term "Black Friday"???? Are you really THAT ignorant and stupid!?!?!?!?!? Gee, while we're at it then, why not just take the word "Black" out of the dictionary since apparently any and all times the word is used its apparently "offending" people... You've really got some growing up to do... seriously... Get off your high horse and just enjoy the deals - since I'm sure you'll be one of the ones out there reaping all the benefits of sales for the christmas season! But nooo, be sure not to call it black friday... since it might offend someone... Guess what, I'M offended by YOU being offended!! - GET A LIFE!!!

    It's called "Black" Friday, because.... it usually puts the retailers in the "black" earnings wise. Which would be a good thing. More people get to keep their jobs that way....:-)

  • Sale Seeker11/14/2009

    Some people need to get a life.....stop picking all the words apart.....just enjoy the deals.....I seriously think people have more important things to do than to sit around and try to find ways to offend others

  • odie11/14/2009

    So let me guess, you must think it's a black thing. If any body puts the word Black in it's must be a raices think. Am I right?
