Black Friday Deals 2009 Best Buy

Win $1,000 in Free Best Buy Merchandise This Black Friday

Black Friday deals in 2009 at Best Buy are sure to please. Many anticipate that deals at Best Buy will be some of the best deals in a long time. Lucky for consumers, Best Buy has gotten into holiday cheer early this year, offering a variety of early Black Friday deals.

Why are Black Friday deals so important this year? For starters, unemployment is over 10% for the first time in over 20 years. Consumers are feeling the pinch and have noticed that their dollar doesn't go quite as far as it used to. People are more cognizant of what they are spending, and are more apt to save money because of fear of the unknown. Retailers such as Best Buy need to entice these consumers to let go of their money.

What type of deals do I expect to see at Best Buy during the 2009 holiday season? I expect to see stellar deals on TVs, computers, laptops, and various other electronics. I would like to see a 32 gb iPod Touch for under $150, but that may be nothing more than just a dream.

A leaked Office Max ad pointed to an ACER netbook for under $149.99. Although Office Max had the leaked ad pulled, and the deal may not have been official, I expect retailers like Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and Office Depot to offer great deals on small portable netbooks. Consumers should look for deals on the HP Mini as well as the ACER family of computers and jump on them.

2009 will also most likely be the year of the TV. Expect to see 42" TVs slightly below the $500 mark. In fact, Best Buy recently offered a 42" TV for $498.99.

Another Black Friday tradition for Best Buy that will continue for the 2009 holiday season is the Black Friday VIP contest. Simply write an essay about why you love Black Friday and you could win a $1,000 Best Buy gift card and get escorted to your local Best Buy on Black Friday. You will get priority seating, and have early access to all the goodies in the store. If you won this, it would be the best deal you would ever imagine.

While I am still dreaming about all the things I would purchase with a 2009 Black Friday Best Buy VIP program $1,000 gift card (new cell phones, a digital recorder, season 6 of Sex and the City and the Sex and the City Movie, a few CDs, and an external CD Rom for my netbook...) Black Friday isn't that far away. Hopefully the Black Friday 2009 deals at Best Buy will please.

    Best Buy is unlikely to have the iPod touch on sale for Black Friday because Apple will not let them put iPods (or any other Apple products) on sale. Even when there are sales, they're usually of the "Get a X-dollar Best Buy gift card free with purchase of an iPod" variety because the sales agreement with Apple is very strict. It's the same with Bose and most of the video game platforms.

    TickleMe Plant
    Here is a product packaged in the USA that made my kids Birthday Party a huge success. Its called the TickleMe Plant Party favor. In it you can grow a real Plant that moves when you Tickle It! The leaves instantly fold and even the branches droop when Tickled! You have to see the video and grow your own to believe this is real. I found it at http://www.ticklemeplant.com
