The J&R Pre-Black Friday Sale is on!  That’s right, in the latest trend in shopping genius, merchants are now pushing forward with pre-Black Friday sales.  I believe this is already the second or third pre-Black Friday sale from J&R.  Either way, who cares, because it means great savings for Christmas shoppers.

So check out this Fisher Slim-1600 Slim-Profile Audio System for $50, or 72% off the regular price of $180.  This stylish audio system includes an AM/FM radio, CD player, and remote control.

Also, be sure to take a peak at the Coby MPC-7054GB-BLK 4GB Super-Slim MP3 and Video Player with Touchpad Control they currently have on sale.  At $40, that represents a savings of $20 off the regular price.

Enjoy!

Today, there are several great hard drives on sale at some top name retail stores.

Christmas is right around the corner, and stores are as aggressive as ever to get your business!  Today, we’re going to tell you about 4 great sales going on at Sears, Toys R Us, Kohl’s, and Circuit City!

First, whether its for the kids, or the nieces and nephews in your family, or whoever else, check out Toys R Us Free Shipping Offer on select toys!  This is a great way to go ahead and knock out that special gift for the little ones in our lives.  Time to check that individual off your todo list!

Next up is the Kohl’s 2-Day Sale, where you can save up to 60% on many great items!  These range from women’s clothing and accessories to men’s shirts, ties, sweaters, as well as kitchen gadgets.  In short, just about every category of merchandise in the store is represented, so check it out and load up on some more holiday gifts.

And we all like electronics.  Because of this, check out Circuit City’s 4-Day Early Bird sale!  This is a great opportunity to save on items like HDTVs and more.  If you’re in the market for a new HDTV, this is probably the time to buy.  Don’t forget that the Super Bowl is right around the corner, and that’s generally the time when stores look to raise prices slightly to capitalize on the fact that many people are desperate to pick up a new TV for their Super Bowl party.

Finally, Sears has some great promotions going this weekend and into next week, but in particular, check out the Friends and Family event going on from 6pm tonight, Sunday, to 6am tomorrow, Monday.  You can save an extra 10-20% on almost everything in the store.

Enjoy!

They said it couldn’t be done!  Well, maybe that’s a little extreme, but still… Finding a LCD monitor under $100 is always a nice way to start your Monday, and today is no exception.

Check out the Gateway 17″ Widescreen LCD Monitor from Buy.com!  At $99.99, that’s a savings of 50% off the list price of $199!  This is great for a second system tucked in the corner running Linux, or a new system for the kids.  Or perhaps even a monitor for administering the home theater PC.  So many options…

So check out the other great deals at Buy.com, as Monday is their normal day to release their promotions for the week.  There’s some great stuff out there.

Enjoy!

A couple of quick Monday morning deals are here to lead off the week, starting with the FD eSATA & USB 2.0 External Hard Drive from Buy.com.  At $40, that represents a $27 savings off the list price.  Both Mac and PC friendly, this hard drive has both USB and eSATA interfaces with transfer rates of up to 60MB/sec and 300MB/sec, respectively.

Also, check out Overstock’s discount on the Kenneth Cole Reaction Men’s ‘Cole Bank’ Oxfords.  These shoes clock in at $67, or 44% off the list price of $120.  Sizes available range from 9.5 to 11.5.  The only color available is black.

Have a great Monday!

Nothing makes me happier on a Wednesday morning–which is notoriously the worst day of the work week for me–to wake up to an awesome deal on a 24″ monitor.  Thanks to OnSale, my Wednesday won’t be so bad after all.

For only $290, you can get this Acer X243WBD 24″ TFT Widescreen LCD Monitor.  This sweet pimpin’ piece of computer gizmo clocks in at 1920×1080 resolution with a 3000:1 contrast ratio.  The 160 degrees viewing angle and 400 cd/m2 has you screaming for more and wondering who’s your daddy.  Err, uh… what?

If that doesn’t get you excited, then head over to Rhapsody, where you can get the full mp3 version of Dark Side of the Moon for just $2.99!  This timeless classic needs no introduction.  Not sure where it ranks now, but at least at one point it was #2 or #3 on the all time best sellers list.

Which means it’s highly likely you already own this masterpiece.  But if not, or if you’d rather pay $2.99 than try to rip your old vinal to mp3 format, then this is for you.

Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands of all time, and Dark Side is certainly one of my favorite albums.  I’d love to see a Pink Floyd download-a-palooza on Rhapsody like they had a few months ago for Led Zeppelin.  That would r0×0r.

Enjoy!

One of my favorite online stores has to be 6th Avenue.  They are one of those places that always seems to have the lowest price, and is certainly a reputable online store.  Every experience I’ve ever had with 6th Avenue has been exceptional.

Today at 6th Avenue, you can save an additional 5% off most items in the store.  Of course, like any great coupon, it has it’s fair set of exceptions (like Bose, Apple, Samsung, Velodyne, and Control 4), including the fact that it doesn’t work on any of the promotional individual sale items we have listed on the site today from 6th Avenue.  But nonetheless, for qualifying products, just use coupon code AFL5 at checkout and enjoy your 5% savings.

Now, about those individual sale items, one sweet product worth checking out is the LG Electronics 32LG30 32″ 720p LCD HDTV.  At a price of only $538, that’s 33% off the regular price of $799.  You’ll need to use coupon code AFLLGE538 to enjoy this great discount.  The next lowest price on this TV according to PriceGrabber is nearly $600.

If you’re in the market for a top notch home theater system, check out the KEF KHT5005.2 6-Piece Home Theater Speaker System.  As with the TV, this requires a coupon code, AFLKEF1296, which will allow you to save 41% off the regular price of $2200!  The next lowest price on PriceGrabber lists at almost $2000!  So you’re talking about a huge savings here.

Enjoy!

As you gear up for a future weekend warrior project, you might as well do what you can to save a little dough.  At Home Depot, you can save $10 off any purchase over $100 with a new, exciting coupon code!  Just add your items to your cart and enter coupon code SAVINGS2008.  This coupon lasts through 11/02/08.

Also, there’s another sweet deal happening over the next several days at 6th Avenue Electronics.  Check out the Paradigm Millenia 200 Floor Standing Speakers.  At $849, this represents a savings of 43% off the regular price of $1498.

By the way, 6th Avenue Electronics is a great place to order electronics, ranging from cameras to HDTVs to complete speaker systems.  We’re featuring several promotional items today from 6th Avenue, but besides this list, be sure to check out their site for other great offers.  And while you’re at it, be sure to use coupon code FALL101608 to save an additional 6%!  (Note: this coupon doesn’t work for any of the products we featured today because they are part of a special promotion that’s excluded.)

Have a good Friday and a great weekend!

With the announcement of the next generation aluminum MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops, this presents a great buying opportunity for closeout pricing on the MacBook Pro and Air models.

At MacMall, you can save nearly 20% off the normal price right now, thanks to this closeout pricing.  For instance, in the MacBook Pro closeout deals page, you can get configurations such as the 15.4″ Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz models for just $1400, or $200 the regular price.  You’ll typically never find Apple MacBook Pro and/or Air models discounted more than $50 or so, so this represents a great buying opportunity.
