Ifè Oshun: Notes From A Thrifty WAHM » deals http://oshun55.com/ifeoshun Daily Thrifty Tips and Frugal Info Mon, 21 Dec 2009 05:55:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 en hourly 1 Thrifty Tip Of The Day - Black Friday Deals Now http://oshun55.com/ifeoshun/2009/11/thrifty-tip-of-the-day-black-friday-deals-now/ http://oshun55.com/ifeoshun/2009/11/thrifty-tip-of-the-day-black-friday-deals-now/#comments Thu, 26 Nov 2009 06:03:41 +0000 oshun http://oshun55.com/ifeoshun/?p=586 Many online stores are having Black Friday sales early. Here’s a few:

Currently, Walmart tops the insane deal heap with stuff like the Dark Knight DVD for $5, BlueRay discs for $10, and boys’ fleece-lined winter boots for $7.

Apple may just steal the insane deal crown from Walmart on Friday with a top-secret, one-day sale that won’t be completely revealed just yet.

In the meantime, save up to 78% off movie and television DVDs at Amazon.com includes choices like Slumdog Millionaire, and Harry Potter. Find more Amazon Black Friday sale items right now, but keep in mind there’ll be new ones added each day until.

Best Buy starts Black Friday online tomorrow, Thanksgiving day. You can get a HP laptop for an insane $197 or a Palm Pre smartphone for $79 (estimated value over $500) or a Tom Tom GPS system for $99 (50% off). Since the in-store Best Buy sale doesn’t start until Friday, it seems like online is the best way to go in this case. View the circular.

Plus, there are some really cool sites that can give you a great summary and heads up for deals including the Type A shoppers’ dream Deals Vista, BlackFriday.info, where you can make up a shopping list, or BlackFridayAds for daily updates.

And, don’t forget to follow the Black Friday Twitter account.

Happy Thanksgiving and happy shopping!

If you feel so inclined you can get a subscription through Amazon.com to great magazines such as InStyle or Marie Claire for a mere $5/year.

Not only are these magazines fun, they’re also thriving!

Thanks Deal Seeking Mom!

No, it’s BTS (back-to-school), and in recession-addled 2009 it seems like stores are falling all over themselves to out-cheap each other.

Last week Target had this ridiculous sale, and now Walmart is practically giving away tank tops. For $2 you can get a range of colors in sizes from S-XXL. These are great for layering year-round, and the brand names include Faded Glory, No Boundaries and organic cotton tanks from Seed Supply Co.

Check out the tanks

So, no there was nothing wrong with your computer. :)

I get a lot of questions about finding sales and good deals and thought I’d share a couple of my favorites with you. CheapToday.com has “real people” tracking down some of the coolest, most diverse deals out there from clothing to doghouses. They also offer a variety of newsletters with deals and you can choose the one(s) that focus on the type of deals you’re interested in. Good stuff!

Here’s a few other good deal sites:
