Almost September...

I can't believe it's almost September already. Pretty soon Thanksgiving and Christmas will be upon us before we even know it! That's always such an amazingly crazy, fun, busy time. I always try to get my holiday shopping lists made up well in advance so I'll have plenty of time to plan. Because come Black Friday (that's the day after Thanksgiving, when the holiday shopping season officially begins and all the stores have amazing sales), I want to be armed and ready to do battle!

There's a site that's making my job a lot easier. BlackFridayScans.com will have scans of Black Friday circular ads highlighting all the great deals to be had -- before they show up in your newspaper! They'll have ads for Wal-Mart, Target, Toys R Us, Sears, Old Navy, Macy's, Kohl's, Ikea, Circuit City, Best Buy, Fry's, Linens-N-Things, Staples, Office Max, Office Depot -- man, the list just goes on and on!

You can take a look at the ads for Thanksgiving from 2006 and 2007, to get an idea. The ones for 2008 are coming soon. The ads are available to download in ZIP and PDF format, so you can just print out whatever ones you want and take it with you on BF (Black Friday)! You can even sign up for email alerts so you know when the 2008 ad for your favorite store is available!

Keep an eye on this one to make your holiday much easier. You want to get your shopping done quick so you'll have more time to spend with your family, because that's what the holiday is all about! So go check this out and start on your lists! If you can afford it, try to put a needy child on your list. And don't forget to get a little something special for yourself, too -- you deserve it!

Hi, I never go shopping on black friday. It probably has to do with my anxiety. I'm one of those last minute shoppers. Nice site.

It can be really scary. I prefer to do a lot of shopping online, but the S&H can be a killer sometimes. If you want a bargain, sometimes you've got to suffer a little for it. :)
