Black Friday Ads Digest updated with latest BF Ads!

Task #1 of this weekend’s blog plan has been completed [the Price charts series].

As of 10:44pm ET, Task #2 has been completed: we digested the Black Friday ads that came out this week. You can find them all integrated into the Black Friday Ads digest.

DIGESTED TONIGHT
+ Best Buy
+ HP, Big Lots, NewEgg
+ Jet, Dollar General
+ Macy’s and Sam’s Club
+ Meijer and BJ’s
+ CVS and Walgreens
+ Sears and K-Mart
+ Staples and Office Depot/MAX
+ Walmart

HOW TO USE THE DIGEST
The new offers found in those ads will be integrated into the Black Friday Ads digest. Because of MAP, many offers are similar or the same across retailers.

It is faster to read a single line that shows every retailer offering the same deal, rather than having half a dozen separate entries for the same thing under each retailer. Here’s an example of the space-saving benefits:

Blog Plan for Black Friday Season

Just like the Cylons (ha!), we have a plan! A plan for the Black Friday season which is upon us already – just two weeks away from Black Friday.

This year we are taking more of a sequential approach. Here is the Plan, approved by #6:

  1. finish the Price Charts series – only one is left, the Fixed Lens Cameras. The price-checking and spreadsheet are done, as evidenced by the flurry of RAWsumer deals posted last night. The write-up is coming later today. Since this is so close to the July 2017 installment, and Black Friday is upon us, I won’t do the “Bonus Comparisons”
  2. Digest the waves of Black Friday ads that came out the last couple of days in the BF Ads Digest
  3. Start the Black Friday Situation Room at the Main Blog!
  4. all these should happen by Sunday night. If not, then please cancel the Patreons as punishment 🙂
