And now lettuce round-up a few more of the Black Friday 2023 offerings!

We start with Shutterfly offering 50% off on almost everything on their website. BUT that’s not all. If you are part of their emailing list, you may have received an email that contains a one-time use coupon code [that’s why it’s a long string] that gets you $10 off an order of $10+. Shipping is extra and cannot be couponized.

The Monoprice website wouldn’t miss the party either! They offer $15 off on orders of $50+ using the very imaginative coupon code BF15 🙂

Just like Best Buy survived against all odds, so did Barnes and Noble, and they too are having a Black Friday with various promotions, including 50% off on some of the biggest book releases. They also have bonus offers for Rewards members, and all kinds of other things!

Despite wasting spending millions of dollars on the Lakers, Staples managed to survive 😉 And they too have a Black Friday sale. For Friday only, coupon code 63244 gets you 50% back in Staples Rewards on ALL ink purchases.

At Staples B&M stores ONLY (not listed online), they are offering the Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 instant camera for $70. Which becomes a better deal if you have Staples Rewards and/or Gift Cards to use/spend.

Next up we head on over to the Wal*Mart Black Friday where we find all kinds of deals for all budgets including $50 Gourmia shiny kitchen gadgets (air fryer, espresso machine, etc).

In terms of BF Cameras, they have some of the usual MAP offerings that you find in all retailers. Their headliner is a Fujifilm INSTAX Mini 7+ Bundle (10-Pack film, Album, Camera Case, Stickers) in three pastel color scheme options for $55. Camera IS included 🙂

And we close this round-up with the NameCheap offerings including domains (lesser known for $1/yr after coupon), web hosting deals from $10 to $30 (for the first year; future renewal at normal prices), and things like that.

And now to Part II of our Black Friday round-up starting with Woot, running a Best Of WOOT sale featuring a random assortment of technology, kitchen, outdoors, clothes, etc. For Friday only, Prime members can get an extra 10% off (maximum discount $20 off) if they use the official Woot app.

If you are not sure what to get, fear not, you can have the wisdom of the crowds, the Woot Best Sellers list, headlined by a $50 Kindle Paperwhite e-reader (2018, new condition, 1-yr warranty, with Ads), a 5pk of Lightning (RIP) cables for $9, phone cases, Energizer batteries and the like.

If you have a problem special interest in mechanical keyboards and audiophile products and such, Massdrop too is having its Black Friday sale with new site-busters added daily.

Against all odds, Best Buy managed to outlive most of the other electronics chain stores [the irony – in the golden age of technology, most of the electronics stores died], and they are having their Black Friday sale, with extra offers for members of their Rewards program. Somewhere in there you’ll also find their 7-hour flash sale.

Ever the trolls, the MEH website [CORRECTED LINK!!!] is selling an actual troll (!!!) as its Black Friday deal 🙂

And now let’s round-up some of the online shop offerings, so I don’t fill up the blog with hundreds of tiny posts 🙂 This year I’ll be trying this approach, small round-ups every few hours.

The DiscountMAGs website is having its Black Friday sale with VideoMaker ($11~ per year, 6 issues) being the last remaining camera and photo magazine. But they have plenty of “six degrees of separation” (tech, fashion, weddings, sports, etc). Consumer Reports stands out at $14.90 for 1-year (13 issues).

The gift of e-learning with a coupon – code FRIDAY50 drops $50 off on the 1-year Creative LIVE subscription (Netflix style), making it $99 for 1-year of unlimited access to most of their courses! Note that offline access is only available on their iOS app.

Stacksocial is having their Black FRiday sale as well, and their headliner is a 1-year Costco Gold Star membership for $60. This includes a $40 digital Costco Shop card, making it a $20 assuming you’ll use the Costco Shop card. Detailed terms and conditions over there!

Speaking of Costco, their Black Friday deals consists of 951 options! Some offers are Members-Only, others are open to all shoppers. Details on each offer over there. They have two camera and photo options, a GOPRO 11 bundle for $280 and an Ascend Aeronautics drone (2 stars on 8 ratings) for $70.

I love the NewEgg website. The bigger the sale, the bigger the font they use. In this case, there is a color explosion with a giant “Black Friday” in the middle 🙂

Their Black Friday sale consists of 3040 products, which I will be listing one by one below 😉

Good news if you missed out on the Black Friday CreativeLIVE offer. Their 1-year prepaid Creator Pass for $99 for the first year using coupon code FRIDAY99 has been extended for Small Business Saturday 🙂

Coupon code SAVE gets you an extra 30% on select Groupon offers.

To save up on posting a handful of one-paragraph posts, we are bringing back the deal round-ups! This round-up is headlined by a limited time CreativeLIVE 75% off site-wide sale, where the price you see on the individual class page is the price you pay. No coupon needed for this limited time offer…

Adobe and its DRM friends may think they are the center of the photo-software universe, but contrary to popular belief, there are other capable software out there. Such as the NIK Collection 3, on sale for a limited time for $100 at the DXO Online Shop…

Dell is having its semi-annual Outlet Business sale, with “same as new” warranty included. Some items require coupons, others have limited quantities at the sale price. Sale ends 9/22/20 or earlier for anything that may sellout…

If your interests of photography, outdoor gear, used equipment and hippy companies intersect, you’ll be please to know that the REI website is having a 20% off sale on 11000+ used products at their website using coupon code SEPUSED20 until September 21 in 2020… Human-readable and human-understandable [a rarity these days] Terms and Conditions apply…

Last but not least, PayPal is trying to “re-energize” inactive PayPal users with a YMMV by-invitation-only $10 off promotion. Check your emails or your PayPal inbox to see if you are invited for this offer. To activate it, you MUST SAVE IT to your ACCOUNT. There’s a limit of 101,991 offers available. The terms and conditions are shown in the your email/message. This is what you should look for picture-wise in the email, explaining the offer:

AS usual, the Friday B&H daily deals last for 48 hours, so this sextet of offers expires Saturday at 11:59pm ET:

+ Celestron AstroMaster LT 80AZ 80mm f/11 Mars Observing Alt-Az Refractor Telescope for $90

+ Papago GoSafe 550 1296p Dash Camera for $80

+ Azden PRO-XD 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless Lavalier System for $128 after $10 MIR

+ 3TB G-TECH G-DRIVE USB G1 USB 3.0 Hard Drive for $110

+ Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2 Internal SSD for $110 in 500GB and $220 in 1TB

+ iPad mini stand for $15

This is a deal follow-up! In late January 2018 there was a $2 doorbuster sale on a mobile/smartphone tripod for $2, sold and shipped by Amazon. As of this recheck, this has not yet shipped and it does not have a shipping estimate. So why hasn’t it shipped even though it’s offered for sale at amazon.com?

That’s because it’s a different seller. The $2 doorbuster was offered by Amazon itself, while the current listing over there is offered by a 3rd-party sellers. Items purchased on Amazon are from an individual, specific seller, so if that seller doesn’t have it, they can’t force other sellers to ship it you and honor their prices [imagine if you sell your camera, you wouldn’t want Amazon to force you to sell it for a crazy price].

I am cancelling my order, so I won’t have any future updates for it. Three months is more than a reasonable time to wait for it 🙂
