ADorama has launched their Green Monday sale with over 850 items participating, which you can organize by manufacturer, price-range, product type and such as they are too many for most people to browse through page by page. But no one is stopping you from doing so – a big monitor helps in such a case 🙂

Marketing departments typically ran out of names and cutesy things to name their various and never-ending sales during the never-ending holiday shopping season. The latest NewEgg sale is called Winter Wishes but that’s not a good enough name, so I’m helping them out, let’s just call it a “Winter Wonderland” sale :)… As usual, some offers require a promo code, which you can use as long as you are willing to sign-up for NewEgg’s email e-newsletters – in other words, give them your email address ~ which you’d have to use anyway if you were planning to make a purchase [eg create an account] at NewEgg…

Amazon Germany is currently running a new promotion until February 28 in 2019. IF you are a NEW USER of the Amazon app (first time to sign into an Amazon app using your particular Amazon account), AND you make a 25+ euro purchase, then you will receive a 10 euro promotional store credit in your Amazon account. I’m not 100% certain based on the computer-translation but it looks like the 10 promotional credit will be applied to the first 25+ euro eligible purchase you make after activating the offer. Only products sold and shipped by Amazon itself, in new condition are eligible. Books of all kinds and digital content appear to be excluded.

To see the details, how to do this, and to see whether your account is eligible for this offer, check the Promotional page while being logged on to your account. YMMV on who’s eligible… The offer is not restricted to Prime members… Your Amazon account must have been created prior to Nov-15 in 2018 [presumably to prevent Slickdeals-style tricks of creating dozens of accounts?]…

The National Geographic store Cyber Monday sale has been extended until Tuesday night. No coupon code to enter ~ the price you see is the price you pay.

Adorama is running their Cyber Monday deals with lots of products participating, with jumping off points for further listings in each of the sections at the aforelinked page…

B&H Photo has launched their Cyber Monday sales, which you can browse in ever-scrolling fashion or jump into the categories which further offer options for sub-categories.

If you don’t want to go through long listings, Adorama has put together their Top 100 Black Friday deals page in an easy to browse down-scrolling page… On the other hand if you prefer to check as many offers as possible, they also have a page with all their BF 2018 deals, over 3500 of them. Of course you don’t have to go through them all, you can use the left-hand side of their website to filter them by brands or product categories of interest…

Against all odds mayhaps Best Buy managed to survive the internet commerce, in spite and despite of themselves mayhaps 🙂

Which brings us to the numerous Best Buy Black Friday offers. Their B&M stores are open until 1am local time on Friday (from the Thursday opening), and open properly on Black Friday actual between 8am and 10pm local time. Some local/regional stores may have different schedules so check before going if you are not certain.

You can keep scrolling on their ever-scrolling BF page to see various offers, or you can use the various jump-off points to go to the categories of interest, por examplos the Cameras and Camcorders page…

Amazon Germany has launched their own Black Friday specials, and they are using a slightly different approach than the Amazon USA mothership. For example, the Germany Gold Box will have new offers every five minutes. If you prefer a different view of the offers, this is their other Gold Box view.

Groupon too has launched their Black Friday sales including some action on the instant cameras and action camera fronts along with technology, goods, photo print offers [under LOCAL deals] and more! They also have their own deals of the day.

B&H Photo has just launched their Black Friday deals. Check the various categories and sub-categories for products and subjects of interest. More details on these later today!

NewEGG has reloaded their on-going Black Friday sale with many more products added. You can use the various categories on the left hand side to zero-down on products of interest, or browse the good old fashioned way… Their camera section is rather anemic unless you are a fan of Fuji instant film cameras, there are plenty of those…

We are less than 16 hours away from the actual Black Friday 2018 “arriving” at the East Coast [unless you are a time traveler or a Time Lord with a sonic screwdriver], and the retailers are rushing to out-launch each other. Target has launched now over 400 Black Friday doorbusters. YMMV as I can’t check them all. I wish I was multi-threaded with dozens of i7 octacores ^_^

These are their Camera and Photo offers page featuring digital and of course instant cameras…

If you prefer to get your shopping early and be done before Thanksgiving, so you can have an old fashioned relaxing four day weekend, B&H Photo is running a Black Friday Holiday Head Start sale where you may find what you need and then tune out all this Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Fat chance of that happening, but there is a growing trend these days of people trying to tune out the noise piecemeal and carve out “quiet” periods whenever possible…

All apologies but I don’t have my Best Buy account on this laptop, and I cannot remember my password, so I can’t see what’s on sale. But if you are a member of the Best Buy Rewards programs [free to join], and you are logged on to your BB rewards account, they are currently running an Early Access sale. After that, the sale [or whatever is left] will open up to everybody else. Best Buy has been using this online strategy lately.

The more you spend in a year, the higher the reward level you reach, and the earlier you see the offers. If you are a pleb like me, you are at the entry-level reward level so you are the last to see the offers before the general population does.

Sundays are usually [other things equal] the days when new manufacturer-initiated instant-savings promotions are rolling out. In this post, I’m rounding up the latest iteration of these sales using the nicely organized pages at Adorama:

+ Panasonic Instant Savings featuring various M43rds mirrorless cameras and lenses, along with a few of their numerous superzoom options

Adorama is currently running their Black Friday Preview sale featuring over 2800 products which you can filter further down using the left hand side of their website (eg by brand or product type or price-range and so on).

A new feature for the 2018 BF/CM season, Adorama has a Same Price Guarantee sale through Cyber Monday. For products featured on this sale, with the red “Same Price Guarantee” appearing in their individual pages or the search results, you’ll pay the same price whether you buy now or on BF/CM. Annotated screenshot below:

NewEgg has launched their Black Friday Starts NOW sale, featuring their usual assortment of technology, computers, accessories and the like…

If you are a fan of the way of the NewEgg, they are currently running another limited time Pre-Black-Friday sale on their website featuring their usual assortment of computer-y and tech-y products…

But that’s not all, they are also running a couple of email e-newsletter promo code style promotions:
