I still remember that times when I have to find, print, and analyze all Black Friday Ads for myself. A lot of things have changed since that. Now we have a several web sites that already done all this work for you.
First of all: Here is some general and history info about Black Friday (and of course some deals too)
http://blackfriday.bargainshare.com
Now let’s move to the actual deals and tools. On this site we have my favorite since last year Black Friday Tool: Shopping List. You can register and then add all items you wish to hunt into this list. That could be very helpful when you prepare for your hunting.

Here is some more sites with BF advertisements. Most of them have discussion forums which sometimes might be helpful too.

Tags: Finance, Web Sites, Yodlee

Yodlee is your financial account aggregator. It shows you balances for every financial account that you have, last transactions for those accounts, bill reminders, and some other related information like frequent flyer programs or reward points.

I think Yodlee is a one of the most powerful tools on the web. You could spend hours checking balances with all your financial institutions or you can login to Yodlee and see them with one simple view. Yodlee brings all these services together in one customized, secure web site. Yodlee makes your important data available to you all at the same time. Separate instances of logging on and providing passwords are no longer necessary. Waiting is minimized, and accounts can be refreshed so that the information in each one is as current as possible.

It doesn’t get any easier or more powerful than this. And best of all? It is Free!!!!
