Black Friday is almost here.  For those of you unfamiliar, it’s the day after Thanksgiving when all *ahem* heck breaks loose with retailers.  It requires getting up early (like getting in line at 4am in some instances) but the savings are typically worth it.

However, the ads don’t hit the paper until Thanksgiving Day.  What’s a thrifty shopper to do?  In order to take full advantage of the “Door Busters” you need to plan your shopping spree like the Normandy Invasion.  Can you do that in a day?  Thanksgiving Day no less?  You’ll be eating turkey or cooking turkey or in a turkey coma.  Or you could be watching football.  Who knows.  The point is, you have many things fighting for your attention on those days.  That’s why God gave us the interwebs.

Welcome to www.blackfridayinfo.com.  A whole site dedicated to posting Black Friday ads early.  If you’re like my wife, you got a little dizzy just reading that last sentence.

Here are some of the highlights from Walmart, always a leader in crazy deals on Black Friday (your highlights may vary):

• A 50-inch HDTV Plasma for $798.

Now do your patriotic duty and prop up this dying economy, will ya?
