Soon to be upon us is Black Friday — the time of year when retailers try and outdo each other to corner extra sales. In recent years, retailers have been springing their deals earlier and earlier trying to get a jump on the other retailers. Some amazing deals can be had if you know where and when to look.

In light of that, what things are you hoping for? New computer? Mobile phone? Tablet? Game?

Alternatively, what great deals have you found (both on-line and brick-and-mortar)?

I think it would be wonderful if someone, by posting a wishlist item here, were able to find a great deal known by someone else in the community.

    I've bought some really good stuff at WalMart, but invariably, if I go back a few years later looking for a copy of the great thing I got there (shirt, tool, appliance, whatever), they'll have something with the same branding and appearance that has been "cost optimized" to a point that it no longer has value. There is a cost of going to the store, often greater than the cost of the goods you buy there, so it does me no good to get something for free that requires a trip to the store and provides near zero value. I exaggerate, slightly, but we are fast approaching a retail reality where this won't be exaggeration.

    Wish I could disagree with you on that one. Seems like most everyone is racing to cash out on their good names.
