What’s your best Black Friday deal yet?

While a lot of people are celebrating Thanksgiving Day in the US, it has been overshadowed by Black Friday deals with a lot of products on sale with deep discounts.

Amazon has been my go to place to shop online and have the items shipped to my friend in the US for forwarding later on via balik bayan box.

Last night, some pretty good deals appeared on Amazon and one such item is the Canon S100 which was selling for just $229 or about Php9,400 {see listing here}.

I also included the Kindle Fire HD which is sold for $199 (see here) for a total of $428 (Php17k) for both.

Incidentally, I still has some discount vouchers in my Amazon account so I was able to apply that and drop the total price for both to just $254 (Php10,400). Now that’s a great Black Friday deal!

Just the other day, Apple Philippines ran a Black Friday sale on their online store with discounts of up to Php5,000 {see our story here}.

Been doing this for the last 3 years or so and the charm has never faded. Anybody out there got really good Black Friday deals already?

    Nakakatakot kasi magship ng electronics these days especially if sea freight. Btw, we have Black Friday Sales din. I think SM Malls (at least SM North Edsa) had one and it was dubbed as the ‘Black Friday Sale’. It might not be as epic as the one in US but still, it’s a Black Friday sale.

    And I don’t think it’s trying hard if you shop on online shops in the US. I do it to save money since a lot of items there are way cheaper than their retail price here. I can get as much as 50% off shoes, blurays, gadgets, toys and perfumes even with the freight expenses.

    Black friday sale is not just for Americans. We can enjoy it even we are living here in the Philippines. TECHNOLOGY nga di ba? Sorry but it makes me feel agit when I read the comments above not knowing what they are saying. At the end of the day, we are entitled to express our opinion. Good thing here is… the author knows how to play the game. :)

    Seriously, san galing ang mga retards na to going on about how this article is not applicable for Pinoy readers. I’m Pinoy, born and raised here – and I still live here, work here. But yes I take advantage of the black friday sales. Last year, I purchased the Canon sx220 during a lightning sale for $150 – at that time it retailed for twice as much here. This black friday/cyber monday I purchased the Lumix LX7 for $299 (along with the usual high speed memory card, extra batteries and case). There were so many sales to take advantage of but since I now have a mortgage to worry about I can allow myself 1 splurge and I opted for the Lumix. No I’m not using GCash – used a forwarding company and yes mas mura pa din.

    I was suppose the get the Kindle HD as well but I kinda changed my mind at the last minute haha! I just got my Ipad mini a few weeks back, it was an impulsive buy. Good thing I was able to talk myself out of it. Instead, I splurged my cash on lots of digital purchases on Steam/Amazon/GoG. Thanksgiving is still the most awesome holiday in my book (even though we don’t celebrate it) lol.
