Black Friday is a huge shopping day in the US and it’s one of those times when customers get very good deals on almost everything. Fortunately, this event also happens online (Cyber Black Friday) so we can join in the shopping spree even if we’re not in the US.

Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States and is traditionally considered as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.

I actually only learned about it last year and was going the rounds of Amazon for good deals (you can watch this page for lightning deals that only lasts for hours). I just use my forwarder to ship the items back here in the Philippines.

Some of the offers would even reach as high as a 90% discount although with electronics and gadgets, it doesn’t go that high (just around 20% – 30% but is still a very good deal). Aside from gadgets, I’d like to shop for watches too.

Anybody got a great deal before or is looking out for something? Do share with us what good finds you’ve spotted.

I think the best time of year is black friday and cyber monday to celebrate the first Thanksgiving. And to buy gifts for those we love. The family is together. However, the product must be selected. The best price and free shipping.

A lot of Paid Apps in the iTunes store are selling on sale because of this Thanksgiving day. Better take advantage of that.

I suggest you find a good deal online then send it to a relative or friend in the US….then wait for somebody who is kind enough to bring it to you in the ph.

These Black Friday deals are really awesome! And for those who have no credit cards or who don’t want to go through the rigid (quite) process of buying and shipping items, I do have a special purchasing program for that. If you want to know just send me PM: ye****@gmail.com or see me in FB.

Thanks Yuga for the techie updates!

And by the way if you want those online deals, be online by Nov 23, 11:59PM EST. Para di kayo maunahan

For those who want to see what is on sale during Black Friday http://bfads.net/.

If you have relatives in US and willing to go in line for the door buster sales, then I suggest you ask them politely if they can do an errand for you. For Tech bargains in CA I think Best Buy and Circuit City have good deals so does Fry’s Electronics. But they do also have pre and post Black Friday sale. Usually brick and mortar sales are better than online.

I’ve spotted a brand new Linksys WRT400N router on the lightning deals page before for $39 (almost 40% off its original price).

I’m not sure if it’ll ever go back in sale. For now I’ll keep my self posted on the page, they have amazing deals like external hard drives, PS3 games and even LCD TVs.

I discovered a site that’s full of deals posted by users (slickdeals.net). Most of the deals are only available for delivery on US address only, so a forwarder or a relative in US is a must have.
