Analysts are reporting that stores may cut back on Black Friday specials as a result of the drastic price cuts that have been on-going since the the U.S. financial crisis.

National Retail Federation CEO Tracy Mullin said:

"Retailers are bathing in red ink at the moment, so how many times can they offer below-cost deals without going deeper into the red ink?"

That being said, certain retailers like BestBuy and Walmart are offering some pretty good deals as well as some last minute unlisted deals that pop up at random such as the HP g50 104nr Laptop and Printer combo for $279.99 at BestBuy.

I just received my economic stimulus check and plan on buying myself something nice this Black Friday? Drop me a line in the comments and let me know how many of you are planning on braving the crowds this Friday!

The ad featuring Target’s Black Friday specials has leaked and there are certainly deals to be had. They are offering a 750GB USB 2.0 drive from WD for $88.88, AND AN 8GB iPod Nano with a $15 gift card for just $145. They are also offering a Nintendo DS with a copy of New Super Mario Bros. for Just $150.

There are other deals as well, get to your local Target on Friday to see what is up.

If you are planning the trip to Circuit City to take advantage of Sony’s price drop, you can change your plans and get it at Target — and then take care of some other shopping as well with the $100 smackers you have saved.
