Best Websites for Black Friday

Okay sooooo as my husband and I were standing in line for our free pizza on Tuesday (when it was quite chilly!) we thought how it was great practice for Black Friday!  (And yes it was worth it we got two meals and it was soooo good!)
Check out this post here what you can do now to prepare for black friday:

Also a good site to look at product reviews especially if you plan to buy on-line.  I need them since I'm not all that electronics savvy.
http://www.consumersearch.com/

To stay abreast of the deals you may want to subsribe to some or all of the sites.  And as with all your coupon and deal information you may want to set up a separate email if you haven't already so these don't clog up your personal email.  (There is a yahoo button on the side bar you can get a free email account there.)

One thing that has made Black Friday more enjoyable is saving gift cards to maximize the buys.  I've done this just by chance in the past.  I won a $300 gift card to Best Buy from Bausch & Lomb two years ago which helped me to get a great on-line deal for my laptop almost free! (Also included bag, printer, mouse, and antivirus software great deal!)   Last year we saved a few of our gift cards from our wedding which was in August, to score tons of high item things like a nice winter jacket, nice duffel bags etc. 

So that is one of the reasons why I'm posting this now as well.  I won't have any perchance gift cards this year, however I'm trying to increase my cash flow and gather some on the side!  How? By using the websites that pay you either in gift cards, paypal or check to take surveys, review products, make purchases etc.  I have tons of them on the side like Youdata, Inbox, Vindale, Swagbucks, cashbaq, mypoints, so on and so on.  So if you think you won't have enough to spend on Black Friday think about signing up for some of these sites to increase your cash flow.  You cannot make a part-time job out of it but if you get a $40 gift card here and a $10 there, that is $50 that you have to spend with minimal effort to get them.
