Intrepid bargain hunters brave enough to stare down the pushing, shoving crowds that rush and trample fellow shoppers in pursuit of low-priced stereos, appliances, toys and televisions now have a range of high-tech tools to help them outsmart the competition.
Black Friday, there's an app (or two) for that
Courtesy of dealnews.com, you can scout out retail gold with the cleverly titled Black Friday App. "Everyone knows that Black Friday is a great day to get amazing deals," the ad copy reads. "With the dealnews Black Friday App, you can view retailer 'leaked' and confirmed ads, and browse all deals in one place."
But the stores aren't waiting for companies like dealnews.com to notice them and feature their Black Friday deals. Many, like Best Buy and Target, will advertise their own special sales directly to iPhone as well as Android users on their very own apps.
Websites galore
While online shopping has cannibalized sales at retail stores, the Web still remains a useful tool for those who want to be a part of the madness in person. To that end, sites like blackfriday.info, bfads.net, theblackfriday.com and blackfriday.gottadeal.com can all help you scout out the best price and location to buy the latest must-have. As iblackfriday.com explains on its website, the idea here is to let customers "view the 2010 black Friday ads weeks in advance."
Does all this technology mean that the annual stampede will be any less brutal this year at stores like Walmart and Toys R Us, where the inevitable brawl seems to break out? Don't bet on it.
