Are you ready for Christmas Shopping?

Sears will apparently be out with a "Black Friday" ad as early as next week!  Really!  The 16 page "Black Friday" flyer reportedly offers 158 special deals.  In the CE category, Sears says it will discount the following items on October 29 and 30:

Vivitar X029, 10 Megapixel Optical Zoom Camera -- $49
RCA 40-Inch, 1080p LCD HDTV -- $499
PlayStation 3 160GB Entertainment System -- $299
Nintendo Wii Bundle, including Wii Sports and Motion Plus -- $199

Critics though are saying the ad is little more than their normal ad with the title "Black Friday."  Either way, I'm ready to take a peek... and start thinking about holiday shopping.

Meanwhile, an ad for "Black Friday" was also leaked from Half Price Books.Of course, it wasn’t so much as a leak as it was a post on their Facebook page that told everybody in the world what their Black Friday plans were. The Half Price Books Black Friday ad says that shoppers will get 20% off as well as a free calendar with a $30 purchase. In addition, shoppers who purchase gift cards will receive even more coupons.
