For those that still don’t have an iPhone and want to apps like this for next year, SALE.com is giving away 2 new iPhones – one on Black Friday and one on Cyber Monday. I don’t like signing up for newsletters, so I just keep an eye out on http://www.sale.com/stores/apple-sale for the big Apple Black Friday reveal. I’m crossing my fingers for a deal on a new MBP.

Thank you for sharing, I did not even know these existed. I just signed up on BlackFriday.info to get the ads I want emailed to me early, but I will have to download these apps now too. My Black Friday is going to be properly planned and executed – so excited!
