Back in the day, it was customary to buy the newspaper right around Thanksgiving and check out all the ads and circulars to see which store had the best Black Friday deal. But now things are a bit easier, thanks to bargain-hunting website gotadeal.com, a site that specializes in bringing consumers the newest and cheapest deals from major chain stores such as Target, Best Buy, and Walmart, among others.

Recently gotadeal.com launched their Black Friday site, geared towards divulging Black Friday deals before the stores publicize the information themselves. Claiming to have the full Black Friday listing for Target, the site draws attention to Target's $3 coffee and sandwich makers sale, as well as a Westinghouse 32" TV for only $246. Target refused to comment on gotadeal's published list and said that they won't be revealing their official Black Friday deals until Thanksgiving week. [Chicago Sun-Times]
