If you're planning on shopping during the Black Friday sales this year (the day - or night - after Thanksgiving), get a head start on your planning with these sites.

:: DealTaker.com Black Friday 2009

:: Master Index of Black Friday Ads 2009 at SlickDeals.net and Official Black Friday 2009 Deals & Ad List & Discussion Thread at SlickDeals.net

:: Black Friday 2009 Ads posted & listed at HotCouponWorld.com

If you're more like me and prefer to avoid the crazy crowds and shopping during the wee hours of the night, you can get ready for Cyber Monday (11/30/09) this year with these sites; they don't have too much information yet but I would definitely bookmark them and check throughout the month:

:: DealTaker.com Cyber Monday 2009

And while Black Friday is traditionally an in-store event for retailers, you'll see online deals on Black Friday as well.

Don't forget when you shop online to shop through a rebate site that pays YOU a percentage back when you shop online.

ShopAtHome ($5.00 bonus for new members)

Ebates ($5.00 bonus for new members)

Cashbaq ($5.00 bonus for new members)

Mr. Rebates ($5.00 bonus for new members)

Big Crumbs

Because all of the above sites offer varying percentages back at the same stores, it's a good idea to join all of them. Then when you're getting ready to do any transactions online (all the time, not just for Cyber Monday), you can search to see which site will rebate you the highest percentage.
