The holidays are fast approaching and everyone is looking for a good deal. Luckily for consumers, retailers are hurting and looking for customers too, which makes it a bargain shopper's dream come true. With only 21 days left until Black Friday some ads have already leaked out and some retailers have decided they won't wait for Black Friday to start luring customers.

This weekend, Wal-Mart is having a pre Black Friday sale  beginning Saturday at 8 a.m.

Deals are popping up like a reported 7" screen portable DVD player , regularly $99 on sale for $24.99 at Toys 'R' Us and $29 at OfficeMax.

Other electronics from televisions to GPS systems are on reportedly going to be on sale for record low prices. Small flat-panel TVs are being listed for just under $200 and several GPS systems are listed for $70 to $100.

With a list in hand and a plan, you can get everything you hope to get for gifts and stay within a reasonable budget as well.

Using sites like TGIblackfriday.com,  Blackfridayds.net,  Blackfriday.org and retailmenot.com  help those who have specific purchases in mind and are looking for the best deals.
