		<description><![CDATA[A list of the 10 worst and weirdest Black Friday 2009 deals.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-180" title="thumbs-down" src="http://blog.blackfriday2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/thumbs-down.gif" alt="thumbs-down" width="160" height="113" />Over the past few weeks, we&#8217;ve seen a lot of Black Friday deals. Some are incredible, some are funny and a few aren&#8217;t deals at all. Here are the 10 worst and weirdest Black Friday 2009 deals. <em><strong>Please note that all pricing listed is what you can expect on Black Friday, not what is currently advertised online or in stores. </strong></em></p>
<p>10. Like to imbibe during the holiday season but hate watery drinks? We found these <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/kitchen/ba37/">Whiskey Stones</a> at Think Geek for just $15.99 (after a $5 off $10 coupon is applied). The stones keep drinks cold and stiff, the way they should be during family gatherings.</p>
<p>9. The <strong>Ruger Semi-Automatic Pistol</strong> is marked down from $399.99 to $249.99 this Black Friday at <a href="http://www.blackfriday2009.com/go/c/64964">Gander Mountain</a>. With a shooting last Black Friday at a California ToysRUs, we&#8217;re not sure if this makes you safer or puts you in even more danger!</p>
<p>8.<a href="http://www.blackfriday2009.com/go/c/66377"> GameStop</a> takes an extra $10-$20 off refurbished gaming systems, making a used PSP just $79.99 (retails new for around $160). This isn&#8217;t a bad deal, but it&#8217;s Black Friday! We&#8217;re going for the big savings on a brand new, under-warranty gaming system!</p>
<p>7. Black Friday is all about mega deals, so we definitely took note of the Mio 4.3&#8243; GPS System for $79.99 at <a href="http://www.blackfriday2009.com/go/c/66013">Radio Shack</a> (normally $149.99), but <a href="http://www.blackfriday2009.com/go/c/66419">Walmart</a> has a similar TomTom 4.3&#8243; GPS System for $89. Sure, it&#8217;s an extra $10, but we&#8217;re willing to pay a bit more for a well-known and trusted brand, especially since the model normally retails for as much as $180.</p>
<p>6. We love <a href="http://www.blackfriday2009.com/go/c/66689">Overstock</a>, but we think it&#8217;s a little odd they didn&#8217;t include pricing in their <a href="http://www.blackfriday2009.com/go/c/66689">Black Friday 2009 ad</a>. The ad is great for giving you an idea of what will be on sale (items include a Wii, camcorders, lots of toys, a Cole Haan woman&#8217;s coat, bedding and even an inversion table), but since most of the competitive doorbuster sales will be going on at stores, we&#8217;re not sure if staying home to see what Overstock&#8217;s pricing will be is worth the time.</p>
<p>5. <em>Update: We&#8217;re sorry to say that we goofed on this one. Target has the <strong>Nikon S203</strong>, not the <strong>S230</strong> as advertised at Walmart. Both cameras are 10MP, however the S230 has a touch screen and a few more operational modes. Either way, if you&#8217;re in the market for a solid digital camera, the <strong>S203 for $88</strong> (retails for as much as $139.99) at Target is a good deal.</em> The <strong>Nikon Coolpix 10mp S230 Digital Camera</strong> popped up in a lot of Black Friday ads this year. Walmart has the camera for $139, but <a href="http://www.blackfriday2009.com/go/c/65723">Target</a> is selling it in two colors for just $88!</p>
<p>4. The <a href="http://www.blackfriday2009.com/go/c/65735">Ace Hardware Black Friday 2009 ad</a> is full of &#8220;deals&#8221; that are actually mail-in rebate offers. We&#8217;re not paying full price for <em>anything </em>on Black Friday, and neither should you.</p>
<p>3. If you&#8217;re on the hunt for a deal on an iPod, you may not have to brave the Black Friday crowds at all. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&amp;tag=brads0e-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;path=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB002L6HDR4">Amazon</a> currently has the newest model of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&amp;tag=brads0e-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;path=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB002L6HDR4">iPod 8GB Nano</a> (5th generation) for $134.99 with free shipping. The same iPod is available on Black Friday at <a href="http://www.blackfriday2009.com/go/c/65723">Target</a> for $145 with a free $15 Target giftcard and at <a href="http://www.blackfriday2009.com/go/c/65935">BestBuy</a> for $149.99. Even considering the free Target giftcard, the free shipping and limited sales tax makes Amazon a better deal. However, Amazon is literally changing prices on certain items by the minute, so act fast to take advantage of this deal!</p>
<p>2. As we <a href="../2009/11/24/apple-is-having-a-black-friday-sale-or-are-they/">mentioned the other day</a>, Apple&#8217;s Black Friday &#8220;<a href="http://www.blackfriday2009.com/go/c/66599">holiday shopping event</a>&#8221; didn&#8217;t make the cut last year for great Black Friday deals. We&#8217;re hoping they&#8217;ll step it up and offer more than free shipping and 5%-10% off select items, but we&#8217;re not counting on it. Give the site a check, but don&#8217;t jump at the first price drop you see. Many retailers like Target, Toys R Us and Amazon will have better pricing and include bonus offers such as gift cards.</p>
<p>1. Perhaps the <strong>worst Black Friday deal</strong> goes to <strong>BestBuy</strong>. <span id=":1au" dir="ltr">BestBuy <a href="http://blog.blackfriday2009.com/2009/11/24/the-best-buy-black-friday-error/">screwed up the price</a> of a popular refrigerator in their ad and then back-tracked &#8211; they won&#8217;t honor the price!</span></p>
