Hey everyone, just wanted to give my helpful Black Friday Tip.

Staples will have:

Sandisk 2GB Ultra Memory Card = $9.99

Sandisk 4GB Ultra Memory Card = $17.99

Doors open at 6 a.m.

Got my info from www.blackfriday.info. Lots of other good deals posted on that site also.

Thought those were some good deals and I am always looking for some good deals on memory.

If anyone has any other tips lets help each other out save some money!

I heard Apple will have some massive deals on Black Friday, but to the best of my knowledge, they aren't posted yet.

i feel dirty for even uttering the name 'ritz camera' but...

ritz camera three pack 4GB extreme III cards: $50 - $50 mail-in rebate = $0.00!!

(yes i know normally you can get a rebate on "up to three" but the ad reads as i've described above.)

buy.com has a cavalry HD with twin 1 TB drives but not sure about that specific drive.
They have nice prices on flash cards as well (kingston and sandisk)
buydig.com is another good site.
My 2 cents

I'll definitely be checking out Apple. Anybody know of any good deals on a 37 or 42" LCD TV for my studio?

From a "tech guy" (Information Technology teacher, former computer technician) check out www.newegg.com. They have a great selection on external hard drives and the enclosures and drives to build your own. We built one at school last year with 5 500gb hard drives. With RAID 5 it works out to 1.8 terabytes. I store all the school pictures on there along with back up files to several servers. You could make your own monster for 200-400 bucks or buy a manufacture one there. Great service and they back their products.

When does Apple ever have sales? They do clearance when they get new product in I guess. Their numbers are amazingly still up, I would be surprised to see them have sales on Mac equipment. Perhaps iPod as they've all become so redundant.

Yes Newegg is the way to go. Amazon is pretty awesome as well, I order enough and had a rush order one time so I signed up for Amazon Prime, I love my free 2 day shipping. It's 80$ for a year but it's already paid itself off and I don't have to buy $25 worth of stuff. I frequent www.slickdeals.net for stuff on sale and they do a pretty good job.

4GB Sandisk CF Ultra II $30-$15=$15
The rest I dont remember.
Please double check since I put these numbers at 2:30 in the morning (right now).

NewEgg for years! The only other place I'll go is Tiger Direct because I have one here in Raleigh. Newegg's customer service and prices are unbeatable.

I've spent over $300,000 there in the last 6 years. Yes, you read that right. I own a small IT company as well

Great thing, is that I'm the busiest I've been in 5 years with it. Bad thing, is I'm trying to go full time with wedding shooting

any deals on Canon printers? We are adamantly anti-black-friday-shopping people, but I think we might make an exception to get a good printer.
