Thanks for that

--but I liked the extended BF. I probably spent more than ever, getting deals on items that were already on my wish list (TV, kitchenware, furniture, clothing) but needed the impetus of a sale price. I also liked knowing that if I missed one deal, another one on a similar item would come along, so the pressure was less.
It seems bonkers to compare BF this year with previous years, when this year the retailers changed their sales calendar. None of my purchases, for example, were made on BF itself.

I'm changing the way I do this thread for next year. This year, I dropped cross referencing sales prices by category, since there were way too many sales dates. I also dropped quite a few categories I used to track.
Next year, I plan to copy/paste posts 3~5 (Tablets, eReaders, Smart Devices) from the
Tablets, eReaders, Media Players thread and just track those prices. I'll also have a Misc Deals post for other key deals (gift cards, inexpensive phones, etc).
Individual store posts will no longer track prices. They'll still contain everything else (sales dates, links to ad scans, customer service info, major press releases about their plans, etc).
It all boils down to: "hey, here are the sales dates, so look through the ads to see what qualifies for those dates and times".
Anyway, it's still a work in progress.
It's a good thing I'm a major multi-tasker, else I wouldn't have the time to do the Audiobook and Black Friday threads.
