Black Friday Deals

BUFFALO, NY - From "Black Friday" to crazy camping deals, there sure is a lot to get to today.

Target has launched a so-called "Black Friday" sale today in July.

In my personal opinion, I really resent when stores call sales that don't occur on the day after Thanksgiving "Black Friday sales."

Black Friday sales are supposed to be store-wide, absolutely insane savings.

Today, there are a handful of great deals at Target, but nothing on par with what we'll see on Black Friday.

Check out the deals in the toys, home living, 20 percent off on a Kitchen-Aid Mixer (which is rare), the entertainment and a big gaming deal.

The TV deals are lame (in my opinion) as the Philips and Vizio are not considered the best TVs on the market and there will be much better deals October through November on higher-end models.

The deal on the Kodak EasyShare camera at 40 percent off is decent, but I will find better deals on some newer cameras from brands like Canon and much lower prices on a 14MP camera from Olympus in the coming months.

Now on to camping.

These deals today are all amazing, timely and perfect to enjoy the rest of your summer camping in our beautiful state.

Here's what I found (again, each link is embedded with a coupon so just click and save).

A big thanks as always to my savings confidant Roger for all the insider information.

Up to 70 percent off all camping equipment 
• I almost didn't include this one as you can only see a few discounts shown on the page, but there are 2,292 camping products and I couldn't resist digging a little deeper. I had to sign in and create an account, but then I saw that products I placed in the checkout were getting the savings I was expecting.
• It's a little frustrating not to know what discount you'll be getting, but there are definitely savings to be made. As I say, the product range is amazing.
