Spend $20 at Old Navy on Black Friday, Get Lego Rock Band!

GeekSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:00:53 -0800

The Black Friday fun has just begun! To get the ball rolling, I've just learned that when you spend $20 on Nov. 27 at Old Navy stores across the country, you'll get a free copy of Lego Rock Band (retail value is $44)!

With featured songs like "Song 2," "Kung Foo Fighting," "The Final Countdown," and Pink's "So What," it's worth spending the 20 bucks, just to get the game. Supplies are limited, so be sure to hit up your local Old Navy store in good time on Black Friday.

Oh, and you've still got one day left to get in on the buy two Wii games, get one free deal at Target!

iPhone App You Need Now: Black Friday

GeekSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:05:02 -0800

In case you missed it, it's November, which means Thanksgiving is right around the corner, Christmas will soon arrive and before you can shout "Happy New Year," it'll be 2010. Not to put the pressure on you, but November doesn't just mean turkey and stuffing - it means Black Friday. I predict that this year, good deals and sales will be more important than ever to get people in the stores to shop for gifts, so be on top of it all with the Dealnews Black Friday app.

This app is great because it gives you details on the best sales around right now, as well as confirmed and leaked Black Friday deals from all across the web and on store shelves. Plus, it even counts down the days until November 27 so you know exactly how long you have to plan your in-store shopping strategy. Keeping with the penny-pinching theme, the Black Friday app is totally free.
