I have created this spreadsheet the past couple of years to help with my Black Friday shopping, I have found it very useful and I hope you will as well. Essentially, it is a spreadsheet that lists all the major Black Friday store ads in a format that can be sorted by store, product, price, etc. Use the drop down arrows at the top of the columns to sort and/or filter the data.
This is a work in progress and more ad information will be added as it becomes available.....
Thanks to all for the offers to help, I really appreciate it.

I know I for one have appreciated this spreadsheet in years past and I was hoping that it would show up again this year. Thanks a ton! Is there a way that people like me could send you a couple bucks through PayPal as a thank you for your time and effort?

Awesome. I also appreciate the effort. If this could be a google spreadsheet, allowing us to subscribe to an rss feed of changes, it would be awesome. If thats too much trouble, I understand though.

thank you. Has to be the easiest way to sort through different deals at different stores and make my decision where to purchase the items on my list.
