Excel Spreadsheet - BF Filtered Ads - BF2008 Buying Guide

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.

Thanks for the Excel, you did a wonderful job. Is this the complete or are you going to update more?

Thanks Buddy

Thx, it is useful for all.

Thanks for the filtering!

As a suggestion, could the OP import the xls into google spreadsheet and "Publish it as Web Page" ? It'll be much easier for us to view.
