The Lighting deals on amazon will they say lighting? Also, have they already started? If not, when does it suppose to start?
They’ve started the week of Thanksgiving, you should see a link to their Black Friday specials on the homepage and they will say lightning deals.

Hello Natt. Thanks for putting this together. As we all know, Apple products never go on sale unless its on BF. Who’s got the best deal on the iPad 2 or iPad 3? Thanks in advance.
Prices on iPads generally never go down, but “deals” come in forms of getting gift cards back for the retailer. For example, Walmart has an iPad 2 for sale and you’ll get a $75 gift card to use for next Walmart visits.
I’m willing to bet that Apple will have some products on sale for Black Friday. The most I have ever seen them discount though is 5%. Walmart and Target might have the iPad on sale, but again you are still going to get 5% tops off on them.
Thanks
I’ve been all over the sears website and I see no TV deal even as remotely good as the 50″ Toshiba 50L2200U LED HDTV: $300 from $800. Where is this info coming from?
Most likely leaked ads. You will have to wait until their sale starts.

Click “View Black Friday Ad” and on page 64, you’ll find the confirmed sale.
Thanks Natt. Wow they buried this one deep. Note that they only promise 4 units per store at this price.
Indeed… you’ll probably have to line up way before dinner time in hopes of getting your hands on one.
Do you have “strangers” at your house? Have fun. Love to all.
I’m going to get the 3ds bundle
