So, another Black Friday is upon us, and people are gearing up for the shopping mayhem. Each year the deals seem to start sooner and sooner and this year is no different, some retailers are already starting to post some deals and I have already caved and bought some running shoes from Wiggle.So what deals can we expect this year from Amazon and other retailers? I will update this post as I see more deals come up, and feel free to let me know of any you find.
