Walmart

Walmart is ready to go with special deals on Friday, Nov. 27 from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. Their top-line ad is for LCD TVs, the lowest priced ones at $248 and there are laptops for as low at $198, so you better get a bigger stocking than usual. Walmart's ad is also peppered with low-priced electronics from GPS units to digital cameras to digital photo frames to tools. There will also be "100 toys for $10," including in-demand items like Barbie dolls and action figures.

Walmart is busily implementing safety precautions after last year, when a store employee was trampled to death in Valley Stream, N.Y. This will include keeping most stores open for 24 hours, beginning Thanksgiving through the end of the following day. Sales will begin at 5 a.m. on Black Friday, but lining up and rushing the doors won't be part of this year's festivities.

Win the contest in your area, and the store will issue you a $1,000 gift card, send a limo to your house before dawn on Black Friday and grant you early access to the goods.
