Mind boggling isn't it, all the efforts these retailers make to relieve you of your money.

My own wish list and not necessarily in a particular order.

Tamron 200-500 lens for my EOS-40D
DVD-VHS recorder

other lesser expensive items

Just picked up a Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB Hard Drive for $119.99 Mixed reviews on this one, but it's too cheap to pass up. If the reviews were better I would have bought 2 more

I got mine from here: http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4138742&CatId=139

I was out and about on Black Friday. Lots of folks at the Mission Valley Mall in San Diego, For the couple hours I was there looks like shoppers are giving a second thought about spending this year. Many shoppers rifleing through the clearence sections before going to the full price areas. I didn't buy anything at the mall however I did buy some shirts and jeans for work from the www.casualmalexl.com website.
It was 2 for the price of one plus free shipping.

Lots of good deals are still out there. Just got back from shopping again today. And also just got done loading up my 1.5 TB drive It's too cool I put in a SATA removable rack and it works great. My ASUS A7N8X-E main board does not support it, but when Windows XT pro loads, it is detected. I have heard many problems with the firmware and using this drive to run your computer and on RAID setups, so beware. You can read all about it here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148337

Current price as of today (12-6-08) is $129.99 not to bad considering its size.
