We have not always been a family that shops on Black Friday. We would usually go shopping on the weekend after and get all of the left over deals. However, last year there was a deal on laptops that we just couldn’t pass up. My daughter needed a laptop for school and I needed one for blogging so she and Jay went Black Friday shopping and each snagged one of the laptops. Last year was our first experience shopping on Black Friday and we plan to try it again this year.
Planning Out Our Buys For Black Friday Shopping
I really need a new camera for the blog – a DSLR camera. My smart phone takes decent pictures, but it’s really time to step up my game so that you guys can see some awesomesauce pics on this blog. Canon or Nikon, that is the question. I am not sure which is best, but both of these camera brands seem to be talked about among my fellow bloggers often. So, my husband and I have been looking through Shopular to see what deals we can find so that we can prepare.
Just browsing through the Shopular app this afternoon we found 3 options that seem nice to me: 1 each from Walmart {Nikon D3200 Bundle for $499}, Best Buy {Canon Recel T3i Bundle for $499} and Target {Nikon D3200 Bundle for $496}. I don’t know enough about each camera to know which is best, but I do hear a lot of good talk about each.
I am still trying to figure out how we are going to plan the shopping and which place is better to go to actually have a good chance at getting one of these cameras. If you have a lot of experience with Black Friday shopping, do you have any tips that you would like to share to help a girl out? Also, perhaps some of you can weigh in on which deal is better and why.

This is a great app! It took me a while to find a DSLR camera. I bought my Nikon from Best Buy. There are so many great deals out there nowadays. This app is nice! I plan on using it soon.
It sounds like you have a good plan! Good luck on Black Friday :)
Good luck!!!! You're a smart chica!

There are definitely some awesome deals out there this year. I have a D5200 and absolutely adore it, but I paid more than any of those prices for it.
Hey, but at least you didn't have to fight the Black Friday crowd, right? :D
Good luck to you! I'm one of those folks who hibernates on Black Friday, so I don't have any tips. I know some people camp out overnight to get in there early... I think it's too cold to do that (I'm a wimp). ;)
I want to add a DSLR Camera to my wish list! I would personally go with the Canon Recel T3i Bundle because of recommendations. I will have to check out the Shopular app
Nice cameras. I have that on my want list.
DSLRs are awesome, but take some practice. I actually took a photography class recently.
I think our community college offers one. Did you find that yours was helpful?
I am thinking of getting a new camera, thanks for the notice of sales
Sounds like a great plan. I need a new camera too, but think I will stick to online as I am not to much for those lines.
