Nov 02, 2005 -- Deals for holiday shopping leaked on Web
Have you heard of the Web site, Gottadeal.com? Its one of the many sites that lists the sales retailers are having on Black Friday, the Friday after Thanksgiving. Traditionally, its the biggest shopping day of the year, and getting the deals is a huge coo for the Web sites. Gottadeal.com now has deals listed for about a half a dozen retailers, including WalMart, Costco and others. But, more and more, the week between Christmas and New Years is getting bigger for shopping because of gift cards. So, a leak of deals is a huge problem for retailers. The retailers try to guard their information because once it gets out the other retailers can undercut them. The WalMart leak is probably the biggest because the company is going to have great deals. They include a computer with built-in wireless access for $398 and tons of items will cost less than $5. In order to get the deals, youll have to be at the stores very early in the morning. The good news is that the information just feeds on itself because each company will try to one-up the next. Just dont get caught up in the frenzy and buy something you dont need.
