Final Boarding Call

Admittedly, Black Friday and Cyber Monday seem more like gimmicks to me these days than actual bargains — at least this article does not include supposed “deals” which resemble some warehouse sale on items no one wants, like some other weblogs seem to want to push — but there are some gems of deals within these sales…

…and if I have missed any deals which you believe should be included in this article, please let me know.

If you do not see the company with whom you prefer to do business in this article, please check the Marketplace of The Gate With Brian Cohen. Chances are those companies may have launched sales after this article was already published.

Not every deal included in this article has an affiliate link attached to it. I am more interested in you saving money than I am in earning money.

As always, thank you.
