Eve Tahmincioglu talks Black Friday deals in live chat

Eve Tahmincioglu, our resident "Deal of the Day" expert who's been covering Black Friday for 10 years, joined us for a live Web chat Tuesday afternoon.


 

Here are two of her answers and a complete archive:

Question from Bernice: I'm on a fixed income. What type of gift gives me the biggest bang for the buck?

Response from Eve Tahmincioglu: I love giving people food gifts, such as baskets of pasta and a fancy sauce or chocolates. Many of the big retailers -- including T.J.Maxx and Macy's -- sell fancy foods. You can buy a couple of items, put them in a basket and when your friends and family eat the gifts they'll think of you. You can even add your own yummy creations to the mix.

Question from Chuck: What is the best website you know of to view and find the best Black Friday deals?

Eve Tahmincioglu: It depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for electronics, Gizmodo is one of my favorite sources. They just released their Black Friday sneak peak. Some great general-deal sites include Consumer World and BFads.net.
