Amazon.Com has a countdown to Black Friday deals special running right now.

Black Friday 2012 is three weeks away, but many shoppers are already planning their holiday shopping list and looking for early bargains.

Can you save now?

Many traditional retail stores are already leaking some of the Black Friday specials and we have a list here of some of the stores and the deals available.

Amazon.Com has a countdown event to Black Friday and promises day after Thanksgiving like deals, with low prices and sales on electronics, video games, DVDs, and more.

The tease online from Amazon:

"Black Friday isn't until the day after Thanksgiving…(and) we're counting down to Black Friday Deals Week with, yes, even more deals, all day, every day."

Amazon has their best prices here and the page updates so check back often.

The best way to take advantage of Black Friday special pricing (and even some of the sales now) is to have a plan of what you wish to buy this year and be ready to search online for the best price.

Make a note of that price, then decide how much you want to pay.

Make a list of the items and be ready to purchase as many of the online specials have outstanding prices where you can save big money, but they also often come with limited quantities and many times once they are gone and sold out, that ends the deal.
