Thanks for the list Gary ! Some deals are great while some are so-so. Maybe Monday will be better 🙂
Cheers. yeah, nothing crazy so far yet!
Underwhelming.
Seems to be the same recycled discounts over and over.
YAWN
Nothing at Apple? Surprising?
They stopped Black Friday sales last year. They will match deals from local merchants.
Who had the 32 GB Wifi iPad Mini 2 for 349?
Staples
Strange – says 379 for me… Want to get something for my wife… Wondering if I should get the Mini 2 @ 32 GB or the Mini 4 @ 16 GB. Its for work (email and web). We already have the Air 2.
Staples’ website lists it for $349

If you’re used to Touch ID…then the Mini 4 is calling your name.
Any news if Apple Stores have any kind of sale? Gift cards, or whatever?

I saw that Best Buy has Beats Studio Wireless for $299 this weekend. Does this mean I can walk into an Apple Store and get them to match that price?
I’m not sure if it applies to beats, although I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t. You can try, but their policy is the competition has to be local and have the product in stock. They will even call to confirm it is in stock.
Hey Gary, D-Brand Skins, a Canadian company has 30% off site wide today. Just a FYI.
Retailers selling unlocked iphones other than Apple itself?
I used to love to find iTunes card with 20% off more frequently… buying a 50$ for 40$ was nice…. now… if lucky, you’ll see 10% (50$ for 45$….)… Oh well…
Picked up an Apple TV 4, 64gb for US$149 at Target in the USA. It was 25% off. So even with exchange, and $3 charge to pick it up in the States, it’s not too bad a deal.
Nice. I love shopping in ‘Mericuh!
Just checking on iPod Touch to replace the one stolen from my car. The Source deal is for the 5th generation. After checking specs, the latest 6th version is way better and even a $70 savings in getting the older model doesn’t seem worth it. I’m going to check which model Staples is offering.
Apple refurb had the 5th gen for $209, not sure what’s in stock today though, FYI

i am looking for a macbook pro but not what they are offering. they seem like last years models or newer and not enough ssd or memory. sad… 🙁
IPhone 6 128 gig same price as 64 on Rogers.
i called apple to purchase a macbook on cyber monday and stated to them that i wasn’t happy that they no longer give a discount on black friday/cyber monday, and i was surprised that she said they still do. but they do not tell anybody about it. you have to call in to purchase and they will give you a discount, but you have to come prepared. you need to tell them other retailers that are selling their wares at a discount, and they will match that, or they will give you something else, for free. just a heads up for next year.
