A short list of weekend shopping deals

As we’ve been reporting, retailers aren’t withholding all of their best deals for Black Friday. We scoured various store flyers to check out the latest round of sales on tap for this weekend, and there’s no shortage of bargains. Here’s a smattering of the sales at some big chains:

Sears – Doorbusters 7 a.m. to noon today. Twenty-percent off all Kenmore appliances, 10 percent off all other brands.

Kmart – This weekend’s Better-Than-Black-Friday Sale features a 40 percent discount on outerwear for women and children, as well as sales on electronics like GPS navigators. We found a Garmin Nuvi 205 for $120, a solid buy. Click here to see our latest GPS Ratings.

Bloomingdale’s – Twenty-percent off almost all regular- and sale-priced merchandise for women, men, kids, and home, and 10 percent off of small appliances and men’s electronics.

JR.com – The electronics retailer/e-tailer is featuring special pricing on select digital picture frames, notebook computers, camcorders, digital cameras, and the like this weekend. The deals were pretty good from this well-regarded chain. (For our recent Ratings of electronics chains, click here.) Pricing for the Casio EX-H10 Exilim 12-megapixel digital camera, was $230, well below the prices we found when we tested it.

Kohls – From midnight today (EST) through 4 p.m., online shoppers can save 50 to 60 percent on selected shoes and boots and 50 percent off of the chain’s Apt 9 sportswear line for women. The same deals are available in stores at 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. (local time). Shoppers will also get $10 worth of “Kohl’s cash” for every $50 spent through Sunday.

CompUSA – This weekend’s Early Black Friday deals include a Garmin Nuvi 255W for $150 (we found similar prices from other online merchants), Toshiba 32-in. 720p LCD HD television for $329 (a good price), and the CR-tested Samsung 40-in. LED 120HZ HDTV. At $1,500 the price is at the high end of the range, but drops by to an impressive $1,199 thanks to a special e-mail promo code included in the ad.

Land’s End – Through Nov. 16, the chain is running a family-and-friends event offering 25 percent off regular-priced merchandise along with free shipping.

Toys “R” Us – On Saturday, take an additional 25 percent off any bicycle purchase with online coupon.
