You might have noticed in the last week that a small handful of forward-thinking stores and websites have offered discounts on products to kick off what some would call the “holiday shopping season.”

As mentioned earlier, I’ve already gotten almost all my shopping done by going online. And while I can’t say exactly what I purchased (for some reason my family actually reads this site — and still hasn’t disowned me) without spoiling the holidays.

But there must be at least a few of you who can openly brag about the best deal you’ve gotten in the last few days, whether it’s because none of the gift recipients will recognize your commenter name or because you shopped for yourself, holidays be damned.

So please, people of Consumerist, boast away in the comments!
