All the Black Friday Specials in One Handy Spreadsheet

You know you're gonna do it. Don't lie. You're gonna be there in the dark, in the cold, along with all your friends and neighbors standing in line like a dope at 4:50am outside some Big Box store or a mall waiting for some kid to unlock the door so you can buy a $300 plasma tv or a $5 dvd player.
It's America and no matter how cool we think we are, we're suckers for great deals, and some of the best ones happen on Black Friday.
Thanks to the kids at Digg who today shined their light on a website that painstakingly compiled all the major ads, you can figure out where you are gonna be on Friday morning.
DimeToSave.com has put together an Excel spreadsheet for your ass of all the amazing deals of all the Chinese goods that you will wrap up and put under your tree. And for those of you who hate MS Office, they even stoked you with an HTML version that's just as searchable. Or if you prefer Google Docs - the nerds have hooked you up in that format too.
LAist will be out in the dark too, just like we were last year, but instead of buying stuff we will be taking pictures of you and interviewing folks who wait all night to buy stuff. Truth of the matter, we're all beautiful losers, just in different ways. Sigh.

which has been a beautiful and failure, but i appreciate where their heart is at
but still the only thing that has bombed bigger than "buy nothing day" is the bush administration.
Actually DimeToSave.com didn't appear to have anything to do with the creation of that BF Excel spreadsheet. The orign of the document and other versions is from akelnat of both the FatWallet & SlickDeals forums.

That's why it mentions those 2 communities in the spreadsheet.
