Black Friday Schmiday. The deals have already begun without the hubbub on Friday. I'll point out a few and you can add any of your own.
Saks Off Fifth outlet on Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis starts its 40 percent off EVERYTHING today (Tuesday) through noon on Black Friday. When I called to ask about exceptions, I got a surprising answer---Extraordinary Value items and clearance are discounted 50 percent, not 40. Even sunglasses, shoes, beauty products and jewelry get the discount as well as the clothes for women, men and kids. Call 612-333-7200 for details.
A great gift for anyone who has a car is a detail. Today's daily deal on Eversave is $109 for the platinum service, regularly $200. The price is a little higher than most daily deals for interior and exterior detailing, but this one at Steve's Automotive also includes an engine clean and degreaser. All cars are detailed in White Bear Lake but can be dropped off in Rosemount, Bloomington, Eagan or Cottage Grove. Note: If you have a larger venicle, you may be charged an additional $15 to $25.
