Halloween is Over, Amazon's Countdown to Black Friday Begins

Now that Halloween is passed and we are into November, Amazon has kicked off their Countdown to Black Friday event with expanded Daily or Lightning Deals available. They are continuing their Lightning Deals on items from the Holiday Toy List. In addition to toys, there are a number of videos on today's deals list.

Disclaimer: I am an Amazon Associate and am compensated for sales through Amazon links. I appreciate your support of my blog by shopping through my links. Please read all terms and conditions of the deal before purchase, they are only summarized here.

The easiest way to take advantage of the Lightning Deals that are part of Countdown to Black Friday Deals is to be an Amazon Prime member so that you receive free 2-day shipping. With the recent increase in the minimum for FREE Super Saver Shipping (to $35 from $25), it is harder to take advantage of Lightning Deals without paying for shipping.

The deals start at 9a with:

• 9a - The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (Blu-ray / DVD + Digital Copy)
• 10a - LeapFrog LeapReader Reading and Writing System, Green
• 10:20a - "Dr Seuss How The Grinch Stole Christmas" - save 57%
• 11a - Estes 1491 Taser Launch Set
• 2p - Uncle Milton Mars in My Room Collectibles
• 3:20p - Despicable Me - save 57%
• 4p - Playmobil Pop Stars Stage
• 5p - Imaginext DC Super Friends Superman Playset
• 6p - K'NEX Angry Birds Christmas Advent Calendar - Amazon Exclusive
• 7p - Neat-Oh! ZipBin Dinosaur Medium Play Set

The deals listings for the Grinch and Despicable Me don't include a link to the product on sale, so your best bet is to find them on th Countdown to Black Friday Deals page.

In addition, to these Lightning Deals, the LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Friends deals that I shared the past few days are still available. They also have:

• up to 39% off Disney Movies
• Up to 50% off Harry Potter Movies
• Up to 63% off DC Superhero Movies & TV
