As you sit there, basking in a tryptophan daze or pumpkin-pie induced coma, are you thinking about all the wonderful things for which you are thankful this time of the year? Or, are you secretly plotting your Black Friday plan of attack for all your holiday gifts?

If it's the latter, there are a few tools you might want to add to your holiday shopping arsenal. Slickdeals.net will fill you in on how many special deals are at a variety of stores.

Another helping hand comes from The Invisible Hand. Download this free (Firefox-only) software and while you're shopping online, it will be searching out better deals from other retailers. It doesn't have each and every online store in the world, but it does have a wide selection. It looks for lower prices as you're shopping, and it even seeks out prices when you google a product. Get it at GetInvisibleHand.com

The easiest for most folks is to just head over to the Black Friday deals on Facebook; just click here. Twitter more your speed? Click here for your Twitter Black Friday updates from the Shopping Blog.

Or, you can simply stay home and enjoy the company of friends and family. That's my plan. Happy Thanksgiving!
