In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. With Black 'Friday' starting Monday this year and running through Cyber Monday, we look at a few unusual shopping resources with links to their deals. As always, shopping with our affiliates helps support this site.
We'll be updating this page throughout the week (the date above reflects the last update) as more deals come in. And we'll put a link in our daily Horn column to make it easy to return here.
