Free Shipping! (sometimes)

With "Black Friday" quickly approaching many companies such Best Buy, JC Penny, Wal-Mart, and Sears are advertising heavily for "FREE SHIPPING" in attempt to lure customers away from stores.
BUYER BE WARE! An article I read this week talks about the fine print behind the large banners that pop up on your screen. Apparently most of these free shipping deals have a catch...In the case of Best Buy and Wal-Mart, the free shipping only applies to a very limited amount of products.  Things like computers and cameras are not included in Best Buys "free shipping" offer.
However, there are still good deals out there, but as the consumer you need to be aware of the fact that not all products are included in the special offer.
Keep an eye on the fine print, and enjoy the shopping season!
