I've actually been thinking a lot about Amazon this year. The story of its growth in the last 17 years can only be compared to the thunderous rise of Walmart. And in some ways, the curve is steeper: the million-title-bookseller turned world's-largest-retailer hit the $50 billion sales mark in half the time it took Walmart. As far as online sales go, Amazon has laid waste to a list of successively higher-caliber competitors. Playing full-court with Barnes & Noble to Walmart all the way to Apple, Amazon just keeps outgrowing its labels: bookseller, e-tailer and now tech company?

And, like last year, Amazon lures millions of shoppers with respite from holiday stampedes and looted shelves. They will officially match the Black Friday doorbuster prices of every major retailer. And unlike confusing sale-exclusives, Amazon will always honor their own coupons. You can grab some of Amazon's best here: http://frugaldad.com/amazon-coupons/
WELCOME TO EARF.
will, what are you talking about
When I went to Amazon’s website, their policy stated that they would not price match Black Friday doorbusters. Could you post a link to the policy that you are saying does? Thanks

I’m not really sure what #6 is saying. Are you saying there are 60-70 million active amazon users? I thought you said they serve 137 million customers a week? What’s the difference between user and customer? Just a littl clarification please.
I love Amazon, and it’s my first stop for just about any purchase! I do have a question regarding the Black Friday ad match. I am looking to get my daughter an Xbox 360 for xmas, and I see Meijer is going to have the 4G with Kinect for $199. Not sure if that is something Amazon will match, and if they do, do you have to enter a coupon code to get it at that price, or will they be adjusting prices?
