WFTX - A lot of you will be digging out those credit cards for your Black Friday shopping, but here are some items you should skip on if you want to save a few bucks.

1) Toys.  Sure, some will be on sale, but the prices will probably go lower two weeks before Christmas.

2) Game consoles that don't have a bundled item.  Hold off for holiday bundle packages that come with free games.

3) Brand name HD TV's. Third tier TV's will have their best prices on Black Friday, but name brands go on sale in January and February to make way for 2013 stock.

4) And hold off on the latest digital cameras. The prices may be good now, but they will be even better in February thanks to aggressive deals to get them off shelves when the newest models come out.
