Last year select TJ Maxx stores offered an unprecedented $100 off the $499 16GB iPad a week after Black Friday. A few reports are coming in that they’re back at it this year with the iPad 2.
The deal, according to a few tipsters on Twitter, replicates last years deal right down to the $399 price tag, except this year it’s the iPad 2 that is on sale. Last year’s sale seemed more like a publicity stunt than a nationwide TJ Maxx sale due to the limited stock.
Apple offered $41 of the 16GB iPad for their Black Friday sale, Best Buy issued a $45 discount, and perhaps one of the more interesting deals, Meijer, a Walmart like chain in the midwest offered shoppers $80 toward their next in-store purchase. If TJ Maxx does in fact go through with this deal, the lucky few who manage to scoop a 16GB iPad 2 for $399 will most likely have scored the best deal of the shopping season for the device.
If you’re in the market for an iPad 2 and a TJ Maxx is within a sane driving distance it won’t hurt to call and see if they are having a $399 door-buster deal on the iPad 2. If they don’t, you’re $400 richer.
