Not to say that I'm not happy for RPguy, as thats an awesome deal, I just love how the govt. and media says we're in a "recession" and people are still lining up around the block to get deals on stuff they don't need, or "can't afford". Personally, I am not feeling much of the "crunch" from the economy, and still feel comfortable buying whatever I want, but I am sure there are a lot of people who can't afford to buy those big screens or computers, but they are doing it anyway, because they got a "deal".

I would want to but would focus on taking care of my family, not my Iphone. I bought a new car recently, a Honda Accord, nice car. My friends said "you make good money, you hardly have a mortgage, why not get a benz? I told them when my son's education fund is at 100% in the bank, I will buy a benz, not before.

I got to see lots of hot college women who work at the local Target bending over a lot to unpack boxes.

Best score of the day, imho!

My score was being forced to unload 20+ rubbermaid boxes of Christmas **** from the rafters in the garage only to be told to help put up the lights.

Must find something to smoke after

Or you could not waste your money on crap and work on getting a decent place to live. We have very modest cars clothes and belongings at our house. Our newest car is 6 years old. Our oldets is 15. We bought our home in the lowest crime rate area of San Jose with some of the best schools. I know people who live in crap areas, with escalades and iphones, and amazing tvs.

Its all prioritys. Mine is my children not my percieved appearance.

Bastage!! I only hit it once. But I put it to sleep.

11-27-2009, 08:07 PM

The only 2 places I went this morning was Lowes and Home Depot.

Got a $30 Shop vac and some 1/2 off saw blades. The wife and dogs slept till noon, I was back home by 6:30 am and working in the shop by 7.

I drove by the local Walmart at 6 and there were about 6 cop cars an ambulance and a fire truck in the parking lot. Lights a blaze and a ruckus out front.

You could not pay me to make the turn into that nut house this morning.

We lost our digital camera when we moved so I got a pre-black Friday deal on a Fujifilm 10.2 megapixel with a 2 gb card and case for $80 shipped on Amazon.com (but that was Tuesday so not sure it counts

).

I would really like a small LCD for our bedroom but I'm waiting until they break the $100 barrier.

Same here Scott. I was able to score mine online instead of going to the store so at midnight I got my order in w/3 year warranty for $29. The TV was $248 for the 32 inch and will pick it up next week. Total, I will have the first years warranty and then add an extra 3 years warranty for $29,,,and I got to sleep in all day today.

Thankfully for me, Best Buy put all of its Black Friday deals up for Silver RewardZone members on Wednesday. Heck they even had 3 of the doorbuster sales available so I grabbed 3 Samsung 32in TV's for gifts for the fam as well as a few Blu Ray's for $9 (Wolverine, Reservoir Dogs and The Fountain) and also picked up one of those Nikon Coolpix camera's as a Birthday present for someone. All in all it was a good haul and I didn't have to fight any crowds

I guess frequently spending money at Best Buy does have its advantages occassionally

bvilchez · 11-28-2009, 12:51 AM

Dropped the wife off at Wal-Mart at 5 and I headed off to Home Depot.

Got in line at 5:06 and was the 16th person in line. By the time the store opened at 6 there had to be at LEAST 250 people on line.....for Home Depot!?!?!?!?!?

Well I ended up getting a shop-vac for $20, a 4 burner grill for $179 and a patio heater for $99....and a 10% military discount!!!!!!
