Well this morning was mostly a waste.

[Oneslowz28]

I woke up at 2:30am and headed to walmart around 3:30 and stood in line inside the store to get a TV they had advertised. I was the 11th person in the line and they ran out 3 people before me. So I then went to get one of the GPS they had advertised and found out there was a line about half a mile long for it. So I grabbed a few of the 4gb thumb drives they had, some clothes for my nephew and a new shop vac. Left there and headed to BestBuy for their big thing and arrived 15 min after they opened the doors and they had sold all the door buster stuff so I left and went to harbor freight. They had a few things on sale but nothing like last year and the one thing I wanted, an air brush compressor, they were out of. I picked up some heat shrink, zip ties and a stainless steel hamburger patty press. Left there and went to a clothing store in the mall and their sale turned out to be normal priced clothes just advertised as a sale. So at that point I left and headed home.

Sucked that I didn't get what I wanted but on the good side, my visa bill will be smaller.

I got off work at 5am, stopped by the house and scooped up the wifey then headed to frys electronics to see what they had goin on, specifically on hard drives. We got there and it was in fact a zoo, and when we went in one of the twelve greeters working actually said to us, "don't run." Wtf? couldn't find anything that I wanted that was on any fabulous sale, so just out of curiousity we wondered the store to see what sales they had. To be honest, I wasn't impressed. When one of the workers asked me if I needed any help finding anything, I came sooo close to saying, "Yeah, I can't seem to find any of the sales worth running for...."
So then we headed to bestbuy. (which, btw, all the same hard drives were 30-40 bucks more. I said mebbe they should have a huge sale and knock them down to the same prices as Frys.) To be fair, I did see a couple good prices on tvs, and blurays for 15 bucks, but I swear I did not see anything worth waiting in a line that wrapped around the store. Again while I was there I almost asked an employee where all the "fantastic" sales were. Meh, I was definitely not impressed but I was very very uplifted by how many people I saw buying lots of stuff. My job depends on the economy, so if spending is up, I still have a job.

This year in general sucked. I couldn't find anything worth camping for.

If you are looking for a hard drive, newegg still has 2tb drives for $140. That's a fantastic deal. I almost got one, but . . .

My wife and I went to Kohls. They opened at 4, we got there at 3:50 (no way I'm camping). We were going to get a Kitchenaid artisan mixer. It was advertised at $299, with $30 mail in rebate and 15% off (which is $45). At the end of it all the total would be $225. This is a pretty good deal as long as they had a pink one.

Well, we got to the Kitchenaids and some girl had her hands on the only pink one. Good thing was she didn't want it. I got it from her and my wife and I went to the front to check out. The girl scanned it and it came up as $169. We got a calendar for my wife's grandma as well so the total after tax was $190. We got $30 Kohl's cash as well and we'll make sure that Kitchenaid donates $50 to the komen foundation.

We got some other decent deals, but that was the best one. $350 mixer (that you can find for $300 any day of the year) for $140. Nice!!!!!!

I don't get it. It amazes me that people do this every year. I suppose it's a matter of priorities, but my time (not to mention my sanity) are worth one hell of a lot more than my money. I'll make more money. The time is gone for good.

I'd much rather pay full price for whatever it is I want. In fact, I'll pay shipping and wait for it to show up at my house.

I looked through ads and didn't find anything worth going for. I stayed at home this year

Dude, get a regular compressor for the airbrush. I have a Harbor Freight 3 gallon. Not only does it drive my brush, but also a few extra air tools. It's great being able to blow up tires right here at home and not have to go to the gas station and pay.

I didn't go shopping on Black Friday this year even though I could use a few things due to my lack of money, lol. I doubt anybody would be selling the $800 Wacom tablet I'll eventually need for school anyways.

Who's ready to hear the same music played over and over again relentlessly for the next month or so? Not me!

[Liquid_Scope_99]

It does suck how the big stores only get a few of the items they advertise
