OK so for those who braved black Friday and the mob of crazies this thread is for you. So what deals did you get and were you pleased or disappointed? Did you get that one item you were looking for?

I love black Friday and this is the first time in a long time that I was not able to go out. However I was up at 5am to get the one thing I was looking for. I was stuck ordering mine online. I will grab more on Cyber Monday but most major stores also had items go on sale online the same time the stores opened. I was glad I could shop but it wasn't the fun that being one of the crazies is. Now don't get me wrong I am heading out in a few but I missed the 5am crowd.

Here was the one item I wanted

Sony Speaker Dock/Clock Radio for iPod Bundle (iPod not included)

that wasn't the only thing I got but the one thing I was looking for.

So what did everyone get?

I left the house at noon yesterday and left for Best BuyBest Buy. No, I wasn't the first person... The first few people got there at 6AM Thanksgiving day. It was COLD last night, so that was the only downer. I did get to meet some really awesome people while I waited.

I got a new camera, lens, and bag as part of a combo. I got a Tomtom. A bluetooth headset. And a few camera memory chips. Overall, a very successful trip. Best BuyBest Buy was perfectly setup, and there was no pushing or shoving. The workers were really nice, and helped me as I ran from one part of the store to the other trying to get everything on my list.

Just so you know, the family in front of me (4 of them) were all getting $197 laptops, and the dad was going to sell them back online for a huge profit. Has anyone ever gotten a deal like that before where you bought just to sell back?

Remember when the wii's came out for the first time? I was one of those crazy parents that camped to get one for their kids. Like you I met some great ppl. The lady next to me that is what she did. She was a stay at home mom and she would do that every year buy the hot gift and then ebay it. She told me she made a ton. I want to say I paid something like $249. and they were selling on ebay for close to $600. that year.

Great deals James! I hope you dont get sick.

Re: I Survived Black Friday

OK so I did get out today to shop. Originally I was planning on shopping with my mom but noooooooooo the hubby and kids wanted to go. OK rule number one don't take someone shopping who really doesn't like to shop on Black Friday. Every store he complained that there were to many ppl. My kids were not so thrilled at it either but they liked the sales. They did have some fun in Walmart. With all of those folks shopping there were bound to be a few odd ones. Yep they were armed with their cell phone camera and well we sent to submissions to peopleofwalmart.com. Lets just say that really large women should not wear cow print - its just not a good look. the second pic well we found Wyatt Earp was at Walmart or atleast his twin was.
