Anyone else go to the Frys grand opening this past weekend

Man that place was a mad house, they had some insane deals on all sorts of stuff.

The wife and I left with a new washer and dryer which we've been needing for a long time now anyways and ended up getting the two for about $100 more than just the dryer by itself.

They had some 1080p 37" LCD for $797 which I thought was an amazing deal, if I had the cash I would have got it.

Little other hot deals all over the place also, I picked up the new Mario vs Donkey Kong 2 for the DS lite for $24 (normally $29).

All in all I was probably there for about 4 hours on Saturday between checking everything out and buying the washer & dryer.

I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing that my nearest Fry's is hundreds of miles away. Given the temptation, I'm guessing it's a good thing.

Can't they open a store closer to the midtown area? For me, the new store is as far away as the old one. 🙁

Uhm, do you realize how big a Fry's is? It would be like putting a Super Wal-Mart in Midtown. Sorry, but that real estate is WAY to valuable.

It is for the best. I have one less than two miles away from my house and I am pretty sure it will be the cause of my divorce someday. 😀
