"Fry's Anniversary Sale Tomorrow (Heads Up, No specific deals)"

yipperzz · May 15, 2003

i did it once and failed once. they usually know that you bought it in a combo cause nobody just buys these ecs boards alone from frys =P

oh yeah and the time i failed they said they would only give me another board without receipt.

QuicknDirty · May 15, 2003

They can prob pull the sale up with the serial number on the board. So your scam won't work. I think they started doing this probably partially for this reason, and because deadbeats were buying new boards then taking their old burnt out ones for the return.

I miss out of them too when I'm slow. Hope they have a good deal on hard drives, missed out on the last best buy deal.

Once they start having a 2500+ bundled with something, then score. Until then, no

Going to try to grab the 5 dollar case and 300watt psu for an extra rig. Hopefully none of you guys will grab the last one. Maybe I should't have said that

i meant if you lived in a non-urban area (unlike san diego) you got a better chance at scoring deals.

Well, i went this morning and there was no hotdogs or coke. stupid fry's. thats all i went there for. now all i have is this stupid 120gig hd, a bunch of memory, surge protector and matrix dvd. dude, they know how to suck you in. they offer .25 hotdogs and coke and sell you a plasma refrigirator combo.

Aiyana · May 16, 2003

Here is a stupid question for you. When the hell is the sale?

In the San Diego advert I didn't see any specific day for the sale listed (although I assume it is saturday). Then every item listed had a big "one day only" box next to it. Then at the bottom of the page it said all prices are good from today through next friday.

What the f---?!?!?!?

worcmai · May 16, 2003

im gonna go to the phoenix frys later today to check out any deals...

As usual .. limit 1 per customer, limited stock no rainchecks

Yesterday (May 14th) Fry's had an Anniversary Sale-A-Bration ad in the LA Times (back page of the Business section). LA Times website doesn't have their ad up anymore.

Here's a couple of the things people might be interested in.

99 cents/six pack of coke/sprite/diet coke- limit eight 6 packs per person

25 cents for a coke & hot dog

MOBO-CPU Combo- bare 2.4 P4 533MHz w/ECS P4VXASD2+ $159.99 (#3577844)

MOBO-CPU Combo- bare Athlon XP 2400+w/ECS K7S5A Pro $119.99 (#3618925)

Columbia FRS Radio 2-pack FAR ($25-$25 MIR) (#3577804)

* I also listed the #XXXXXXXX listed in the ad. Can anyone else in another city confirm if they have the same #'s in their ad? Or perhaps someone can ask a salesman to check the system to see if these combo/sale items are effective in other areas even if they aren't advertised.

I am soooooo sorry for not looking into when these sales were to take place. I went back and looked at the ad and the effective dates were for Tuesday and Wednesday ONLY (14th &15th). The 25 cent Hot Dog & Coke combo are for Saturday 11am-3pm (May 17th). Sorry to anyone who wasted a trip. Remember this ad was from the LA Times, so it's for LA area stores.

There was another ad today in the LA Times. This time the ad is a 4 page insert. This is for the following LA area stores= Burbank, Fountain Valley, Woodland Hills, Manhattan Beach, Anaheim, and City of Industry. You can see the ad online here: LA TImes ads online. Click on the Technology link.

TODAY (5/16) ONLY:

MOBO-CPU Combo: BARE AMD xp2000+ w/ ECS K7S5A Pro= $69.99 (#3631785)
MOBO-CPU Combo: RETAIL 2.4GHz Intel P4 533FSB w/Soyo SY-P4X400 Dragon Lite= $219.99 (#3646905)

WD 120GB 7200rpm 8MB= $149.99-$80.00 WD MIR= $69.99 AMIR (#3306472)

7 feet of CAT 5 w/RJ45's on both ends= 49 cents (#3585064)

You're so right. They could have done much better. Nonetheless, there are a few good deals if you poke around.

I hit the Burbank store at 9:30. Stock seemed pentiful although the power supplies (350W for $2.99 after $27 MIR) were going fast. (I grabbed one myself.)

Two other items that caught my eye:

Garrity 2AA Flashlight w/Multi-Tool = $6.99. In the land of earthquakes, there's no such thing as "too many flashlights." This comes packaged with batteries and a pouch with belt loop for the multi-tool.

25 Piece Tri-Fold Tool Set = $2.99. Even if you already have every tool in the kit this is definitely a hot deal. (Grab a couple of these and stick them in the closet. Two less Christmas presents to worry about.)

SarcasticDwarf · May 16, 2003

the .25 hot dog and coke (limit three) runs from 11am to 3pm

The $4.99 case and power supply (which I bought) is getting low on stock, so get your hiney into the store

The 50" HDTV for $999 is a Philips model# 50pp9202

happy now?

lytri · May 16, 2003

Man I wish I lived by a Fry's (or that they moved out to NYC, hehe). I want a $.25 coke and hot dog!

Okey Dokey. I got my calendar out, and I can't find "today" on it anywhere! Now what should I do?

PS: It says "One Day Only" Not "Today Only", and the fine print still says prices good through next week.
