You took that a lot better than I would have. That's some serious BS.

I had a choice of doing nothing or bitching about it and getting either A) arrested (cops were there) or at the very least B) getting sent to the back of the line (somewhere behind the building).

For what it's worth, the Lenovo laptop is a pretty damn nice machine. My wife has already staked claim to it.
 
Got the Toshiba thrive, gateway net book, Samsung plasma - target, and two Toshiba portable hds. Best buy was an absolute nightmare. Never again even though i got some pretty good deals. Target at jantzen beach was the best bf shopping experience I have ever had. Very professional. Thirty people in and then wait twenty seconds then let another thirty in. In and out in ten minutes.

When do you think you will be doing a review on that asus monitor?

I stayed at home but didn't have any free stuff shipped to me lol.
 
Got a new projector.

My old Optoma EZPro 739's bulb was warning me it was soon to cease functioning, and NCIX had the BenQ W1100 on sale for $800.
1024x768 -> 1920x1080 🙂

Went to Memory Express locally and they price beat the NCIX price 🙂
 
Mrs. SSSnail just grabbed herself a Prada clutch along with some other clothing items. Kinda sucks that the Prada store never have sales...
 
Mrs Pizza bought a ton of clothes. Came home, figuring that she could get some of the other items online. They were sold out online, so went back to the store and everything was still in stock in the store that she wanted. Plus, a nice memory foam topper for the bed, and a few other items.

Eucerin Lotion was on sale at Walgreens.
I bought 8 bottles. That will last me a while.

Grocery store had a lot of great sales - gotta remember in years to come that grocery store/drugstore is a great place for bargains the day after Thanksgiving. Sadly, my budget can't handle even a $5.99 stick blender, which I really wanted.

Pumpkin pie was 99 cents. Got one. Would have gotten more, but I'm diabetic.

Also got milk, not on sale.

i didn't get any "free" hardware neither. i am expected to publish a review on each piece that i got.
^_^

Actually, i am pretty backed up. i am going to test my 27" 2nd Generation 120Hz ASUS 27" display this week with Batman AC as soon as i finish a VC review under NDA. However, the big review - HD3D (passive) Viewsonic V3D231 vs. 3D Vision 2 (Asus Light Boost display/new active glasses) is set for late December.

Whoa! I did not know that bigger 120hz displays were coming out. Yay ASUS! Will be very interested to see that review.

My loot is:

Actually it isn't for me, but doing a network upgrade for a huge house with lots of people and was given a fixed budget. The results should be pretty win.
 
got 2 pair of jeans and 2 tshirts and Old Navy, normally $100 for 42.00, also got a ton of soda pop at HyVee for real cheap, and teaser for Cyber Monday, buy 1 get 1 free shoes at Kswiss website, overall a great experience
 
My list:

1. Some cheap Kodak $50 digital cameras as gifts (Wal Mart).
2. Cheap $1 and $2 DVD movies (about 20) for me (mostly) (Wal Mart and Best Buy).
3. Cheap external Seagate HDs (about $50 to $60 /ea) as gifts (Wal Mart and Best Buy and Target).
4. A bunch of cheap flashdrives (PNY) and SDHC (Sandisk) for about $4 or $5 each (4GB) as gifts (Wal Mart and Best Buy).


I went to JCPenney, Sears, Kohl, Old Navy, etc. but did not see anything I like so no purchase from those place.

I already had a new 42" HDTV a few weeks ago from Slickdeal and a laptop so no expensive electronic this year for me.

I bought some MSU gear (on NFL.com - huh?) that was on sale online, got it 2-day shipped for free. Gotta be ready for the game this weekend.
 
My only BF purchase this year - LOTR Extended BRD set for $49.99 at BB. Ordered it online, picked up in store the next day. pretty simple

I did drive by Target after thanksgiving dinner because I wanted to get my mom the 46" Westinghouse tv. But the line was already wrapped around the back. So I just went home and slept
 
By accident, I saved $100 off a macbook pro when my daughters' laptop went to the great bit bucket in the sky.

I sent her off to the Apple Store (she really wanted a mac), not even remembering that they had a sale on.

Drug stores are a great place for bargains everyday.
People really need to start checking CVS, Rite-Aid, and Walgreens ads for deals.
They have to compete with the big guys as well.

For example, I buy Honey Bunches of Oats there when it's on sale for $1.75-$2.00/box.
On a dollar/ounce basis, they are cheaper than those bulk boxes sold at Sam's Club, Costco, and Wal-Mart.
That week it's on sale I buy about 12 boxes or so which lasts me a while until the next sale.

Yes...Honey Bunches of Oats is by far my favorite cereal. No need for me to settle for less when that's available.

Thats good stuff. I gave a small bottle to each of my girlfriends. They are only a buck each and much larger than the one dollar lotions at CVS.

Yup.
That's the only thing that works for me.

Jergens doesn't work for me at all, and I'm neither a baby oil guy nor a Vaseline fanatic so both of those are out of the question for me.
Avon lotion I keep rubbing and rubbing and it takes forever for it to disappear. While it works better than Jergens, it doesn't work as good as Eucerin lotion.
 
Stuff

Some used airsoft stuff (A&K M249, Coyote vest, 3x TM P90 standards & Coyote pouches), then a bunch of $5 blu-rays, a $10 blu-ray, and $10 seasons of Stargate Atlantis.
