Did all my shopping at Costco. Went to Costco around 9:30am to buy the $999 42" Vizio plasma for my bedroom. No lines and no wait. Came back home and relaxed and ordered the $599 32" Spectre LCD TV from Costco online as a present for my mom. Enjoyed the leftovers and watched couple movies on my new TV.

I was going to camp Best Buy but i went there at 2AM and the line was litterally a mile long. Thats insane. It was much more insane than ps3/wii. Luckly i had plan C. So i scored five 22" Widescreen LCDs @ $200 OTD a piece.

So what's your plan C? Your prior experience definitely pays off.

 

[CrackRabbit]

Got a C2D E6400 and an MSI 945P mobo at frys for 274, with a MIR for $15
Also scored 2 sets of sheets at Target for cheap.
No extreme camping, but the line to check out at Fry's was like a half hour long.

 

[drum]

paycheck.
I was one of the few at the office friday

 

[trmiv]

I was working. But I walked over to the circuit city around the corner on a break and got an Xbox 360 with a free game. No camping, no stress, just walked over there at 9:00am and got my 360.

Yesterday about 8AM (I was up anyway) I went to Staples and got the Palm that was on sale for 149 with a free keyboard. I needed it anyway, nice price. No lines, quick in and out. Went to the Radio Shack next door and my son got a 7 inch DVD player for 59. They were probably cheaper somewhere else, but he likes it and it was easy.

Then we had a nice diner breakfast.

I went to BB and two 100 packs of DVD-Rs for $5 each, and two for movies (Beautiful Mind and Fight Club) for $5 each. I mainly went to hang out with some friends and get drunk.

 

[TXHokie]

I scored some $$$ in my bank account that wouldn't be there otherwise had I joined the BF madness. I've got all I need, anything else is really luxury.

 

[zainali]

got a bunch of stuff from staples online.

 

[jpeyton]

Plan C is staying up late early in the morning on BF and ordering online. That's what I did; scored some cheap GPS units. Grabbed a Nintendo Wii during the daylight hours (plus a full set of controllers), other misc. electronics; spent $1400 total. Not bad, but I could've done a little more damage if the register lines were shorter.

 

[fitzov]

Got one of those 20in Samsung lcds at staples for 180$

I don't get how you got all those LCDs w/out waiting in line.

 

[dartworth]

The only thing I wanted was that damn $27 shopvac @ the depot....I didn't get it...

Oh well...

hahaha

 

[lokiju]

Went to Frys.

Got a progressive scan DVD player for $17

A couple of DVDs for $00.99, X-men 3 for $7.77.

Camped out at the Santee Best Buy with GF, she really wanted the Westinghouse 32" LCD, we got there @ about 11PM there was about 100 people ahead of us. She got the last voucher they had, but it was for the 42" Westinghouse, so she got that. Then got a 27" Westinghouse with tuner for and a 22" Westinghouse LCD monitor all for like $1900 out the door. I think the 27" was overpriced, same price as the 32" which they were out of, but came with a Tuner. People were running for the 22" monitors. I waited with her for 6 hours and didn't get sh!t, maybe since she already has a nice LCD she'll slide me the 22"

 

[Conky]

I scored nothing but heartache.

Next year I will sleep in and laugh at people like me.

Black Friday deals are only hot if your time is worth nothing.

Went to Ace Hardware, finally found a place that could make copies of my condo keys, sadly no airfilter here either

GF saved a bundle, $$$$ bucks, she waited for 6 hours. Ended up saving $1040 off BB'
s normal prices, and probably $750 off on-line prices. I know nobody personally who makes even close to that kind of money in 6 hours. And people who were there who got more then a couple items (she got 3) saved even more.

My time is worth money and if you play your cards right with BF deals, you can save tons of cash *shrug*

I mean it was 6 hours of sitting there drinking soda and chatting, was boring as hell but the end result was wonderful. And mind you we didn't really plan anything, just drove to a BB and waited.
