3ea $50 pebble blue Samsung S3's from the Sprint store. Of course, I'm locked into another 2yr contract....but coming from a Samsung Epic 4g, it's a pretty sweet phone.
 
Got a couple of coats at Men's Wearhouse. Not outstanding deals, but good overall. I was just waiting for their next two for one which happens all the time anyway.
 
I slept in all day. Being a wierdo after Thanksgiving dinner I was bored and ran three miles. Somehow this made me stay up late but got a great nights sleep.

I got up at 3pm and did absolutely nothing. It was a great day
 
I went to Target around 1PM to see if they had any interesting Blu-Ray deals, and most were pretty poor compared to Amazon, which was unlike last year. I ended up only buying Donnie Darko for $4. I know the transfer's not that great since the source isn't that great, but meh... I don't own it. I bought myself a bunch of Blu-Rays off Amazon though and some Christmas gifts. Let me tell you... you've got to be as fast as Lightning to get those Lightning Deals on Amazon. Although, I'm damn certain that people buy them without even thinking about it. I saw people pay $8.99 for Wrath of the Titans as a Lightning Deal. Sounds alright? It was $3.99 earlier that day just as a normal sale!

Ultimately, I ended up getting some good TV series for about $12 or $17 per season, which is good. Well, as long as we're not talking about those poor excuse for a season. Six episodes... pfft!

Never left the property but made my first ever BF purchase, an SSD from tigerdirect. It is my first purchase from them although I was already registered there. So far I have been totally unable to hit the linked site to download the rebate form. I get absolutely interminable tab saying "waiting for www.4myrebate.com..." It's frustrating and strikes me as a total scam. They make it so hard to get your rebate they make money by virtue of a significant percentage of their customers giving up. I'll get the motherfuckers, so help me...

I've been fighting the OCZ rebate site most of the day. And it's for $20!
 
I got a socket set from Sears for 50% off. Chose to pick it up at the local store to save shipping. It was packed, the lines at the registers were ridiculously long. I got in and out pretty fast.

Also got a deal on Timberland boots from Amazon, 25% off.

That pretty much blew my budget for the day. Didn't really need anything else, although the Seagate 3TB HD deal would have been nice.
 
Got the Vizio 60" from Walmart (our store had 35 of them) and a few little things - HP 3 in 1 printer ($19.99), Toshiba 1TB portable drive ($59), 3 16GB usb drives ($6.97). TV is up and running for the FSU vs UF game today.

I could go for that, but it's out of stock. I could really use a very small windows portable... cheap. I saw one last night (probably NOT cheap), a Sony Vaio, the screen looked to by about 4" x 8" no trackpad, just a mouse nub. I think it would work for what I want it for.

BestBuy might still have the ASUS Q200E for $449 with Kaspersky.
Same specs but with a touchscreen and 11.6".

There's also the Thinkpad X230 for $608.
 
Got a great price on a Savage Axis XP 30 .06 rifle with scope for son #1
Got a couch for son #1
Got a recliner for son #2
(Have to purchase more for #2 for xmas)
Some tools, stocked up on the expansion foam (at less than half regular price.)

Clothes, clothes, and more clothes. I think the wife said that the receipt said "you saved $5xx.xx" - and we wound up with $95 in Kohl's cash. Not to mention JCPenney (and now a $5 off 5 and $10 off 10 coupons in addition to the other savings.)

Got another set of pyrex storage containers (I prefer them 10 to 1 over plastic or tupperware - gave away all our plastic containers to the kids.) Plus, there were a couple of different sized casserole dishes instead of the typical 9x13. Perfect for deep dish lasagna without needing to make 15 pounds of lasagna.

And,... a new can opener. (I'd rather just use the little hand tool, since we open a total of about 1 can each week - I hate clutter on the countertop, but the wife wanted it.)

Missed out on the 60" Vizio though. 🙁 All taken by the time we got to the line. On a positive note - I didn't have to wait in line for hours.
 
i purchased a blu ray from amazon, at around noon
i didn't leave my house yesterday and i didn't put on pants
it was great
 
I got the Dyson DC-41 Animal at Kohls. They had it at $449.99 but i was able to take another 20% off with promo code to bring it down to $381. And also $105 Kohl's cash to use later this week.
 
Lowes a couple of 2D led Maglites for 15 bucks.
Amazon $97 32" tv, $99 dropcam HD
Bestbuy $199 PS3 uncharted/infamous bundle
Target $7 Jenga!
 
16gb iPad4
16gb 5th gen iPod Touch Blue
Samsung Chromebook 3G - backordered
Brother HL2280DW laser printer
IOGear 12-1 Flashcard reader/writer

EDIT: Just ordered Canon EOS Rebel T3i package deal for the wife. She has been asking for DSLR camera. T3i with 18-55mm lens, 55-250mm lens, backpack, 16gb card, 58mm UV filter for $572. With 3% Amazon card cash back and 2% additional promo cash back, final price will be $543. I don't know anything about cameras but this looked good.

It's hard to go wrong with either Canon or Nikon DSLRs these days. It used to be that the kit lenses (the $200ish lenses often bundled with SLRs) were awful, but they've improved enormously. They're still softer than the $600-$800 consumer-grade lenses, but they're not bad.

"Vacation" lenses (lenses with a 10x zoom range) are still terrible optically. You're really just as well off with a point-and-shoot if changing lenses feels inconvenient.

32" LCD TV from Sears on Monday ($102.87 - $9.70 Discover cash). Nothing else....looking for a decent video card for a good price (7850, 660, or so with a price of $150 or less - should have kept the 7850 that I ordered from Newegg for $139.99 AR but cancelled and now regret it).
 
I got 7 12-month Xbox Live Subscriptions for $35 each. Also got the Assassin's Creed III Playstation Vita bundle for $179, plan on selling my current Vita.
 
SanDisk 240GB SSD for $139(Newegg)
GT5 XL for $10(Amazon)
Maglite 2D LED for $15(Lowe's)


First SSD and I cannot wait to install it!

The flashlight was a good score because the bare aluminum ones are hard to find around here. The anodized coating always comes off the other colors🙄
