I am here for the females in the family. I would rather pay regular price than do this!
I hear ya there. Remember when Denny's (the restaurant) was giving away free Grand Slams? The lines here were between 90 min and two hours. How on Earth could someone NOT simply pay the 5 or 6 bucks instead of waiting for that long??
I mentioned a tempting ad in Timmy Talk a while ago, and then realized: it was a terrible deal! Best Buy bundled a 32" 720p TV and a Wii, for $499. Only 40 at each store. Well, I just priced things on Google Shopping, and I don't think anybody sells Wiis for more than $200, and lots of 32" TVs are less than $300. But when the ad came on last night, all of us thought wow, that's great deal!

Yep, my sister DID go shopping at 5am for a TV. They had sold out of them last night at 11pm. The ad stated good from 5am-11am today. Wal-Mart of course. So she had to buy a different TV, for $100 more.

They would have to be giving away cash money and alot of it to get me out on Black Friday.
At one of the shopping centers here, starting at 6:00 tonight they are handing out a gift bag with assorted trinkety things and a free gift card valued from $20 to $200 to every single person 18 years or older who stops at the shopping center main office. Justin and his friend are both headed over there for it. But for me, even that is not enough to convince me to fight those crowds today. There is not a sale in the world that is good enough to get me out there today!

We didn't go out shopping for that purpose, but I did stop at Penney's to see if they had boots and I found some nice leather boots for $29.99 a pair. Regular price is $130. Jeff bought me a brown pair and a black pair. That was the extent of our shopping; I don't really like to fight crowds.

I went to Lowe's and bought a Square D 220V 30A 1P 10KAIR Circuit Breaker and some screws to fix one of our dining room chairs.
I don't that rates as "Black Friday Shopping"
I hope the purchases were for two different repairs...
