Mango ManMango Man Posts: 13,570 AG
My GF and I went into Best Buy last night. What a mad house. :willynilly The place was mobbed. Going into work this am there were people camped out for our door busters and free gift cards.

Any of you or your other half do this?

PS., bastages sold out of the TV we wanted prior to opening their doors. :grin

    Our car never left the garage today.

    Mostly mob appeal advertising super-hype.

    Most of these "fantastic" deals will probably also be available tomorrow, Sunday and Monday.

    The bottom line is always, "I have cash and want to buy. Do you want to sell?"

    The only difference between FSU and all the other colleges are other colleges accept you into the university's. At FSU you are taken into custody.

    I only buy online when it comes to a best buy deal, the mob is too intense for me.

    Many retailers were offering their "doorbusters" online, no crowd, no fights, no parking hassles, you could do it with your coffee in your underwear.

    I never left the house and bought just what I wanted, no problem.

    Went to three online sites, bought several items, made me a turkey sandwich, drank a beer and watched football. Shopping done.

    I like to support local businesses and jobs, but I won't go into a retail store until after the new year.

    I only went to Lowe's to get the Drill set I needed and they had LED light bulbs for .99 cents so I purchased 20 to replace them in my house. Only took me 30 minutes.

    I wouldn't think about shopping on Black Friday, but went to Gander Mt this am to kill the morning as I had nothing else to do and I've never been to a GM. Was pleasantly surprised, no crowds, nice store (Jupiter) Found a BOGO on fold up rocking chairs I've wanted for the camper for a long time
