Almost every house I go into while I am working (police officer) they claim to be poor and "times are hard" but they have cigarettes and a big screen.

Logicality is not always dominate in a society which promotes extreme materialism and addiction such as ours. If you were poor would you not want to come home to something to escape the daily grind and rat race which seem to lead to no end?

I would want to but would focus on taking care of my family, not my Iphone. I bought a new car recently, a Honda Accord, nice car. My friends said "you make good money, you hardly have a mortgage, why not get a benz? I told them when my son's education fund is at 100% in the bank, I will buy a benz, not before.

Or you could not waste your money on crap and work on getting a decent place to live. We have very modest cars clothes and belongings at our house. Our newest car is 6 years old. Our oldets is 15. We bought our home in the lowest crime rate area of San Jose with some of the best schools. I know people who live in crap areas, with escalades and iphones, and amazing tvs.

Its all prioritys. Mine is my children not my percieved appearance.

Not to say that I'm not happy for RPguy, as thats an awesome deal, I just love how the govt. and media says we're in a "recession" and people are still lining up around the block to get deals on stuff they don't need, or "can't afford". Personally, I am not feeling much of the "crunch" from the economy, and still feel comfortable buying whatever I want, but I am sure there are a lot of people who can't afford to buy those big screens or computers, but they are doing it anyway, because they got a "deal".

sikk50 · 11-27-2009, 03:53 PM

My score was being forced to unload 20+ rubbermaid boxes of Christmas **** from the rafters in the garage only to be told to help put up the lights.

Must find something to smoke after

McSmokey · 11-27-2009, 05:07 PM

Got all of my Christmas shopping done between 4am and 6:15am back in bed by 7 and slept til 1 hour before Alabama Auburn kickoff Roll Tide!!!!

Starz26 · 11-27-2009, 05:51 PM

Picked up the i-pod touch (8gb) and $50 i-tunes card for $186 after discount.....x-mas present....did not go in early at all...

Also took the two girls to Kohls shopping as they wanted to spend their b-day money...Was a good day with family....

mmblz · 11-27-2009, 06:40 PM

8 hours lounging around in pjs + 2 more thanksgiving meals

bvilchez · 11-27-2009, 11:51 PM

Dropped the wife off at Wal-Mart at 5 and I headed off to Home Depot.

Got in line at 5:06 and was the 16th person in line. By the time the store opened at 6 there had to be at LEAST 250 people on line.....for Home Depot!?!?!?!?!?

Well I ended up getting a shop-vac for $20, a 4 burner grill for $179 and a patio heater for $99....and a 10% military discount!!!!!!

Thrak · 11-28-2009, 08:11 AM

I had to fight a guy off to get the 55" 1080P lcd @ Costco ($1150), last one, he was in line behind me, and he grabbed the other end of the box. I said something like "get back in line!" .. I say "something like" cuz I dont really remember lol I was out in the cold for over an hour and was 14th in line.

Then Directv came by around noon and I've got some sweeeet 1080p feeds now.

Decided to try my luck at RadioShack to get the $13 Wii charging station around 8pm... they were sold out.

Zipped over to WalMart about 8:30p, got the 'pole position' parking spot and thought "this must be a sign", walked in and was like OMG... Grabbed the last PS3 bundle for $299, which was the one I *really* wanted to get the whole day. Came with inFAMOUS, Arkham Asylum AND The Dark Night on blu-ray. Even the sales guy was like wtf?!? lol

Got a bike for my son for 60% off and a little thing for our baby girl.

Got a TomTom GPS for $59 and a portable DVD player for $59 (for my Mom and MIL)

Also used Bing cash back to get about $40 or so back from getting stuff online.

All in all, not a bad day

I got everything I needed/wanted.

BigAl_SC · 11-28-2009, 09:36 AM

Slept in. Cooked bacon, pancakes w/real Vt maple syrup. Played cards with my parents and kids till 3pm. Went to favorite fish camp for dinner. Just a great day.

gettysburgfreak · 11-28-2009, 09:52 AM

never been one to wake up that early and wait in line with a bunch of people ready to run you over once the doors open. I really wanted to get a HP notebook computer but was unable to as I am stuck on base and had work at 7:30am
