Black Friday Scores!

Giant & 49er Fan · 11-27-2009, 12:53 PM

Last night, Kate (nerfGIRL) and I stood in line at the local Walmart for 1 1/2 hours to get ourselves new laptops. We each scored a HP laptop with most bells and whistles for $398 (regularly $900) as the clock struck midnight on Black Friday.

What did you score on Black Friday?

7 1/2 hours of sleep, Jaime.

I drove down the road and couldn't find a parking space so I came home. My time is worth more than saving $50 on a tv.

Got to see 2 women fight in walmart and smelt this nasty ass lady in game stop.she smelt worst then a NFL locker room after a game.

I got a free stuffed bear. Then I gave up fighting the crowds.

Well I would have paid to see the fight!

Made 93.00 an hour working a football game Yesterday, and working 8 hours of football games today at a good rate. I decided to take toms route and sleep because I made more than enough money in these two days to compensate for any Black friday deal. Unless I would have saved over a 1000 for something I didnt need.

My Walmart score was pretty painless. I stumbled across it. We didn't even know it was going to be at midnight. They had a manager starting a line at 930pm so we just looked at each other and decided to hop in. I won't be caught sleeping in front of Best Buy overnight or anything!

Sauer Grapes · 11-27-2009, 02:03 PM

I slept in to my normal time I wake up for work. Priceless.

I did buy upgrades for my wife and my phones, but that was online.

Scottw · 11-27-2009, 02:03 PM

Got a 32 inch LCD TV for the bedroom, $230.

G G · 11-27-2009, 02:19 PM

Nice! I was shocked to see Walmart allow people to take more than one sale item per person. There were folks buying laptops, TV's and Ipods in a single purchase.

Beagleone · 11-27-2009, 02:34 PM

Woke up late (4:40 AM) but still got to Best Buy by 4:59 AM. Bought a Toshiba laptop for $450ish for my niece & nephew, then a Sony 5.1 sound system for me. Also a 20" flat screen monitor for my computer. I was happily back asleep on the couch at 630 AM. I decided next year I will sell coffee, donuts, hot chocolate and my cheap cigars while waiting for the doors to open.

kelmac07 · 11-27-2009, 02:39 PM

Got some luggage, clothes, external CD rom drive, X-mas gifts...hit Walmart, Target, Best Buy and Kohls...crazy!!!

poriggity · 11-27-2009, 02:47 PM

Yeah this economy sure does suck huh? People buying lots of expensive items because they are on sale.

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.
