This is my third or fourth year in a row going to Staples. The one I go to is near no major stores, so the line really isnt that bad. This year, I got there 45 minutes early and was about 30 to 40 back. However, I lucked out and was the last person to get the paper for the laptop. I felt fortunate. It was a peace of cake getting everything else I wanted too. I will keep going to Staples, but may try getting there earlier if I want something big again.
