Use a credit card with the lowest interest rate, pay it off ASAP.

More shopping days for the consumer but another day of agony for the Wal-Mart worker.

But yes, the iPod is the best way to go :).

I beg to differ - Black Friday is all about getting the best deals! I don't care for standing in-line for 3 hours @ Best Buy or any other store for that matter... especially in Chicago... where it SNOWED today. :)

Virgin Mobile Nokia Cell Phone - $9.99 AR (with Activation) Kyocera K10 Royale Cell Phone for Virgin Mobile - $19.99 Virgin Mobile Audiovox 8610 Color Flip Phone - $39.97 Melitta Single-Serve Automatic Coffeemaker - $25.00 Game Boy Advance SP w/ Super Mario Advance 2, Car Charger & Case - $68.88 The Simpsons Season 6 DVD Box Set - $17.88 Cingular Motorola Razr V3 Package - $88.73 I tecnically don't want all those phones, but whichever one I can get.

Yeah, totally. It would make a perfect PC for your mother.

Ha, that will show her to have some journalistic integrity!

I have taken the liberty to email her as well. That story was just ridiclous.

My two local Targets are unusually empty on Black Friday. Like someone else said, I walk into Target around 5-ish and can still get everything on my list, no lines. It's great.

Manufacturers such as HP/Compaq, Dell, Acer, Gateway, etc will use the same hardware.

Awesome.

They are obviously affiliated with their local paper... and want to sell more.

We're still trying to figure that out.

I'm fairly sure you need a city permit. For instance, even lemonade stands need permits in Chicago.

Quite possible!! LOL.

50% on what?

I also have worked retail and I agree that I was never allowed to accept tips... Here is a great idea though, what about gift certificates to fast food places? I know McDonald's sells them in denominations of $5. Great idea, though sperdue!

Cingular.com has the RAZR for 249.99 prepaid, so I don't know what's going on. Nevertheless, I want one if it's 88 dollars!!!!!

Smokers bother me the most. Maybe 1/100 has some really terrible BO, but smokers are everywhere!!!!

I want a Gameboy SP!

And by "some" I mean in no way the Door Busters, sorry.

It's possible some of the items may be available online... Check back here next week for definite news.

I doubt any will go on sale...

I totally agree!! Check newegg.com, buy.com, and tigerdirect.com... You cannot beat those places for computer items... And I would also recommend Logitech's .

Yes, you must have TiVo service to program recordings. If you have a PC, I would recommend a PVR card instead.
