BLKFRI

I have never seen tickets for TV's before. Usually computers, cameras, game machines, and large appliances. Everything else seems to have a good supply.

I'm going to wait for the ipod Invisa that hold a billion songs and is coming out next month. Steve Jobs just introduced it on TV.

They did that last year with celebrities waking you up.

At least you used Yahoo!. I hate Google. I don't trust them and won't click on anything that takes me there.

Even though the ads have a minumum number on the DVD and CD's, they usually have way more than needed. I never missed getting the ones I wanted. Finding them was the problem. They are in displays all over the store.

If its the MAG monitor, you should get there early. The other years they did not pass out tickets for LCD's. I was lucky enough to grab one. If its the SAMSUNG, go to Staples. It's cheaper, and should have virtually no line at the door.

The ad scan would be correct: 512MB for $9.99

Ok, tomorrows K-Mart ad is good thru November 23. There is no ad for after that date.

I just bought tomorrows paper and it has NO Black Friday ads. There is a Micro Center ad but its not for Friday.

Rock Em' Sock Em' Robots

I know I'm old fashioned and predictible but I WON'T change. Clothes again.(sigh)

Only going to major electronic stores. Except Best Buy.

It depends on what your looking for. I like CompUSA overall at midnight. Then swing over to Circuit City in the morning, Hit up Staples for those DVD's, Then shop for leftovers at Office Max and Office Store. Its strange how my store prioritys have changed this year. I always went to Best Buy first. Since they don't have the best prices/selection this year, and I still hate Best Buy for what they did to me 2 years ago. I am glad I won't be spending any $ there this year.

Those are the best deal on FAR items that I've seen! No Best Buy for me this year.

Ditto

The thing that scares me is that I bring cash. And when they had lots of rebates, this meant carrying about $4000. Best Buy use to have a cash only line and you got out quicker. I don't like using credit. Last year all the access to credit verification broke at Office Max, boy what a scene. They had to finally restart each register. and this takes about 15 minutes. The peeps in that store were livid. Even though your line was 1st, they would start a new line at a working register and now you were essentially at the end. Now, I had cash, and so they opened a seperate register and I was out in an hour.

Me too.

According to the research I've been doing on the Black Friday sale projectors, the Optima at CompUSA is also 1800 lumins. I have decided that the Optima is better suited for my needs. Most of what I am using is room brightness, and throw distance to create a 6x8 screen. The Infocus X1a isn't even in the running.

And here I was thinking of getting there around 7. You guys seem to think no one wants any of this stuff. A few weeks ago they had some of those AOL computers. I stopped by around 10 A.M. to pick up some 7.99/50 DVD's. The computers were sold out and several peeps came by asking about them. By the way I don't need the computer. I want the All-in-one, the projector, headset, printable cd's, a 19" LCD, battery ups, and the Sata drive.

As long as there is no rain, it can get as cold as it wants. Too bad the low is to be 49-50.

There was a pregnant woman next to us last year at Best Buy. We were there at midnight. She left to go to the bathroom twice but could not find a place. Her husband? just ignored her. I don't know why she just did not drive home. We had a trailer that we used with a bathroom and had decided before we got there that NO ONE else could use it. We knew if we let one person use it hundreds would want to as well.

I have parked right in front of where I am in line at Best Buy and just put the chair and my TV in the car after they passed out the tickets. By then, peeps pretty much know who is where in line. You could also bring a camp chair. Fold it and put it in the shopping cart. I don't see retailers complaing about strollers, and thats how a lot of stealing is done.

At least you can click on the GottaDeal link!

I go out early on Thanksgiving and buy copies of both our area papers. Some times they don't have all the ads in one or the other.

On Black Friday my "Must Have" is a all-around successful shopping experience!
