Holy crap! I don't go into Best Buy until after all the doorbusters and crazy people are gone later in the morning (I don't have a death wish, lol), but this is an EXCELLENT ad and it would take a lot for me to say that. Our TV went out a couple of months ago and we've been using our very small 22" tv in our large living room. I'm surprised we haven't gone blind trying to squint to see the TV. For the first time ever, I'm wondering about camping out. Something I thought I'd NEVER do!!

YES! Thank you!!! One of my favorite movies... can't believe I couldn't place it. I knew I had seen it in something. Thanks! :)

BigJim, what movie is your avatar pic from? I can't place it and it's about to drive me crazy wondering! lol

Best Buy for several reasons... At our Best Buy I can NEVER find anyone that is willing to help and the employees at check out are always rude. I disagree with and do not like the company that they use to finance their credit cards (HSBC). And finally, I don't need ANY electronic gadget that bad where I'd ever get in that mess on Black Friday. I can honestly say that I haven't had a pleasant experience at Best Buy in years... I have grown to hate that place.

Congratulations winners! I think a fun contest would be to jumble up words of black friday items and members have to unscramble the words. Example- "GESEUHTWNOSI TDHV" would be "WESTINGHOUSE HDTV". Just an idea. :)

This store had some great deals last year that I would have liked to have gotten too. I sure do wish they had one nearby, but unless I am willing to drive thru 3 or 4 states, it looks like I'm outta luck. :)

Love the cartridge sale as well, although I'd be happier if they'd sell them for $15.00 each! Very good price on them, but when bills are to be paid, Cricut cartridges aren't a top priority. Also, I remember buying the Fiskars paper trimmer on Black Friday two years ago for $4.99 and I ended up getting the second to last one. I'm not sure if I'll be going there this year or not.

Awesome! Thanks so much for this contest. I can't wait to wear mine and show what an "elite shopper" I am. Congratulations to the other winners too!

We'll probably be spending much less than last year. My husband was hurt at work earlier this year and was out for almost two months and we're still trying to get back on track from that. He's trying to work atleast another 30 hours overtime in October and November to cover black friday/Christmas shopping. But in addition to that, we really have no clue what to get our son or his daughter for Christmas. There is nothing that they really want and no good toys are out. We honestly have no idea what we're going to get them! I'm glad though, because it will keep us from spending as much money... I definately don't want to buy junk just to buy something that day.

Here is the video I just made for the contest. I've wanted a Black Friday shirt for a couple of years now- maybe I can get one this time! :)

I know this is kind of late, but have you heard of "Chinese Christmas". We have way too many family members to buy for everyone, so that is what we do. You can set a limit of $5.00 or $10.00 per person (or whatever limit you want). Each person brings a wrapped gift to your gathering and that evening you all draw numbers. The person with number one gets to pick first out of the pile of gifts. Then number two takes their turn... they can pick a new gift or take the first person's gift. Then the person that drew number three goes next... they can pick a new wrapped gift or take one from person 1 or 2. And everyone goes until all gifts have been picked (I'm sure you can find more exact rules for this game online). It's a fun game for the adults to participate in (we buy for the kids)... everyone still gets to open a gift and it doesn't break the bank. We always have a blast playing this game and we've had all kinds of gifts from Krispie Kreme doughnuts and coffee, to lottery tickets, to a bag full of comical "adult" items, (we aren't exactly a proper and formal family, lol), nice flatware, and everything else in between. This is just a suggestion.

We always have a regular dinner for Thanksgiving, but for Christmas everyone brings a little bit of everything... cheese and crackers, various items to make sandwiches (chicken salad, pimento cheese), ham, deviled eggs, different candies and desserts, just a little bit of everything. It's pretty much just finger foods for Christmas. And then we get together for New Years Eve for a "game night" where we bring the Wii, Seinfeld Scene it and other games. On that night we may do a Mexican theme where we bring tacos, enchiladas, nachos, etc. Or we may choose to cookout hot dogs. We change that up.

I bought one as well on BF as well as a cartridge to go with it. Unfortunately, since it cost so much I told my husband just to wrap it up, put it under the tree and not to get me anything else for Christmas. Sooo, I haven't been able to try it yet. I did speak with a couple of other shoppers that were picking a few up and were giving them as gifts. They said they loved theirs. Also as I was leaving Wal-Mart one of the greeters saw it in my buggy and told me she had one. She told me she was in love with hers as well. I've heard nothing but good things about it and can not WAIT to unwrap mine and use it Christmas morning!

Our son (7) wants: Claw Arcade game from TRU (got it on BF) Woody and Buzz talking figures Bop It Mario Kart for Wii Tools (REAL ones he says) Any kind of Zurg toy A Mars Globe (don't even know if they make such a thing) Toy Story bucket of soldiers Astronomy laser My Sims game for Wii (which he just bought this weekend with his birthday money) Each year he's always had that one item on his list that he MUST have, but there isn't anything out there that he's really interested in this year.

I'd love a shirt one of those shirts as well!
