jaymacfla Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 We are here in force with 6 tents, and more people are starting to show up as i speak. #1 again. we had a great buffet style thanksgiving dinner, and we have already shopped online and price matched the sony bluray player for $118. The Local best buys have been ordered to clearance or blow out all televisions, so they have been marked down even further from the 4 day sale. Having WiFi here is a bonus!
Klownicle Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 That would be my orange extension cord; mwhahah
bigjimslade Posted November 26, 2009 Author Posted November 26, 2009 I agree. When I was out early this morning the first thing I said to my friend who went with me is that times have changed and online shopping will now be king on BF. Sounds like the general public is finally starting to realize that you can get most of the deals online, and the few deals not offered online are not worth waiting 2+ days like people used to do.
iggypop123 Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I agree. When I was out early this morning the first thing I said to my friend who went with me is that times have changed and online shopping will now be king on BF.not so fast, the laptops are already sold out on best buy

Klownicle Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I aggree, I still hope there is somthing that gets me out on black friday every year thoe. The bestbuy 197$ laptop changed my mind this year. I enjoy doing this. Its much more fun to camp out then it is to refresh a page and click add to cart :-p
wnc_mom Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 What time is anyone gonna try to be at TRU? I am clueless as to when to leave! I live about 1 hour away from where im shopping...???? Help!!!!

buffaloguy Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Looked like 3 people outside at Best Buy in Wausau, WI when I drove by. No one at any other stores that I saw. But then again it is 30 degrees here and set to get colder and wetter!!
Svuroo Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 The Walmarts around here (Chicago North burbs) have NO more spaces in the parking lot. If you're not inside yet, you are too late.
Talama Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 What time is anyone gonna try to be at TRU? I am clueless as to when to leave! I live about 1 hour away from where im shopping...???? Help!!!!My stepson tells me TRU is open today. No sale for today, but he says they're open nonetheless, at least the Hialeah store where he works. The BF ad starts at midnight.

msharpsteen Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Wow! So far we take the cake for die hards I think. Best Buy Springfield MO 5:00 cst Thursday no less than 30 in line-2 winnebagos, a couple of tents and a parking lot full of folks waiting in their cars; a bit of a party it seemed and for a minute I was sad I didn't have anything to camp out for this year since I got the ps3 bundle online this morning.
bsutton1 Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Best Buy in Greenville, NC as of 7pm- 4 tents and 20 people sitting out. That's all that I saw. I'm going to try to get Wal-Mart before 5am. I only care about getting some cheap DVDs but it will be a bonus just to watch the nuts go nuts.
jstluvem Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Was at the Best Buy and Target on Queens Boulevard, Queens, New York City at closing time last night (10-11PM) and didn't see any line as I left.

lcplwinkerswife Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 i will be heading out around 10:30 pm tonight to a friends house then we are going to stand in line around 2 am at Sears... Thankfully my mom is staying with my almost 5 month old dd while shes sleeping, so I can go get my hubbys TV . Especially since he works third shift so he wont know what tv hes getting ... then going to the mall and hopefully pick up some stuff for the others on my list ... just hoping I can stay awake :)

First time I've evern seen that. Rode to Cherry Hill and there were about 25-30 as well with a few tents. Also the local Philly news station had their truck set up.
