darianwiccan Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 $378 laptop from Wal-Mart. Also managed to watch some poor get trampled in the rush of crowd behind me while I held and petted my laptop. She was alright though, just a little shook up. I also got the new Trivial Pursuit: Book Lover's Edition and LOTR Trilogy Edition DVD Trivial Pursuit from TRU. Went to Sears to wait in line for the gift card. Got there at about 5:45. They had already passed out the cards, and the people who got them went to their cars to get warm while we all waited in line because we didn't know. About 10 of us let the management know that it was BS and that we were taking our business elsewhere.
denisekraemer Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I prebought last week the C315 camera from Target. This morning I walked in and went to the service counter. I asked for my price adjustment. The girl told me they were not price adjusting this weekend...I figure they knew about the BF site and were fighting back :). I asked to speak to the manager. I told him that I checked twice before purchasing the camera to make sure I would be able to price adjust. He told me ok...and gave me the difference. Of course, you should have seen the look of the girl behind the counter. It was so funny.
mommy2mycutie Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I came away with a poker table and nice poker case/chips from Target (total $50). The $10 4-pack of My Little Ponies & medical kit at Toys R Us. Along with a My Little Pony jewelry box that was green tagged (1/2 off) and a Good Morning Sunshine My Little Pony (total $50 at TRU). Two of the $1.99 Tide and buy 1 get 2 free rolls of wrapping paper at Walgreens. Also got 2 for the price of 1 books for my daughter (total $8). I also went to Wal*Mart, but waited until AFTER 11 since there weren't any doorbusters I needed and my morning sickness was really acting up. I spent another $50 there, but I am now officially, 100% done with my Christmas shopping!! WOOHOO!!
biomajor Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I went back to Target around 3 or so while my daughter was taking a nap and picked up the Sewing Machine that she's been eyeing and Battleship and the electric griddle. Now I can throw away the griddle that sparks when I turn it on!! I used the excuse that I'd forgotten about the griddle and remembered it while she was asleep, so I had to go then LOL She's a good kid!

tommac Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Staples acer laptop 200 gb hard drive I arrive at my local circuit city at 12:30 am and there were already over 30 people ahead of me. The local circuit city had started to pass out vochers at 4:30 a.m. by this time the crowd had swell to over 200 hundred people. Five minutes later I heard people ahead of me in the crowd saying that the laptop vochers were gone. The employeee who was passing out the vochers confirm it to me a couple of minutes later ,that the store only receive fiftenn laptops and that there will be no rain checks. So I got out of the line and headed to staples which was not far from circuit city to see if I can get not only their laptops but the hard drive and dvd-rw they had on sale. Again I was 30 in the line and had to wait another hour for the store to open. As soon as the store open the crowd storm to the entrance and I waited in the front line and entered the store. I grab the 200 gb hard drive first but they were already out of the dvd-rw drive. Next I ask one of the employees there where are the laptops and he pointed me up to the customer service line where they were passing out the laptops. I was able to recieve one of the last one's they had in stock , paid for my items and left. At first I was disappointed in the laptop but I almost have the same specs as the cc toshiba one except 256 mb less of ram 20 gb less, and no s-video but it came with a year warantly. I will be upgrading the ram and get a slot card for the laptop soon so I am satisfied with what I got. I hope next year I will be able to shop at online cause It was way worse than last year Black Friday.
kfinto65 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 After a good day's sleep I decided to see if I could get the APC 1500VA UPS for $149.99 AR from CompUSA online. I checked and it was online for that price. I ordered it and didn't have to pay shipping!!! Plus I saved a lot of gas and time as the nearest CompUSA is 80 miles away.
Jackel Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I went to Walmart, I didn't have much on my list but I got everything I wanted I got, 20 inch TV/DVD combo for $98 Lightsaber for $8 Cabbage patch newborn for $10 Sewing Machine for $55 Pajamas for $10 I priced matched targets ad and got Quake 4 for $30
sbhiggins Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Started at CC. I arrived at 5 Am since I didn't want any doorbusters. Line was all the way around the bldg-- crazy!! Checkout took about 45 minutes. Only thing I didn't get were the $5 DVDs-- the crowd around the bin was three people deep and I didn't want to wait. I got: Friends season 9 Cinderella DVD Cranium turbo+ ziggity for free w/$20 rebate Screen cleaner FAR Coldplay CD for $6.99 Then on to Target. Arrived around 6:15. I got: $29.99 xmas tree + wreath (main things I wanted) $14.88 Charlie and choc. factory DVD fuzzy leopard print slippers $4.88 two sets of ornaments for tree (not on sale) Didn't get the PS2 game I wanted and Target refused to raincheck it. Had words about that to no effect. Left and went to Staples. Arrived at 7:15. They were out of the FAR paper shredder, so I left. Went to a Walgreens across the street. I got: 6 Planters peanuts (was told they didn't care about the limits) 2 Revlon $.99 lip glosses (forgot to use a $1 coupon I had!) Schick quattro power FAR alarm clock $4.99 - $4 rebate 3 of the Kodak instant cameras on sale for $3.99 - # $3/1 coupons-- thought it would be enough for Kodak $10 GC deal, but they rang up at $5.99 instead of $3.99 so I'll have to go back B1G1 12 pk batteries $3.99 plus a couple of clearance items Was heading to Radio shak (which is near home) but stopped at Hastings on the way home (media type store) because it was 7:55 and they were opening at 8-- this was the only place I actually waited in line. There were about 10 people there. I got: mini Ipod speaker set $29.99 - $20 rebate 2 $5.99 DVDs (About a boy and 21 grams) Bob Dylan 2 cd set that I thought was new and so I could use the flier coupon for any new CD for $8.99 on-- turned out it was used (though in perfect shape) and so on sale for $3.99!!! (as all used CDs were) CRT said I saved $21 on this item. At this point I had to go to the bathroom really bad so I headed home. Woke up DH and we hit Gamestop and EB games. He got 6 used games (B2G1 free) plus one more at EB games where he had $8 in credit. Had lunch out and then stopped at Walmart and PMd the PS2 game we couldn't get at Target. Last stop was Linens N Things for two new down pillows, on sale for $49.99 each, plus we each used a 20% off coupon so they were $39.99 each. I also ordered a few items from CC online on T'day-- batteries, memory stick and laptop kit. Pretty good day all around, though not as much fun shopping alone as it usually is with my family. I did ask my dad to pick up the $20 roaster oven at Walmart since I wasn't going to be there for the doorbusters. Oh, and at the T'day sale at Kmart, I got Alice in Wonderland and Bambi on DVD, 4 pepsi 2Ls, and the poker chip set for DH. Only thing I didn't get was DVD of 8 Mile-- even though it was on sale at lots of places, I couldn't find it anywhere. Hope everyone had a great day!! And get some sleep!

daworths8 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I got everything I needed except UNO Attack (no biggie) Even got my 3 gameboys (anyone remembers my situation) and returned the previous 3 I had bought begining of November that they wouldnt do a price adjustment on. So I bought 3 new ones today took them to the car, grabbed the old 3 out of car went to customer service............more money to shop with :) Did my own price adjustment Even spoke my mind at the gameboy buggy (they were in buggy, not a pallet), employee was being very nice instead of everyone running @ 5am she said I am personally handing them out (she knew who had been standing there all night) she was behind electronics counter so she wouldnt get hurt if they started acting crazy. Well like 10 minutes before 5 someone had asked about how many we could get. So she calls manager and asks manager says 1 untill everyone gets thru I started flying off the handle saying it doesnt say that in the paper NO LIMIT on what you could get. She calls her back says thats not gonna work and POOF that idea was dismissed. I needed 3 and I was getting 3 more for various friends waiting other places. Got my 6 and I was outta there
