shopping mom Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 In the past years what has been your best deal on BF, or the one you were most excited to get. BF of 2004 we got laptops at Best Buy for DD and DS they are still working great and have been a big help. I am sure there are others but I want to hear some of your victories.
able Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 my best was last year...i got paid to get a mp3 player ...it was the ad mistake thing.. where they printed the flyers saying final price..and didnt say after mail in rebates. so the store automatically gave items for the after rebate price..(there was actually a thing on the news about it the night before) and then after sending in rebate it was free. when i think about this i wonder if they did it on porpose.. cause it sure would attract the consumers.(however i really was expecting to pay the 20$ .i didnt expect them to give it for those prices..cause who in their right mind is gonna waste time onBF to debate the legality of the flyer,,,)
jellybean051901 Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 It wasn't a BF deal, but when the PS2 came out I was able to get one of the bundles online for my hubby for Christmas that year. Last year on BF I got the laptop at walmart
NeepNeep Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 For BF 2005 it would be the $149 desktop at Best Buy. For BF 2002 it would be the 32" stereo TV for $299 (great price, at the time), also at Best Buy.
love2beurwifey Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 The computer for $149 at Best Buy last year I can't remember the prior years best deals
krstee Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Last year, I an MP3 player for about $20 (after all rebates and what-not). Not a SCREAMING deal, but great for me. Got all the cabbage patch dolls I needed (gifts for a few of my daughter's friends).
ms_mckenna Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 We bought a tv at sears about four years back think it was a 28 inch at sears I cannot remember the price but it was good enough to get me in line early so it must have been pretty good. Anyway we left it there because I did not want to leave it on the back of the truck all day. I came back at 12 to get my TV and they had sold it lol. They gave me a 32 inch to replace it. It was a much better TV and I got it for the same price .
nickle831 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Last year it was the laptop from Best Buy! This year we are on the lookout for a new TV. Crossing my fingers!
shaneslove Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 For us it was the Gameboy package at Toys r us last year.. it came with games ( OF OUR CHOICE !! ) so that was a great thing. Same price as walmart but all of walmarts sold out quick with no games and toys r us had a bunch with games
hope1976 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I would have to say, ours was a $35 toy for our little girl (rock & roar dinosaur) from walmart. I price matched K-Marts ad that they had probably messed up on, but were honoring. They had the ad for $6.99
yuyi64 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I got the Ryobi 18V cordless screwdriver and flashlight combo last year at Home Depot for $29.99 on BF (regularly $99.99). I use the screwdriver on a regular basis and I only have to charge the battery once a month. Awesome deal on a very reliable and useful powertool, and the bonus flashlight is pretty nice too!
CrayZMama80 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 My best deal last year was the same as some of you, the 149 computer at Best Buy. Not a bad deal for our youngest for starter computers.
Daisimae Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 CC's $199, AR laptop from last year. I'm using it right now!
elena_398 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Target's sale on GameBoy Sps made me happy. Came with the Mario game my son had asked for too so double the savings for me. I also got the BF price in store on Wednesday as they got them in early and because of a couple of members here, I was tipped off they were selling them early for the BF price. So two days before BF I went in store and yes, I got them at that price. I was so happy. Come to find out, on BF they only had like 6 available because of that. I was lucky I read the post here and rushed over there last year
RossMAN Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 CC's $199, AR laptop from last year. I'm using it right now!That's a great laptop isn't it? IMHO it was better than the Walmart laptop.
Daisimae Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 That's a great laptop isn't it? IMHO it was better than the Walmart laptop.I love this machine Ross. It was the best deal I've ever got on a computer. I'd like another one like it this year for my hubby.
Spotted1 Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Last year, Wal-Mart had the power wheels Jeeps for $79... I didn't make it in to get one on BF, and thought I was pretty much out of luck. A couple months later we were looking for bikes for our daughter, and found one of the jeeps (The same one from BF) on the shelf with a clearance sticker on it. We ended up paying $60 for it after tax.
cactusmom Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I think my best deals have always been the BB computer every year (except for last year) Last one was 2 years ago for $199.00 The computers work fine for my families needs
kahmalim Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 2005 BF I got a 150.00 chopper bike for 25.00 with a price match of an Odd Lots ad at Walmart. That made my day.
mom395222 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Well I never buy any big items on BF, but my best or maybe it was just my favorite..was last year, Bath and Body Works, Wallflowers for $5!! The starter kits, and the refills!
mar0044 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 KB Toys had buy one get one free fisher price toys at 12 midnight on BF morning. We got all the kids toys.. That was the best! The kids got double what they would have gotten.
becca0884 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Last year, the Kitchenaid stand mixer that was orig. $199 was advertised on BF for $159 + $10 GC. They stocked the wrong mixers and by the time they realized it, they were sold out, so they gave the $299 mixer to us for the $159 price. Plus at the end, it gave us a $25 GC instead of the $10.
jadedmomof2 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Really..I thought my best deal last year were the huge bath towels for $3 each at Walmart.
sigrist_2000 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 A few years ago...well several years ago (omg..its been 11+ years ago..1995/6)...back when Hills was in business...got hotwheels for 3/$1..i think they even had a sale for 4/$1 one year during bf. It was insane back then...
PhaserBait Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 My first BF expedition was about 8-10 years ago. I got a 19" monitor from BB for around $150-200. (I've long forgotten the exact price.) This was when most people still used 14"-15" screens and a 17" was considered big. I'm still using that monitor on my home computer today. The laptop from last year is great, but I don't think any of our $149 computers or $199 laptops will still be in use ten years from now.
crix101 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 The best deal that I got last year had to be the Star Wars Battlefront II for 9.99, (I think thats right it might have been 14.99). If you all remember, the Kmart ad had it misprinted on the front with a picture of Starwars II and it was supposed to be Starwars I. Star Wars II had just come out and was 50. I price matched it at Walmart. Great Deal!
stationchief Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 My best BF deal was, of course, at Wal-Mart last year. Got an HP Pavillion laptop for a total out-of-pocket cost of $320! See, the wife works there so we get 10% off (including BF priced items), plus we used a coupon she got on her last paycheck for an additional 10% off any item. $378 + tax - 20% = about $320. Put it on layaway and still came out to the same total cost. Just needed a lil' stop at Fry's Electronics for an extra memory chip. Am usin' that very laptop right now.
brynnfromtheblock Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Probably the 149.00 BB desk tops last year (got one for my kids so they didn't need to use ours) and the 49.99 GBA SP's the year before....
djmaine Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 $199 Toshiba Laptop (I avoided the AOL requirement altogether) I use it to DJ with!
