Was anyone crazy enough to go and what did you get?

I understand the great savings but is it really worth the hassle?
I saw on the news this girl took off work a couple days to wait in line for those
door buster tickets for the tvs (i beleive it was bestbuy) and i thought to
myself did you really just waste ur vakay time on this or possibly didnt even
get paid for those days off to save like $200-$300?? wow!

I for one was possibly going to try it this year cuz i wanted a tv,but the last
week ive been checking for online deals better,i knew they wouldn't be as good
as in store BF but i didnt want to go through the hassle of POSSIBLY getting
a great deal,well anyways walmart.com had black friday deals ONLINE ONLY
early on thanksgiving, and i scooped me up a tv for a real good price.
It was a Element 46in 1080p 60hz lcd for $329 (reg $529), not the best tv on
the market but i dont have much money and for the price it seemed like a
great deal,also had great reviews 4.2 stars out of 5 based on 33 reviews

 

I did not take off work, or wait in line, I went later when there was still deals, Found a 32" Philips HDTV for 229, There were none left on the showroom floor at target. So I bet people thought they were all gone, simply asked an employee if there was any in the back, There was 6. Saved over 100 on the tv.

 

I didn't have any money to spend yesterday, not that I ever go and do the midnight thing even when I do.

 

Stayed home in front of the pc. (I WIN)

 

Yesterday was the first time in 9 years I did not have to work at Best Buy on Black Friday. I stayed went to my job at 8am and came home at 5pm and enjoyed every second of not having to deal w/ stupid people.

 

I have a little secret. It`s called after Christmas

 

i did for the first time ever on friday. went to hhgregg cause they had 73 inch tvs for 799. so i figured i would drive by at like 5 and if there was no line i would get in line. there was only like 4 people there so yep i waited, so boring, then it started raining.

they actually did it kind of cool. they randomly came out and asked us in order what we were there for then gave us a voucher for the item so basically when the doors opened i walked right for the cashier and was the first person out of there. no beatings or fighting took place that i seen

so for that instance waiting in line for 5 hours to save a few hundred dollars yeah was worth it

 

I went with the mad mob when walmart opened at midnight, was in line maybe 1-1/2hrs and got a small tv for $78, some memory cards for the camera, and some pants for christmas gifts... total savings about $100, well worth my 9 minutes in the store and the mad mob. Now i have to figure out how i'm going to get power and signal where the tv will go....

 

I went to sears and picked up a 220 craftsman set and a 19.2 volt craftsman drill for $160 total, didnt really have to wait in line other then like 5 minutes, other than that i didnt go to any stores

 

I had a gig on Friday evening so I stayed home as long as humanly possible before venturing out. I got to stay home and watch college football which was far more enjoyable than shopping.
