Gotta admit that I love black fridays. Last year I camped out at best buy in wilson for one of 5 HP G60 laptops, and I have to say it was a great decision.


probably your best source for the deals is slickdeals.

looks like they just released Best Buys black friday ad. Not sure what im gonna go after this year.

i don't think i've ever shopped on black friday

11/13/2010 12:33:27 AM

so fuck it...

11/13/2010 12:34:21 AM

I did black friday shopping ONCE. My sister wanted a kitchenaid mixer, and kohls had them super cheap on black friday the year the family came to my place in Raleigh. So I, being my dumbass self, agreed to get up and take her there at 4am. NEVER AGAIN!

11/13/2010 11:23:13 AM

i won't ever shop on black friday again after having shit stolen from my hands on a previous occasion. it's not worth the stress to me.

...unless i can get a killer deal on a 5d somewhere...

I watch blackfriday.info for new ads. there are a million of other sites out there as well.

This one will send you emails when your store's ad is out. Bestbuy and Target are already out there so yea

ive tried and failed a few times

i'm not camping out in front of a store all night to save fifty goddamn dollars

Why go to the stores? A lot of online retailers do similar black friday deals and all you have to do is sit on your ass and buy something and have it shipped. Ground shipping on a TV usually is usually cheaper than the taxes you'd pay if you bought it in store, so why bother with the store? Look around amazon or newegg (or any other reputable online retailer) and buy what you want.

Supposedly it's when businesses finally get out of the red ink for the year, so this is the one time that the word black is used in a good connotation and you have a problem with it?

11/13/2010 2:05:17 PM

I do some black friday shopping. I have purchased a couple big ticket items, cameras, computers, and TVs. But I am mainly in this shit for the cheap socks.

I'm all about the after christmas super sales though.

11/13/2010 2:54:46 PM

I haven't been to one since 2008 I think...I thought I'd never be able to stop going, but it's funny how fast you get used to not fighting off a bunch of crazed assholes over a few shitty products.

11/13/2010 2:56:23 PM

rarely are black friday deals offered on anything that's actually desirable

and even then, the discount's not great enough to be worth the stress

needless to say, i have never shopped on a black friday

11/13/2010 2:56:36 PM

I, too, have never shopped on Black Friday. This year won't be any different, considering I won't get paid until the 30th and have to pay rent out of that. It'll be nice to see what online deals there are though.

11/14/2010 12:47:38 AM

the deals all suck this year. a couple places have like one decent thing (like dragon age ult edition @ kmart) but amazon will price match all of those anyway.

11/14/2010 12:49:41 AM

Fuck any of you people who hasn't worked retail on a black friday....talk about the reason to never want to work retail again.

And no, I ain't talking some little rinky dink shop black friday. I am talking 300,000 strong Black Friday mob...

...I still have nightmares.

11/14/2010 9:45:30 AM

^Yup. I worked a toy store three years in a row for black friday. Talk about busting down the doors; and we didn't even have an good sales, just "10% off of everything in the store (that we've already marked up in price.)"

11/14/2010 10:23:24 AM

http://slickdeals.net/blackfriday/16075/compaq-101-netbook-w-intel-atom-processor-1gb-ram-160gb-hd-windows-7-starter

is this netbook good?

11/14/2010 11:17:56 AM

for what it is? sure...i picked up an acer with the same specs for $170 after tax a couple of months ago from staples and i didn't need to wait in line to do it

this one is $9 cheaper and you have to deal with BF in order to get it (best of luck to you there)...i'd also rather have an acer

personally, i'd suggest setting up a deal alert on SD for "netbook" and just wait for something as good for $20 more to come around...my time and sanity is well worth $20

11/14/2010 12:48:51 PM

Dude I with the ad scans esp for Target I am just going to shop a few days before and then just go get a price adjustment.

is it assholeish. yes a lil bit but its also smart working the system. I also have worked a few black fridays when i use to work for best buy so know the ins and outs.

11/14/2010 1:38:23 PM

I like to drive my big ass truck through places like crossroads really slow, then walk in isle of stores with a couple of friends as slow as possible blocking the isle.

11/14/2010 2:00:03 PM

Looking at Slickdeals there doesn't seem to be shit worthwhile this year for Black Friday.

11/14/2010 9:09:10 PM

mom, my aunt, grandma (before she passed), & i go shopping every black friday, but just out of tradition. not for deals. we don't usually go til afternoon when the crowds have died down some.

i worked at target in high school on black friday one of the years that tickle me elmo was the shit. thankfully i didn't have to open that morning. folks got trampled.

are there ever any deals on video game consoles only? as in, just the console, not 3 games & extra controllers for the same price.

11/14/2010 9:22:21 PM

the only thing I am seeing that might be worth anything is the appliance deal at target

other than that, nothing.

best buy sucks this year.

anxious to see what walmart offers but I dont want to have to put up with all those people

11/14/2010 9:26:44 PM

tickle me elmo was a funny time in history

Not that I've seen. Great, I can get the PS3 with the Karate Kid on blu-ray and 2 shitty preschooler games

11/15/2010 10:37:58 AM

fuck black Friday, it's black November...

11/15/2010 1:28:21 PM

Who usually has good appliance deals on Black Friday?

11/16/2010 1:47:58 PM

I hate each and every one of you.

Luckily my store doesn't open until 8am and I don't have to be in until 11:45 since we close at 8pm.

But I still hate you guise

11/16/2010 1:53:25 PM

whats the over/under on people killed this year in the mob?

11/16/2010 2:26:31 PM

I can't see people going apeshit over the sales this year. But then again people are stupid.

People go apeshit over literally any sale this time of year. These are the people that already have 3 TV's, yet see the 42" TV advertised for $250 from 6am-8am only and go fucking bonkers.

Then there are the idiots that try to resell for a profit...I remember somebody came into classifieds on TWW and posted a digital camera for sale shortly after black friday for like $130, and then people proceeded to post scanned images of the best buy black friday ad promoting the camera's sale price of like $49.99 or something...wish I could find the thread...

11/16/2010 3:05:15 PM

I get these deals online and Ive hated all corporate entities since compusa and circuit city closed down Best buy is so crappy, especially now that they have ZERO competition.

11/16/2010 3:10:05 PM

"circuit city"

Poor CC...they kind of sucked, but they carried some brands that BB didn't, and it was nice to have an alternative.

They were also the last place I went to for a black friday sale...

11/16/2010 4:28:16 PM

the only problem i have with best buy is that sometimes it is like kmart or lowes where you cant find a fucking person that works there.

other than that i am always pleased with my shopping there
