My boyfriend and I have money to spend on ourselves this year and I figured that the best day to go all out would be black friday. I've always made it a point to not go out on black Friday, but I really want some good deals and it might be interesting.

This site seems to have daily updates on ads that have leaked before thanksgiving and I've been trying to get a good idea of what I'm going to get.

My list consists of
-laptop
-2 ipods (nano or classic)
-gaming console (since we don't have one)

We really wanted to get a ps3, but it doesn't look like they are going to be on sale, just maybe some free blu ray dvds with purchase. I heard x-box 360 was going to be as low as $100 and the wii will have a significant price cut too.

The god of all Black Friday info. Wait until a couple of days before Black Friday and that site is a freaking gold mine.


However, do realize that any information released now isn't concrete info.

BUUUTTTT...

For the laptop, we got my mom a laptop last year on Black Friday from Office Max. Originally $1500 for $500. It's a damn good laptop too. Plus, no one is clamoring to get into the doors there like at other places such as Best Buy or Circuit City.

Well, I'm going to have about $800 to spend. If I get a laptop I'm deffinately getting the ipods plus accessories for both. I read that alot of ipod accessories are going to be SUPER cheap, and I'm planning on hitting up walmart since its right across the street.

I'm pretty sure apple is doing 15% off for BF. I just don't know how much they would be at walmart, or if they are going to be on sale.

No retail job for me this year. I'm happy to have a desk job, because the office will be closed that day. =]

I am giving up on black friday this year .... I have decided that nothing is worth waiting in the bitter cold winter long ass line.

Good luck to those who venture out.

Dang, there's a lot on that site.

Last week someone felt the need to link a bunch of deals on websites like Amazon that weren't even there, haha. I've never gone shopping on Black Friday, but I've heard wayyyy to many stories from people who have had to work.

I just plan on hitting the online sales. Sorry, but I am not going to be waiting on those long lines for all of that bullshit. I do plan on going shopping on boxing day though.
