Title: Black Friday - 2010
Post by: Rico on November 23, 2010, 01:29:59 PM
I don't really go out and do Black Friday.  But I thought I'd start a little thread for us to post any deals we find or see.  Best Buy has a doorbuster site now up.  One thing I saw was DVD season sets of "Smallville" all for only $9.99/season.  Anyway, here's the link:

Oh, and here is some free Apple store app for those that want to get that iPad you have been looking at!

Mad Men is awesome Kenny. I highly recommended it. If they are accurate, people used to smoke A LOT in the 60's ;)

There's some amazing deals for smaller flat screen TVs.  I've seen several stores offering 26" sets for close to $200 bucks.  It's amazing to me how much the prices have dropped, I paid over $1200 for a  42" 1080p LCD three years ago.  You can't find one that size now over $500.

My mom called me to let me know there's a store in Philly selling the mid range 27" iMac for the price of the 21" model...that's 500 off.  I find it almost impossible to believe, I've never seen macs discounted like that, but I'm gonna check it out.

Well, I did go out for one item.  Didn't have much choice since I needed to buy it when I was in town.  Really not that busy I thought.  But this was many hours after those crazy 3am openings.

Most, if not all of Apple's products are on sale today via in-store and online (or Apple app). Even the iPad is on sale.  Oh how I wish I could just buy it now :(. 

Oh and iTunes has a bunch of albums on sale for a short time. 

Other than that, I haven't bought anything today.  Thus the issue with being on a college budget.  Oh well, what can you do.

I stayed home today. None of the deals were anything I "needed". Better to sit at home and enjoy the family :)

I've been working as normal today but even here (online at least) some companies are pushing 'Black Friday' sale items.

The funny thing is that I don't think anyone over here knows what the term means or where it comes from. (Let's face it, I only know because people here explained it last year).

We tend to have black Friday sales up here because retailers know a lot of Canadians will head down across the border to shop. They may as well try and capture some of that.

I stayed home as well, not feeling so great and am editing chapter 29 of TMAH.
