Green Friday '06: Savings? Bargains?
 

Will any of you flock to spend your money very early on Friday?

If so, what stores do you plan on visiting? Do you have a certain strategy that you follow on this day to take advantage of the bargains?

For you internet shoppers, savings are to begin on Monday.

i heard a radio ad about Prime Outlets opening at Midnight to kick off the Holiday Shopping Season. If i can trick my boyfriend into coming with me, we'll be in line at Banana Republic, Ralph Lauren, and Ann Taylor.

Of Course...
 

eveready1908, are y’all those people I see in the stores with the cell phones speaking with one another about the deals you've discovered on your respective aisles? :)

Thinking about Macy's but it will have to be EARLY if I decide to go for it.

We waited all year for this day to get our new computers! We woke up at 3 thinking we were ahead of the game. But my cousin, who works at circuit city, called us when we woke up and told us that the line was already across the street! They weren't opening until 5. LOL!

They had computers on sale at Best Buy for $198. Folks started to camp out there at 5:00 p.m.Thanksgiving day.:eek:

No shopping for me this year, or any year for that matter..I'm all about the internet especially with free shipping..since my fam is clear across the country!

Speaking of internet, Walmart's website shut down during the 5 hour sale. My mother was like :mad:

WOW!!!:eek: :eek:

I heard about that and read an article as well.

I went to Target around 9 that morning only to get some DVDs for my brother who informed me after the fact that he would rather have CDs. His biggest gift this year is a computer that I won in a raffle at work. :cool: :D I just have to ship that bad boy to him. :(

In Charlotte, we have Concord Mills (outlet mall) that opened at midnight Thanksgiving night. I believe another mall opened here as well that night. Folks got stampeded and all of that foolishness.:eek:

I am always surprised when people do that. I shouldn't be, though. My mother told me that she almost had to engage in fisticuffs with a chick over my cabbage patch doll back in the day. :eek:

A lot of those computers didn't even have Windows and a few other programs.

I was up at 4am with my sister waiting in line at Walmart and Best Buy. They had digital cameras and portable DVD players on sale. I picked up quite a few DVDS that were on sale for $1.88 and $3.44. By 10am I was pretty much done with all my Christmas shopping. :)

Yeah, I picked up a couple of those DVDs and the flat screen that was on sale for like...$65, give or take. Most of my shopping was completed online.

:eek: That's way cheaper than Target's sale. I only purchased 3 and 2 of them are going back, lol.

I wanted to get up early and stay in line but I couldn't do it this year. I did however manage to get a Digital Camcorder for hubby at Bestbuy for a decent price. Or at least what I thought was a decent price. :p
