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.

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. 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.

I was one of the people who snarked that "Green Friday is for amateurs. The pros shop all the time." And I proved it this weekend. I haven't yet got into gift-giving mode, but I found some nice deals at Forth & Towne, and a secondhand joint (Michael Kors cashmere for $55).
