Poll: After T-Giving Shopping

AKA2D '91 · #1 12-02-2003, 09:41 PM

Who will admit to waking up in the weeeee hours of the morning (4, 5, 6 AM) to catch the bargains at your favorite store last Friday?

If you will admit to this, what bargains did you find?

AT 9AM I went to Radio Shack THINKING that they would still have the progressive scan DVDs for $39.99 ($10 debate). Unfortunately, some of the after T-giving pros beat me to the punch.

I only went shopping because I couldn't get my car fixed.

At Off Fifth, I picked up a light blue Ellen Tracy jacket that was originally $395 for $37.50 and tax. I haven't yet thought of Xmas presents for the fam.

I will admit.

As sick as I was, I got my behind up at 5:30 to go to Target. They had this Lexmark 3-in-one printer for one $49!

Lord knows I needed a new printer and this one was a steal. Thank goodness, I didn't have to push or nothing. I just calmly walked in, got my printer and check out.

back in the bed by 6:30.

I went in the afternoon and hit Banana Republic, the Gap and the Guess Outlet. 30% all items at all of those stores.

Too bad I didnt think to go looking for a DVD player, but I ain't tryin to get run over by no crazy Walmart people for a crappy 30 dollar DVD player.

So no regrets. It was GREAT.

Up @ 4:30 am at the Mart.... we were there very early my husband was like we are here too early! I got my digital camera for $99, and a 128mb memory card for $23
I am not sure how great a deal it is on the Kodak4310 3.2 MP camera, but it seemed good, and I am happy. I know now that the $23 memory card was a steal.

Yes, I got up at 4:00 am after having gotten off work only hours earlier to go to Wal-Mart to get the $11 DVD's and the $79 Game Cube. It got crazy but nobody trampled anybody and I got what I came for, put it in layaway and left!

that camera seems an EXCELLENT deal, i'm considering ordering it from wal-mart online. Most 3 megapixel cameras are going in the +300 range.

Thanks for the info I feel even better about my purchase

I admit it. I was at Wal-Mart with my father to pick up the $500 HP computer for my nephew. Then I went to Target and made a couple of purchases I was pleased with.

It was pretty calm to me...but I was in Arizona, not LA. Wouldn't attempt in Cali...Cali people are rude (Well, alot of them are)

I will confess I got up to go shopping. But when I got to Walmart @ 6:15am the line was out the door!

I just knew I wasn't going to get out of there in enough time to get to work at 8:15am.

I also went to Radio Shack for the $9.99 Telezapper and $5 personal organizer!

I was at Strawbridges at 6 trying to get an early bird gift card (they passed out all 300 by 6:05a)....from there I went to Target and picked up the Godfather DVD set.

I was only shopping for clothes but I definitely had my butt up and waiting at 8:00 for Loehmann's to open. I did some good shopping there, but all in all, Black Friday is not when I shop. Clothes and accessories really go on sale the day after Christmas. I'll be at the mall at 7:00 on 12/26.
