Black Friday

Recommended Posts

My wife has to work 10PM - 6AM Thursday night so we probably won't be going out.

 

We have gone the past few years but it seems like we find less and less to buy every year. We went looking for a TV and a computer last year but would've had to been in line on Thursday morning to have a chance at them.

I wrote this in the catch-all thread a couple weeks ago...it depends on whether you're after a "Very Good" deal or if you want the real, legit "Doorbuster" deal.

 

Most of the stores will have a handful of items that are at ridiculous prices, that they're probably selling for a loss...but they only have a handful of those. That's your best TV, your best computer, etc., in the Bestbuy ad. Those ones will often say "Minimum 10 items per store" or something like that. They're the ones you get in line on Monday for.

 

But no place wants you coming in, being willing to spend $1000, and walking away with nothing. They will have a number of very good deals on computers, TV's & such, things that they're still turning a profit on, but that aren't necessarily the "get me through the door this price is crazy" deal level. Even if you miss the top deal, they're going to have stacks and stacks of the TV for their very good deal in the back room.

I remember reading that.

 

I guess for us there's not really any "must-have" or even big-ticket things on our list. Our kids have mostly out-grown toys and are more into video games, clothes and music.

I hear that plasma TV's are suppose to drop in price by like 20% around the holidays. I was hoping to find a couple 32" for the kids rooms. I'm always looking for a deal anyway, whether it's off the back of a truck or black friday/cyber monday makes no difference to me.
