2nd_city_saint787 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 First and foremost Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Who's going out Black Friday shopping?? I'm going for the first time and would like some advice from the masses. I'll be going to the Tiger Direct in Hoffman Estates. I'm an Indiana boy and never knew Tiger Direct had an actual store (I've ordered stuff online from there a lot). Anyway, will a place like that have a super long line? Doors open at 5am, what time would you suggest getting there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have, but only because I read the small print on the deal I was going for. TigerDirect had a 5 dollar tablet (See technology thread for problems with my current tablet) after a 50 dollar mail in rebate buttt you had to get an 80 dollar Mcafee security subscription in order to get the rebate. I'm interested in keeping this thread alive to hear some wild stories though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 All the stores opening on Thanksgiving has definitely taken a major dent into black friday. No where I went today was overcrowded, dont think sports authority even had the full 80 people standing outside at open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My normal route to work at 7am takes me past a Meijer and a Kohl's, plus several other stores/restaurants. I Intentionally took a different route this morning to avoid that area, so I don't know how busy it was then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked up a few things on Fanatics and on Amazon, including Shadow of Mordor for $25 on the PS4. Very happy for the few things I bought, all during a "work" day.

LittleHurt05 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 My hotel out here is right next to a Super Target. Drove home last night around 8:30 and the parking lot was packed to the brim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Visited Target last night. Their Target mobile computer systems went down. I think after returning something they wound up writing me a credit card refund worth $50 for my time. Wound up at Verizon store. Hello first new phone in 3.5 years.

Jenksismyhero Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I bought the Lego Movie for $3.99 (7 something with s/h). That was the extent of my black friday/cyber monday shopping. I didn't really see any "must have" deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Directv doesnt recognize the brand, though, so I cannot program my remote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can then have a totally, totally different experience. I will never go back to the 70-80 inch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
