i think the biggest joke is "we'll pay tax for you!" which just means its 8.25% off.

 

Overall that may be the case, but that's the same as EVERY year. The only real deals on BF are the ones in the ads, the crazy ones. The deals on most merchandise comes after BF, especially on Boxing Day online (monday).

 

Its ridiculous. Even more ridiculous are the lunatics who camp out a day in advance to save a few hundred on a thousand+ purchase.

Pure madness.

 

Take it from me black friday is a joke. Some of our cameras were raised in price last week and for black friday the price went back to normal. I work at circuit city btw

 

well if you do save 400 bucks for staying out for 4 hours wouldn't you? unless you make $100 a hour.

 

This is exactly what I'm talking about. I think everyone is doing this. Prices were less 2 weeks ago.

 

I'm not that big of a consumerist. I value my mental health and low stress more than a nominal savings on something I probably don't really need, but manipulated into feeling that I do. Besides, there are good savings year round for the savvy consumer, I don't need to buy into the holiday hype machine and go insane in the process.

"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy **** we don't need."

 

I'm going to the range for free at Chabot and will be shooting instead of wasting time and more money then ammo cost on pointless things I do not need. My family is doing it simple this year, day after Christmas we are going to Oakhurst then travelling to Yosemite and enjoying the outdoors and our family being together

you people dont understand black friday.

 

Depends on the store

At work our black friday sales are actually insane sales. Nearly every item on the sale is well below cost.

 

i know best buy has some crazy prices on tv's. I like black friday, it's a good day to get some great dealk

 

That took me forever to setup.

Seriously, the prices we posted are down right absurd.

 

Ive never gone out on BF, but I'll be hitting up the Radioshack down the street. PS3 Dualshock 3 controllers for half price, Im in.

 

Heads up on the gift cards, make sure the store will still be around after Christmas, no refunds

 

I really don't think that sales are going to be nearly as crazy this year. This is the first year that travel is down since 2002.
