5KidzRUs Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I drove an hour and a half to the nearest 'store'. It was packed. Check out lines were horrendous and cashiers were overwhelmed with sales and coupons and errors. I waited in one line that didn't move for 15 minutes before I switched to the next line and was able to check out in about half and hour. The line I was originally in had barely budged and a woman was livid because the cashier was trying to void her large purchase for a THIRD time and ring it up. Again. My 'deals' were two Swarovski crystal pens for $20 each (is that even a deal???) and an XBOX game for my daughter for $10 off. Sooooooooo, where are the ONLINE deals???

Vanna Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Ouch! That experience sounds awful (so sorry). Confirms my decision to continue to stay at home on Black Friday. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I have not walked into a store on a Black Friday since I worked in Macy*s in college -- like 1972 or thereabouts. Sorry -- but, at least you know you will never do that again. I will start a new thread regarding where I am getting my best ever online deals.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Sounds miserable. I've never done Black Friday and I don't plan to in the future. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Oh, ick :( :grouphug: It feels like the Black Friday deals were not really deals at all this year. Is it just me? Or is it just that there's nothing we want so badly? I'm going to buy a Canon Rebel T2i, but Amazon has had every Black Friday "deal" I could find beaten by at least $40 for weeks, and I won't have to pay $50 in tax to boot! I'll admit to being tempted by the "treasure hunt" mentality, but ultimately, I was too exhausted last night to even consider doing anything about it. I give you a lot of credit for sticking it out in the crowds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I haven't been shopping on Black Friday in years. I think there are better deals to be had online without the trauma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5KidzRUs Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Oh, ick :( :grouphug: ... I'm going to buy a Canon Rebel T2i ... My daughter just bought this camera. Now she is eyeballing lenses for it :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 My daughter just bought this camera. Now she is eyeballing lenses for it :001_smile: I am trying to restrain myself until I get a feel for the thing. Trying...TRYING! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
