Black Friday...what did you buy?

[MattG]

I'm happy to say I did today's shopping from the comfort of my couch :) Anybody else find good deals?

I bought:


Apple TV -- for my parents, bought it from Apple Online. I think they'll really enjoy it.


Asus 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor -- for my dad, Newegg had them for $139, no shipping, plus $50 mail in rebate! My mom and I are going halfsies on it.


Linksys WAP for my sister/her fiance -- they both have laptops but can only use one at a time with the cable. On sale for $40 at Newegg, no shipping!


"Mario Kart Wii with Wii Wheel" -- for my cousin


...and for me, some early Christmas presents. A Panasonic DMP-BD35K Blu-Ray Player (from Amazon, lowest price I could find), and a Western Digital "My DVR" SATA Expander Hard Drive for my TiVo.

[Rodimus Prime]

nothing for me. I start my shopping next week maybe.

[jessica.]

Technically it wasn't a black friday thing, but in speaking to my mom last night she had requested a couple of cookbooks and a cookbook holder so I ordered that, a couple of DVDs for dad and a couple of DVDs for myself. Nothing spectacular. I don't do the 5 am BS, I did it once and that was enough to last my entire lifetime. :D

[MattG]

I don't do the 5 am BS, I did it once and that was enough to last my entire lifetime. :D

Yeah same here. Nothing's worth getting up that early for on a day off :)

[yg17]

Absolutely nothing.

[mkrishnan]

I don't do the 5 am BS, I did it once and that was enough to last my entire lifetime. :D

I did it once, also, with a friend who loves that kind of thing. My personality is such that, I find it really entertaining as a social event, but I wouldn't do it for the benefit of the sales.

I did make three purchases yesterday, and today, however... although predominantly for me. :o I bought new earphones for my iPhone yesterday, as well as a Kenneth Cole suit on discount at Overstock, and then I bought a mixture of a present and something for me (to distribute the shipping costs!). So my spending for the week is done. :o

Although that Newegg display deal is pretty good. I'm half tempted to buy an LCD myself and replace the awful display (CRT! :( ) in my office with it, just to spare myself of being subjected to that horrible thing for the rest of the year. :o

I don't really exchange presents that much... my family doesn't really get or give them. They only did it for Christmas to humor me as a kid, and now they don't even do it for birthdays. I do need to get a couple more presents, though.

[ucfgrad93]

So far, I haven't bought anything. However, my wife and daughter are out trying to stimulate the economy the best they can.;)

[Steve1496]

I braved a WalMart black friday. Got there around midnight, and waited until 5AM for the 50" HDTV and Blu Ray player. The doors opened at 5AM and it was a mad dash--you had to run to the items to save one. Others who cut the line from the parking lot charged into the line with shopping carts. I did get my TV and Blu Ray player, though! Afterward I headed to Kohls for some clothes for others and Christmas decorations which was much more organized. So in total:
50" TV, Blu Ray Player, WALL-E Blu Ray, electric drum set, bluetooth headset, clothing, decorations, prince of persia, and Fallout 3.

Happy Black Friday!
Steve

[zioxide]

Black Friday is pointless. I don't know why anyone would want to get up at 5am and go stand in huge lines to save a few bucks. Besides, with the economy in the shitter, most stores will end up having more sales this year the week before christmas when they realize they're still in the red.

[mkrishnan]

^^ I've never really gone for any Black Friday deals, but I do have to say, I bought my last television as a Cyber Monday deal, and it did beat pricing for comparable televisions for ... something like the next 18 months, which is fairly impressive to me at least.

I'll be curious to see how much incentivizing retail does to try to salvage the season. In the past, even during bad years (like after 9/11), it seems to me they still showed off their deepest discounts today.

[Iscariot]

I bought some pasta for dinner, and some burgers for the weekend.

[FireEater]

I just bought a Dell laptop for my daughter to take to college next year.

Of course I did it online as I am not dumb enough to actually go to a store on Black Friday. I'll leave that to the kooks. :)

[jessica.]

I know people who have made this tradition really. I mean, hey, why mock it right? I just pesonally don't find any entertainment in it. I get up early every other day and I'm satisfied not standing in a line. I'd like to make friends, but 5 AM, dark, cold, and tired ... not so much the scene for me to be peppy and fun.

[apsterling]

It's a beauty.
I haven't gotten to play it or tune it and my kit cause my dad's working from home, but it sounded wonderful in the store.

[LeahM]

I went this year, first time, and we got a TV 32" something.. And I bought gaming chairs for my nephew, they were originally like 100-something and I got them for 30. So I think that was pretty good, it wasn't as bad as people were telling me, everyone told me that people will jump your cart (and possibly you) to get what they want. It was just very crowded. But i usually stay up pretty late anyway so I figured I'd go this year. It was fun, and I got some christmas shopping done so I'm happy.

[maestro55]

I got up this morning with the intent to only go to Sam's Club and have a muffin and get a set of the Sony Noise Canceling Headphones. Ended up deciding to go to WalMart and bought a couple of 2GB SD Cards (the girlfriend needed one for her digital camera and I have a thumb drive that I can stick SD cards into and I needed one for personal stuff at work) at $7 a piece. I could have gotten them cheaper online but I was there and got them. Also got Borat for $2, a pretty good bargin. Had to get some batteries, and WalMart was running a pretty good deal on Duracell Batteries. Stopped by Target since it is on the way back to the girlfriends place and looked around, just got a couple of DVDs (Juno for the girlfriend and a Tripe Feature DVD for me with Something about Mary, Shallow Hal and The Girl Next Door). Will go to Best Buy this afternoon since each year they always have a ton of DVDs left over after the sale is over that they are trying to get rid of and the Girlfriend wants to see what they have since she didn't get up with me this morning.

This is only my second Black Friday, I did it last year for the first time. I am a shop-a-holic so it isn't healthy for me or my wallet but I enjoy it.

I actually didn't go nuts this year like last year because I left the big bills at home and didn't get out any plastic.

[FireEater]

I love that movie Juno. Even though it is a chic flick.

[count chocula]

I've never been out on Black Friday. I was hoping to have a shot at Amazon's $200 ps3 +littlebigplanet and other things deal, but I didn't get "randomly selected". Oh well.

[ipodtouchy333]

Just a couple things....

[themoonisdown09]

I bought all these from the comfort of my couch:


purple iPod Nano 16GB for my mother-in-law
NCAA Football '09 for PS3 for myself
the first season of My Name Is Earl for my dad


We're decorating our Christmas tree right now instead of being out in the traffic.

[kwood]

I bought an EyeTV Hybrid for $51 off from the Canadian online Apple Store.

To think I just about bought it on Monday for regular price :).

[2056]

Wal-Mart:

-xbox 360 guitar hero bundle for nephews
-blu ray player for dad
-various DVDS

and I also purchased some items for myself since I couldn't resist the great deals:
-The Office Season 2 & 3
-Seinfeld Season 5
-FM Transmitter and charger for the ipod

[nfl46]

I didn't buy anything. I don't have the money to afford anything right now.

[BlackSnow]

32 inch LCD and Blue-ray player.

[shfreelance]

BluRay Player and a couple of movies... Mom's going to be pissed, oh well!

[mkrishnan]

Just a couple things....

I finally watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall (also unrated/extended) a couple of weeks ago. So is the core difference with the unrated version that he shows off his penis what... like eight separate times? :p Would be the movie I grab the first time I try to take my Eee to watch a movie on the train. Had to nix that plan fairly quickly. Good movie, though. :D

[akonradi]

This one has more to do with the fact that I have the day off than the fact that it's black Friday. But I did buy it today, so it qualifies.

[Macky-Mac]

gas for the car!!! and what a deal!!!

I filled it up for less than $30. Just a couple of months ago it took almost $60 to fill it up!

[drakeshipway]

My mom and I bought 2 iPod nanos, 1 for my dad, and 1 for my brother.
And she also got Apple TV for me, for christmas. :)

yay apple black friday sales in canada! :apple:

[Sideonecincy]

I work at Sears so I went in at 4am this morning and worked until 4pm. I am one of the few people that enjoy working black friday because it is sorta fun.

I read on Gizmodo today about a Wal-Mart employee who was trying to keep the crowd back before store opening and ended up getting trampled to death.

It is scary to see how mad people get when the thing they want is not in stock.

I actually haven't even seen the whole thing yet, I really want to see the ending! So which one do you think is better, the regular or unrated one?

Yeah, it might have been a little awkward watching that on a train lol...

[iJohnHenry]

Someone bought the farm, but I don't think that's what you were looking for.

http://www.thespec.com/News/BreakingNews/article/473859

[Gray-Wolf]

In a word, I DON'T. Not worth the hassles, crowds, and foolishness.

[Lord Blackadder]

I bought my dad a 20" iMac at the Legacy Village Apple Store. Huge crowds, not a nice experience but I'm only home for a few days so this is when I have time to shop. He's been limping along with a 300MHz clam shell iBook for years now and it was high time for him to get something new!

I also picked up an 1894 M91/30 to add to my rifle collection.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/danthearcheologist/Mosin-Nagant/full.jpg

[leekohler]

Not one damn thing! I left the house with the intention to go to the gym and then shop. Well, I went to the gym only to find it closed (holiday hours :rolleyes:). Then I reach in my pocket and realize that I left my bank card at home and I've only got $15 in cash on me. Dammit! :mad: So I bought some juice at Whole Foods and came back home.

[bruinsrme]

I bought 3 12pks of diet coke, 1 12pk of coke, 5 yogurts, 5 cans of pineapple, some garlic bread, chocolates and some brocolli bites.

[11800506]

I bought a Macbook Pro through MacConnection :D as a Christmas gift for myself. I'll be finally selling my oldish HP and getting it. It will be wonderful :)

[furcalchick]

i bought a dvd/vcr recorder combo, dvd's to burn and a cd case to hold them all in to finally get done a task we put off for a while, which is getting our old vhs tapes over to dvd before they go bad (many of them are getting close to 20 years old, and may start to rapidly deteriorate), and i didn't leave my house for it, first time in a while i haven't gone out for black friday.

my folks bought a 37 inch hd ready tv for the living room, but no hdtv as of right now however.

[Whorehay]

This one has more to do with the fact that I have the day off than the fact that it's black Friday. But I did buy it today, so it qualifies.

:) Congrats. I miss mine!

[SactoGuy18]

I got myself a Logitech QuickCam Connect webcam. Works pretty well, too. :)

[iVeBeenDrinkin']

Murphy's Stout

i love whole foods. salivating just thing about it

[leekohler]

i love whole foods. salivating just thing about it

Yeah, I would have liked to have gotten a few more things too. But since I decided to leave my debit card at home, there wasn't much I could do. ;)

[noodle654]

I got a Behringer FireWire recording interface on eBay for cheap. No shopping in the stores for me...too crazy!

[FrankieTDouglas]

Three 4 gig CF cards from Ritz. After rebate, $0.

[NC MacGuy]

Tried buying a WD 750GB ext drive for $88 at Target... Yeah, right. What a freakin' mess and stores only had less than a handful.

[benlangdon]

3 sound percussion boom stands
and a piccolo jam block
out the door at $104

normally at least $160

i only went to go buy 2 stands, they were so cheap i got 3.

sooo :):):)

now i just need some things to put on the stands.

[jessica.]

Pizza. No discount, just pizza.
I did however see a 10% off everything in the store at this golf store I went to last week. I called the store and they're refunding me 10% off my purchase which was $86 so that is nice. That'll buy coffee for a week!

[abiyng87]

I went to the Apple store with the intention of looking at a new macbook for my fiance and walked out with a 24" LED Cinema Display for myself. It's beautiful. :o

Oh yeah, and Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls and Cloverfield on bluray...

[iVeBeenDrinkin']

I bought 5 $20 Starbucks gift cards for $80 at Costco. ;)

[Aea]

Newegg had some deals, ended up buying a 320GB Laptop HD and some blank DVDs. I refuse to go mad shopping when the deals aren't really that much better then what I could get every other day, add to that the crowds, no way. My silent protest is going to be having a CC bill that's about a half of what I usually end up spending.

[iVeBeenDrinkin']

I also bought this (http://www.amazon.com/Definitive-Collection-Mini-LP-Replica/dp/B001FSDP08/ref=ntt_mus_ep_wlb_dpt) Led Zeppelin Box Set.

[synth3tik]

I went to the organic co-op down the street and bought a few supplements to help me not be sicked with this stupid virus(influenza or rhino, hard to tell right now). 2 big things of black berries, some oranges, some munster and some really really heavy dark rye bread. Seriously you could beat someone to death with this bread, never mind quarters in a sock.

Then I finally gave in and got some iced coffee.

Add to that Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3 for 360 and RE4 for wii :D

[NC MacGuy]

Just purchased Office 2008 Media Edition and Elements 6 for $214 for both from Apple.

[samiwas]

http://www.thespec.com/News/BreakingNews/article/473859

This crap makes me sick. The really sad part is that the people who caused this probably haven't thought one bit about what they caused, other than getting a deal on a plasma.

I would never, ever be caught up in the bullsh** that is black friday. People are idiots.

I don't normally bother either. But I was browsing online and seen the Sony BluRay BDP-S350 for $199, usually $299 every normal day. I figured what the hell. Bought it and a HDMI cable, put it on my Capital One credit card. Witch I also think gives me an extended warranty? IDK. I feel it's a good deal, I will pay it off when the bill comes. I also bought I Am Legend on BluRay, put that on Debit. But none the less, worth the trip to Walmart and Target. Thankfully, I lived in a small town and everyone went to Orlando (45 mins away).

[techlover828]

I got a $100 starbucks gift card for $67

[iVeBeenDrinkin']

Now, I am starting to realize I bought a lot. I also bought the iPhone 3G dock from Apple for $5 off, a ratchet set and maglite from Lowe's, all 3 seasons of weeds for $35 and season 3 is on blu-ray, a 320GB WD Passport and a safe deposit box at my bank for it, a WD 1TB HDD, and the afore mentioned Starbucks gift cards, Led Zeppelin Box Set, and Murphy's Stout.

I might think of more too, the stouts are starting to get me. :o

[jessica.]

About to buy ....

How much are safe deposit boxes these days? Can we put rare guns in there (This part is a joke)?

[iVeBeenDrinkin']

How much are safe deposit boxes these days? Can we put rare guns in there (This part is a joke)?

One big enough for the WD Passport was only $20 for a year. I thought it would be around $5-7/month. Great deal.

You can put whatever you want in a safe deposit box. I have several guns in mine. (That part was a joke).

[NC MacGuy]

Three 2GB PNY flash drives for $6.99 ea.

[shfreelance]

One big enough for the WD Passport was only $20 for a year. I thought it would be around $5-7/month. Great deal.

I may have to get one and an external hard drive. Good place to keep some files you don't want to get out.

[techlover828]

Good find, where?

Easy, just used the live.com cashback which is 30% off right now. It was $95 and then 28 off with the cashback.

can you put a gun in there?
like a shotgun?:confused:
or plastic explosive?
and some crystal meth while were at it.
heck i wonder if you could put a key of coc in it.

[chainprayer]

i got an awesome deal on a memory foam mattress topper to share with my wife :p

A shotgun would not fit. Explosives and meth yes but, I'd be careful. I have no idea what a key of coc is and, I am not sure I want to.

[wakka092]

We went to Walmart to grab the $129 Blu-ray player, but they were sold out! :( I was shocked, honestly. I didn't know there were so many people aware of Blu-ray in this small town. There was a $198 one, but we decided to just wait closer until Christmas.


I did buy a 250 GB external hard drive for my dad, but not the 500 GB one for $99; they were sold out of those too. :(

[SFStateStudent]

3G iPhone 16GB Black $299 for sister-in-law, 8GB iPhone Nano $138 for niece, and accessories for both. What was I thinking... LOL :eek:

WOW!! That Apple Store looks chaotic!!

[robanga]

We were out of the house by 7:45 AM. The only tech I purchased today was a Nintendo DS in pink for my daughter. That and the special on VM Fusion online.

Lots of other non-tech items today though.

[iVeBeenDrinkin']

WOW!! That Apple Store looks chaotic!!

That Apple store looks like the one I live by on a Monday morning.

I am not going to say where I am but, I will say there is only one Apple store within 600 miles of me and, it is always packed!

I just ordered chinese.

[NEENAHBOY]

Well, I still seem to have that old one now. Playing two cellos at once is sorta difficult. Wanna buy it? ha.

[toolbox]

I didn't by anything, even on the apple store.

Blu-Ray Disc player, actually (BDP). ;)

[SFStateStudent]

Left AT&T, Right Apple :D

+1 ^^^ That's correct, AT&T = LEFT and Apple = RIGHT due to the fact that I went to both stores and spent way too much credit card...:p

[Hrududu]

Picked up a 2Gb MicroSD card for my phone for $9.99. Thats about all I could afford/need.

[okrelayer]

[iParis]

I didn't get anything but here's what my mom got me.
- eMachine with AMD Athlon 1.6GHz/2GBram/320GB HDD. $199

- Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Wii. $49
- $30 in iTunes gift cards.

My grandma

- Apple Universal Dock for iPod/iPhone. $49

That is what I know they have gotten me so far.
I don't expect any more because that's already a lot.
Curse my need to look in my mom's closet.
I'm not positive my grandma got me that stuff, but she usually gets me anything I ask for for Christmas.

[bobolm]

i forgot to wear my riot gear this morning.

[iJesus]

I didn't buy anything.

Although, it was fun to just walk around the stores.


Oh, I went to the Apple Store and checked out the new MBP.
I noticed something weird.
The new MBP has a new Energy Save icon in the system preferences menu.
Can anyone with a new MBP confirm this?

Here's the one from my early 2008 MBP:

I done a little shopping yesterday, not because it was Black Friday but because I just felt like going shopping.

Nephew: A three disc DVD set about The Rock, ~$23 at Walmart

Niece: A Dora cash register toy, $25 at Big Lots

Myself: Transformers on DVD, $6 at Walmart, and a TomTom One XL, $129 at Buy.com (free shipping and no sales tax :D)

[Beric]

Thursday morning I bought this 24" monitor (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824014173) off Newegg. Such a good deal I couldn't pass it up.

[EricNau]

An 8 GB iPod touch (from an Apple retail store) ...and way too many apps. :D

[Mord]

Mittens and a massager.

:)

[cycocelica]

Nothing. Black Friday is the worst day to even get within a 100 yard radius of malls.

[InvalidUserID]

Too much. Honestly, I don't remember all the stuff I bought though I know some jeans, clothes from BeBe, Forever 21 and Guess.

My day went like this:

12AM to 3 AM - Great Mall in Milpitas
4 AM to 5 AM - Drop off some friends, picked up others
6 AM - Valley Fair Mall/Santana Row in San Jose
8 AM - Target/Circuit City/Starbucks

Finally made it home around noon and slept until about 6PM. Whew!

[daneoni]

Nothing

[yoppie]

Absolutely nothing.

[cdcastillo]

I just bought a Dell laptop for my daughter to take to college next year...

Shame on you!!

[pimentoLoaf]

$99 MS Office 2008 Media Edition from OWC (aka MacSales.com) -- full retail version.

An acrylic see-through case for my 2g iPodTouch from Apple for a handful of dollars off the retail.

[KurtangleTN]

Well I was looking for a deal on an espresso machine but none of the ads showed any.

So after hours of searching I found a nice Saeco Aroma on eBay for $120 refurbished, used the 10% code that I got from eBay and 30% instant cashback from Live.com and the total is around $70 shipped.

Not really a black friday deal but I'm happy :D

Did most of our Christmas shopping online @ Amazon.com. Turns out we were much safer staying home -- less chance of getting trampled by greedy folks trying to get one of the two items that the store actually had at the sale price and didn't get shot at by feuding gangstas.

I'd say your chance of getting obliterated in traffic is far higher than your chance of getting trampled ;) , but I get the general point.

We (My Brother and I) got up at 4:15, and went to Best Buy. We were looking for a 46" T.V. Samsung I believe, but they were sold out :(

Nothing - because better offers are available from other retailers the other 364 days of the year. Right now, KRCS in the UK are out-doing Apples 'sale' prices.
