Black Friday...what did you buy?

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.
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.

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.
Oh yeah, and Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls and Cloverfield on bluray...
Add to that Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3 for 360 and RE4 for wii
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).
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.

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).
I may have to get one and an external hard drive. Good place to keep some files you don't want to get out.
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?
or plastic explosive?
and some crystal meth while were at it.
heck i wonder if you could put a key of coc in it.

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.
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.

3G iPhone 16GB Black $299 for sister-in-law, 8GB iPhone Nano $138 for niece, and accessories for both. What was I thinking... LOL
WOW!! That Apple Store looks chaotic!!
