Anyone doing any Black Friday shopping? My wife is going with my sister to this mall up north that will be opening up at Midnight. I told her she was crazy! I did the whole stand outside in the rain/cold one year and that was enough for me. Although I got a flyer from Walmart and they were going to have some pretty good deals on Flatscreen TVs. They had a 40" 1080P for less than $400!

I haven't went shopping day after Thanksgiving in over a decade, just too stressful. Hell I would rather pay full price than having to negotiate the traffic on the roads & in the isles. Although, with hard times upon us, maybe there won't be as many people out this year.
Anyway, gotta work anyhow.

Went Cabazon Outlet at midnight for shopping hoping to get some clothes for 70% off~

Was hoping Armani suit usually cost $1,500 will be $2~300 range...............nothing that close

It was my first time to go at such late time

Prior my leave, I looked Sigalert to view traffic area

Reaching there was swift excpet right before 5miles of traffic.......right before, a car Toyota Camry gold color in front of me hit the Honda Coupe white car at side while avoiding the front impact.

I didn't want someone hitting me behind, so I went pass and call 911 and they put me on hold~

When I try to exit, I found at least 1 mile long of car waiting to be exit and more cars on other side of the outlet parking area is fill with red brake lights............well, I went couple more exit ahead~ made u-turn going underpass~ no traffic. Parked little farther and walk.

I am really regret I went there...................such long lines of people waiting to just go into the store....can't believe my eye how many people are there.

Well, coming back after 2 hours just buying a shoes for my son......

No cars on freeway...I usually drive 80mph~90mph.....when no cars. Most other cars drive 85mph, so it wasn't that fast consider now and then passing one or two cars.

FCUK~brite light lit from nowhere...................I got log for 91mph speed ticket is what I spend most on Friday.

I am just glad I wasn't speed up to 150mph like going to Vegas with my M3 Evo........and this was my wife's Honda Accord.

Yeah my wife got in about 8:30 this morning, I don't see any shopping bags so they're probably in her Sienna hiding. I figure my time is worth money so I'm content with getting nothing. Well maybe I'll do some online shopping and take advantage of the Free shipping that some companies are dong.

PowerAxel that sucks you got a ticket!

Any insight will help~

I normally do the "camp out" thing with a couple of my buddies. We would get to a store like Circuit City or something at like 7pm on Thanksgiving night and stay until we get into the store at like 6am. Its pretty fun but the sales this year didnt seem all that great.

I did some online shopping on the bfads.net site and 2 weeks before I got a 42" Panasonic 1080p plasma for $807 SHIPPED to my house. The TV alone sells for $1299. Then if you buy local even at a couple hundred off that you have to pay sales tax. This was out of state so I didnt have to pay sales tax and I got a in home 3yr warranty for $99 so the total was like $906 shipped to my house.

Then Thanksgiving morning I got a Garmin NUVI 205 shipped to my house for $119 off of Best Buy.com as a online sale only.

I got the 2 things I wanted this year and didnt have to be out in the cold and stay up all night. w00t w00t!

yeh i went to best buy for their $99 19" lcd for my mom and that was it. I woke up at 7am and rolled in and out in 15 min. 10 of which was spent waiting in line to pay. There was hardly any "door buster" deals worth the time waiting outside imo. I was hoping to find a 32" for around $300 but everyone had them for $400 which isn't any cheaper then they normally are on sale.

Oh i went with my gf to old navy and bought a crap load of clothes for 50% off. jeans and khakis for under $20 is awesome not to mention i bought a couple casual dress sweaters and some slippers to boot!

Im keeping my eyes open the next week or so for online deals. I want another 22" for a 3-monitor setup for my design computer and I want to start buying some parts for my gen coupe lol :)
