I hope it is online also. no way I will risk being trampled and stamped for the saving
lol I was just about to ask if Walmart Canada was gonna have similar deals.... and then remembered Black Friday in Canada is.... just another Friday in November. Canadian Thanksgiving was 6 weeks ago.
I don't want any of that stuff anyways, I don't bother with 720p TVs.
They might have one each at every store, like they do each year.;)
Yeah one.....Quote:

I might try online this year.Quote:

We are getting even worse deals this year. I know the economy sucks, but doesn't that mean they should be offering better deals?
/end dumb consumer rant.
looks good. i really didnt think last year's sales were anything great.
Well Target and Wal-mart have a 32" TV for under 250 bucks. That is the best deal on a TV this Black Friday even if the brands and that special.Quote:

I hate Black Friday with every fiber of my being. Seven years of retail, and more particularly, three years at Circuit City did that for me.
Honestly though, even if I celebrated Christmas, Black Friday deals are the gift that says, "I was too cheap to get you a thoughtful gift, so I bought whatever cheap crap they were horking on Black Friday."
Then again, I think Black Friday represents the true spirit of Christmas - a big, greedy, money fueled circus.
Dirty secrets of Black Friday 'doorbusters'

From article:
and...Quote:
A quick scan through a few of this year's Black Friday circulars show quantities as low as a "minimum of 5 per store" on some models of large plasma and HDTVs and popular brands of home appliances such as a washer-dryer pair.
Should Black Friday deal hunters feel cheated? Yes they should, say some retail experts.
"It's a sleazy practice," said Craig Johnson, retailing expert and president of retail consulting group Customer Growth Partners.
"I am old school," said Johnson. "If a retailer is advertising a juicy deal and they are not prepared to have in sufficient quantity, don't advertise it. Or give consumers a raincheck."
I have to fully agree with this.Quote:
Edgar Dworsky, a consumer advocate and editor of Consumer World, agreed with Johnson.
"C'mon guys. Give me a break," said Dworsky. "How can you be the size of a retailer like Sears and only get a minimum of five per store, yet devote big space in your circular to advertise that deal?
If you can't have solid quantity of product at one store like a TV slashed 40%, do not sell it.
Leader Ads - aka get em in the store so we can bait n switch has been around for ever:eek:
I really need a new TV. And that means I really need a new console. Which means I really need some games for said console. And I need a new couch. Man, I hate Black Friday.

Just buy one thing and wait until the next Black Friday shows up;)
You might try to do it the way my brother did one year get a lot of relatives to help you and send them to the various departments to get what you need, good luck.Quote:

there's like great deals everyday. and the ads I see for black friday is not really any better then stuff I see regular that pops up on those deal sites.
and as for BF. I would never go wait in front of a store ever again. not worth the hassle and waste of time if I can't order it online. First is the "limited quantities" scam that the store pull. and deal with bunch of people stampeding. I would be royally pissed if I waited on line for over an hour in the cold and then find out the item is out of stock
I wouldn't mind staying up late for the start of the sales online. but definitely not going to wait in front of a store like the rest of those idiots.
Time is money. the time and cost in money for gas/toll it's not worth it IMHO.
