I'm still checking out the ads and haven't decided which electronics store I will hit first.

I do know I will be heading over to Home Depot sometime in the a.m to get the 5ft. fiberglass ladder for $19

    Me, I'm hitting Staples first and hitting Staples last. Only store that has anything I want/need.

    I didn't find anything in the ads this year that I just had to have. Last year was the first time I ever did the 5 am waiting at the door thing. We hit Walmart and then Best Buy - it was NUTS - but I enjoyed it just for the experience alone. People are CRAZY.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    That's a hell of deal, in every sense. You figure an 8 inch sub for $100, and 4 Polk sats with a center for another Franklin? No brainer for your bedroom system, or hell, your main system if it suits you.

    Hell yeah Russ

    Also, the CC ad says price is available 11/22 - 11/24. So this could be an easy online purchase while sippin' some coffee at the computer tomorrow morning

    Ok. i'm not usually one to get caught up in the hype of black Friday.. I did it once many years ago.. but it's a madhouse at 5am when the doors open to many stores.

    I just saw on TV that JC Penney is going to open up at 4 freakin' AM!! :eek::eek::eek: sorry, but that's TOO early.

    So anyone going to claw their way to a store on Friday?

    I"m shopping for a laptop computer.. so if one is available for a awesome price.. i may go check it out and stand in line at 5 freakin' am too. :confused:

    I'll pay more just to avoid the crowds. Most all my Xmas shopping is done, just a few more online things to get.

    I stay home and safe on BF.

    You really think you will get all that? Our Staples is always out of stock on any good deals they have in the regular weekly sales flyer, let alone black Friday. I don't even bother with them anymore.

    Of course at the front door, because they hate their jobs just as much as they hate the store....but they need to do it because social security doesn't pay enough to live anymore.

    The guy at the door at mine is really nice, but if you knew him working there he would occasionally walk over to the service desk where i was and be like "I hate this #(@(ing place, the customers, the management." The guy was hilarious like that yet he'd always greet you nice at the door with a shopping cart to put your junk in. :D
