Anyone getting up early to hang out at a store for some great deals? This year there doesn't seem to be too many amazing deals, but you never know. I've given up going to Fry's electronics, Bestbuy(worstbuy), and Compusa because they have thousands of people fighting for stuff. Staples don't have as many good deals but usually aren't so busy.

Walmart might be having a 80gb PS3 with 10 bluray movies for 500...secret in store special on Saturday thats calling out to me..but 500 is just soo much for a gaming console.

So anyone camping out?

the macy's website is actually making you wait to enter while other customers finish up shopping.

Nah I didnt bother to wake up early and go....some of the stores that I went to were supposed to finish their sales around 1, but they let it go on to about 3

I wish someone would go to Fry's for me and get me just one thing that I really want....if its on sale

And I'll pay for it, too: I'm just looking for a delivery person

Fry's never seem to have a good sale when I want it to!

I went to work and earned me some money..it was far more satisfying that standing in line with a bunch of rabid shoppers.

I over slept I really wanted to get online for those laptops at best buy, but they only had twenty per store

I had to work, 730-4pm but after work I did a little shopping.

The sales sucked this year.

I went to Best Buy at three thirty am but the vouchers for their Doorbuster laptops had already been handed out. So we waited in line anyway because we were looking for a flat screen tv. Once I got into the store I realized that there were a couple other decent laptop deals, so I picked this one up. Got extremely lucky, the line inside the store for computers was like 3 hrs long but a little talk with the manager got me and this other lady brownie points/treatment.

HP dv6407nr Laptop Package with Anti-virus Software, Mouse, Case & Printer ($410.97 Instant Savings)

And I got a 26 inch flat screen TV.

Alhamdulillah, I've never really been the type to chase after sales at all so this was my first and last time waking up in the middle of the night for something cheap, most likely.

We went to Macys at like 7 am cause it was right across the Best Buy and it wasn't as crazy as I expected. I guess the sales weren't as great this year. I heard that from a lot of people.
