    Does anyone go to these on the boards? I just recently started looking but nothing is out there on the internet yet. I was never a good person with the cyber one (where you shop online for cheap prices only) I usually just did black friday at stores.

    Yeah, I remember that story. That was crazy.

    I don't go anywhere near the stores on Black Friday. I certainly am not going to wake up at 5 in the morning, which is when it seems the stores start the sales, to go out and buy something that will be the same price the week before Christmas. I guess I can kind of see people wanting to get some popular gift for their kid, but I've tried not to ever feed into that.

    I do go online though. Amazon is my big place to shop. They do the free shipping (plus, there's not tax). A lot of the other places offer pretty good discounts. I go to trusted sites, though.

    Well guess they didn't want me over there at there forum. I posted saying hello new here. I logged on today to read reply. I am banned rofl.. I emailed admin from email and website. Nothing. Then figure Log onto a friends account at his house, asking for reason for this account being banned when it was only 1 post made by it and it was to say hello lol. Anyways I then get msg when I go back to try to log in saying the whole IP is banned now.. LoL wow they woke up on wrong side or something.. wth

    edit - hope the website does crappy this year and gets introuble more and sewed by stores.

    i don't even go into town anytime close to those days.. Even in a small town, it is nuts.... I am in BED at 5 am, not waiting for a store to open! rolleyes

    Hey silas, I agree with you... They are not going to do much business like that, are they? They banned the whole IP? That could be a LOT of people;)
    yeah, someone got up on the wrong side of the bed, for sure LOL

    Sounds like a good place to stay away from, Silas... I doubt if anyone would complain here if you said hello ;)

    Well, obviously your post was extremely offensive. Really. Don't you know how inappropriate it is to use the word "deals" in your first forum post!?!?! :p roflmao

    Absolutely... How did I miss that word "deals"? Yup, all in how it is said, for sure ;)

    I have found the prices on Black Friday to be the best of the season. I found 2 years ago that instead of standing in line with smelly people after trudging through cold weather, Staples.com was the answer. I usually hit up Staples, or at 6 AM drop some family member at Sears, then off to Ace Hardware for 7 AM deals....

    Some stores have online prices same as B&M and some stores started the week before last year- WalMart and BestBuy come to mind.

    This year the budget looks to be about 80% cut though...... :cry

    There are two forums for the online discussion. I am a member of each...:-D
