Melissa: They might. Actually other retailers might have them too but you just have to watch the flyers that go around since they have new offers every year. If you really want a good deal, be prepared to wait in line though.

Ann: I wanted that $229 laptop from Best Buy also!!! $99 for a camera and picture frame is a good deal since those picture frames are usually $200+. Good for you that you were able to find something that you really wanted

I don’t want to line up overnight either but my fiancee really wanted to. Good thing I convinced her that it would be useless to line up unless you went there at dinner time the night before and wait!

Carrie Anne: Yup the laptop!! I bet it was the first time to go at best buy! Yeah I have a story about always prices always going down and then having to return the thing for money back so maybe I should make a post about it. Stay tuned

I went to 4 places, Sears, Menards, Joann Fabrics and Home Depot. I spent $125 at Sears, $60 at Menards, $25 at Joann’s and we actually got cash back at Home Depot (my husband got the 4 pack Ryobi for the great sale and returned the 2 pack he bought for $100 3 weeks ago and got actually cash back for it). So, it was A-OK.

Missed out on the laptop too.

I went but what I really went for was gone by the time I got there. I refuse to camp out overnight like some did. I’m too old for that! I missed laptops for $229 but I got a great deal on a digital camera bundled with a digital frame for $99. My camera bit the dust awhile back and all I had was my cell phone for pics. I also got tachie gifts for my son and daughter, so I came out alright money-wise, spending just around $200.

I’ll do the rest of my shopping online using coupon codes and free shipping offers.

Invest with Dax: Hmm. That’s a good way to stop yourself from shopping

I stopped getting the sale paper. Guess what I have no desire to go for any “special” shopping days anymore.

The easiest way to ween off sales/marketing -driven shopping is to throw away the salespaper.

Dwayne: Hmm. You must also be around Southern California! I bet the Cabazon outlet around Palm Beach, CA would be very busy.

Double Journey: Good for you! I’m sure you will be wealthy in no time if you can be frugal through Black Friday
