    Another good resource is www.retailmenot.com. They've got a ton of Black Friday/Cyber Monday-specific coupons for online and in-store retailers.

    depends on what time you made the order and picked it up. many have walked away with $1000 worth of merchandise for 1/5 of retail. early bird gets the worm.

    Got a 32 inch, 1080p, LG TV from BestBuy for only $250. I could have waited for a black friday deal, but I figured the savings would only be around $50-75 for a similar TV, and I didn't want to lineup early, so I'm satisfied with what I paid for.

    I still need a laptop, and I will be waiting for black friday or cyber monday for that. Please post the leaked ads for the good laptops once they appear!

    I see an Asus touchscreen laptop for $250. Wish it listed the specs!

    Does anyone know when full ads from stores like Best Buy and Staples are usually leaked?

    Reason I ask is because there's a laptop at Best Buy I'm very interested in and considering buying. They have a 14 day return policy and I was gonna see if in those 14 days a better deal on a laptop leaked out.

    Sorry dude. That sucks.

    I worked retail for 25 years and recently, this greedy intrusion into a

    NATIONAL HOLIDAY

    has gotten worse. In fact, it's one of the reasons I got out of retail.

    I guess the ability to fight crowds in order to MAYBE buy a crappy TV for $249 on Thanksgiving means more these days than letting families get together.

    Seems like they're out a bit earlier this year. They have a really cheap one for $178.

    Yeah I have to agree, I just don't understand why they've cut into Thanksgiving. It was fine the way it was. I'm content with shopping online on Black Friday after the last few years.

    Nothing much?! $20 2TB external drives. They had 42' and 55' inch 3DTVs are around $200 and $300 respectively. Quite a few people were able to get their TVs by store pick up, before Walmart caught on.

    Cool. Thanks.

    I would like a good blu ray player with ethernet and wifi, and both Best Buy and Target have the same one (Sony BDPS3100) for $54.99 as a Doorbuster. Think I might bite on that. But damn, is Best Buy opening at 6:00pm on Thanksgiving? And Target at 8:00pm?
