Black Friday

[Jack]

I was telling my kids (adults) about black friday and how people use to camp outside the stores to get that TV or a Walkman. I never did anything to that extend but did enjoy going out early on Friday usually only the big box and hardware stores to get some deals. I kinda miss those days, we waited for the newspaper the day before to see the ads and plan accordingly.

So did anyone score anything good? I managed to get few gifts online but nothing crazy.

Nope. My wife and daughter went out, but like you said, nothing like it used to be, before internet sales. I went to the antique mall and got some old street signs for my daughter. She saw all of the signs I have in my shop and wanted some for here room... She tried to get me to take down some of mine... Nope. (I did give her a couple I hadn't hung yet though). I have slowed collected them over the years, nothing crazy.  But anyway, I got a couple just for her on Friday.

We got a tv for the new house online at BestBuy.  We used to do the Black Friday sales for 3-4 years, when my daughter was in school.  If lucky enough to snag one (and we always did), you could really get a great buy on laptops and things that our daughter needed for school/college.  After that, we stopped doing them.

I cant stand crowds, let alone standing in one in the wee hours of the morning. Never have done a black friday hunt. My sister used to love to do it. Now that the kids (my grandson and her son) are older she no longer goes out. Interestingly I was watching a program on tv last night about toys. The Cabbage Patch kids were the first toy that started the long line and rush to the stores.

I was thinking I would find something in my email about cyber monday. Hoping that legendary would have a sale going as I need seats for the TATA. No doing, I wonder if they are still busy that they dont need a sale? I think they had one around new years last year. I will hold out until then to see if anything pops up.
