Why would he post that comment if he really didn't save that much?

But in general we do 90% of our x-mas shopping on that day and save tons! The itmes the people on our lists want are in the ads, we go get them early, you go back in the store later that same day and the prices are marked right back up! It's pretty simple to figure out.

The biggest things I can remember buying on Black Friday are a treadmill that was normally $1300 marked down to $700, a TV that was priced $899 down from $1299 the week before and some POS laptop for about $300 (but it got the kid through her first two years of college before everything had to be Apple). I may venture out to a Wal-Mart (I know, I'm the devil) this Friday and try to buy a set of tires. They're $74 each rather than $159 so I can save a few hundred bucks and I need them anyway, so why not? Last edited by Old Dog; 11-22-2011 at 01:38 PM.. Reason: cuz I cain't speel |

Two years ago (I think it was two) I saw two women get in a hell of a fight. Wal-Mart had some GPS units on sale and I though I would get one for each of my kids since they didn't have them.
There was a box with roughly 150 of them in the aisle and these two heifers were in front of it guarding it like there were only two of them and they were made of solid gold. When 5:00 comes one of them tears into the box and apparently elbowed the other and the fists started to fly. I just watched it for about 30 seconds or so in disbelief and a sweet looking little old (probably mid 60s) lady taps me on the shoulder and says something along the lines of, "Those two bitches have lost their minds, they aren't worth all of that. Oh would you mind handing me two of them". I couldn't help but laugh, so I handed her two, got mine and got the heck away from there. |

It's the erasure of any and all accomplishments modern society has been able to achieve over the last 200 years.
Black friday is greed, violence, and super angry bulbous women of lower income jostling for cheap $#it that might work for 15 months. At best.

Speaking of shopping....
I don't really think this deserves it's own thread, but last night I stopped by the local mall to pick up a watch battery, and afterward the wife and decided to wander around a bit to walk off dinner. On the second level in an area of the mall we rarely go to is an Abercrombie & Fitch store. I was still a good 20 yards away from it when the smell hit. Seriously, what is that ****ing cologne/perfume stench? I noticed the same noxious odor at another Abercrombie store in a different mall a few months ago. Good God, it's horrible. Obviously, since I'm not a 13-year-old girl who wants to look like a 20-year-old prostitute, I don't shop there, but how on earth could anybody find that smell appealing? If I worked somewhere near that store and had to smell that every day I think I'd firebomb the place. Yuck. ![]() It seems so ironic that a store with a name that sounds like a stodgy English law firm sells that kind of clothing and smells like a French whorehouse. |
