Figured since it's that time of year, we could consolidate a lot of the upcoming sales or the "wants" here in this thread, as well as share any Black Friday stories or banter.
I've been doing Black Friday shopping since I was 13, tagging along with my mom to brave the cold, early hours of the morning. I'm in Rhode Island, so hitting up most of the major chains in one fell swoop was readily accessible, if not hectic. As I got older I began to venture out on my own (such as senior year of high school, where I procured Furby's that I sold at a markup) and then eventually to add to my ever growing movie collection.
If anyone checks for ads early, bfads.net is pretty much my main resource, though there are others. Today the Best Buy and Sears ads were just posted. My list of wants for Black Friday thus far are:
$200 Lauren 3 piece suit at Macy's, ideally in navy since I already have a gray 3 piece suit
$7.99 Dead Island Game of the Year Edition for the XBox 360
I'll also peruse the actual ads when they come out on Thanksgiving. Now that I'm older and wiser, it's more about the clothing and houseware sales (I'm moving in with my girlfriend once my lease is up this spring, so we're on the lookout for anything to fill voids around the house). Still, there are some tempting splurges, like $400 for the Toshiba LED TV.
How about you guys? Ever do the Black Friday insanity? Any plans for this year?
