Anyone wonder if some of these "sales" are real? I suppose there are millions of people shopping, but everytime I find a good price on something I want to buy, it's out of stock!

Nancy, for the last couple years I've been doing all my shopping online also. It is extremely convenient.

Rick, that's why I like to do my shopping online. I don't shop much anyway, but if I buy something at a store like Circuit City or Best Buy, I just order it online and pick it up at the local store. I think it also depends when you go. Those 3 or 4 hour teasers are crazy, but I understand people got some great bargains. I didn't see a lot of people shopping around here, but I also didn't go out at 5 in the morning to shop.

I agree with Jim...saving a few bucks isn't worth an Emergency Room visit.

I worked at Wal-Mart as a bicycle assembler while I was going to college following my retirement from the Navy. The most popular toy at that time was the Furbie (remember those?). I was locked in the store (all by myself) overnight to build extra bikes. I put some Aerosmith on the radio and cranked it up to get myself motivated, and by the time the manager showed up at 5 am, I had built 80 bikes. I went to the cafeteria at the front of the store for a cup of coffee, and I could see a crowd of pe... [ More ]

Good luck. People are lining up already from what I've been told. Lots of online deals too, but they're sold out very quickly.

I'm kinda lucky with the numbers and all MY (ones in my name) credit cards have -0- balances. I broke down and ordered 4 big items online from Toy r Us. I thought "I ain't trying to be hauling big packages tomorrow and so what if I MIGHT save some money. Because they have special items on sell and the toy market took a big hit with that lead. I went for convenience. But I'm gonna get a Wii with my next 50 straight hit and it might happen today in California. Good Luck and... [ More ]

I know what you mean. I can't afford to blow money (it will all be on plastic) and I keep saying "oh, just one more number!!" I got 3/5 in Fant 5 for $9 and 4/5 would have been around $800.

I'm trying not to buy stuff I don't need, but it all looks so good. Some of those stores are opening at 4 a.m. The Wii is what I want. Come on another 50 cent straight hit online.

PepBoys has a Mio 220 GPS for $78, about 1/2 of the other sales prices, although I've read it's not a great GPS device. The Garmin Nuvi is also on sale for a great price. All the ones with text to voice, so you hear the street name, are over $200. There is one online for $159 (never heard of the brand, but it comes with an AC wall charger only which doesn't make sense to me. The only reason I would buy one is if I need to do extensive traveling for hours. Anyway, the big difference... [ More ]
