I have to tell you that I am NOT a Black Friday shopper. I much prefer shopping from my computer and being done with it. I don't have young children to buy for anymore (my son is in his mid 20's), so I really have NO reason to be waking up at an ungodly hour and standing in line (getting cranky) only to find that they're out of what I've waiting for.
NO THANK YOU.
But, I DO understand that in this awful economy that saving money on gifts is VERY important. So, I thought I'd look over the Black Friday ads and see what looked worth buying.
Need a computer?
The best deal seems to be the $350 laptop packaged with the Canon 3 in 1 printer at Best Buy.
Oh, & in case you hadn't heard - they're having a SECRET online sale as well (shoot, did I just tell a secret?)
Wii?
wigix has 10 of them available at 12:01 on Thanksgiving morning for only $149 each - hey, it's worth a try. You must be a registered wigix user, and you can sign up NOW!
As I look over the ads, one of my LEAST favorite stores actually has the more interesting ad - Wal-Mart. Here's what I'm seeing
Magnavox Blu-Ray player - $128
Garmin Nuvi 200 GPS - $97
But, still nothing for me...
