I partook in my first day-after-thanksgiving shopping today, affectionately known as “Black Friday”, symbolizing the first day of the year in which retailers are said to get “in the black”. I’m sure you are as interested in reading of my experiences as I am in writing them, so I will spare you. I saw Quint at JCPenny around 5:15, and a Russell trio + Jordy at Staples around 5:30. Staples was without competition on their BF deals. I’ll let Jared edit with his deals, and here are mine:

Best Buy
Spinter Cell: Chaos Theory for Xbox
39.99 - 30.00 sale = 9.99

Kohl’s
Black & Decker Crush Master 450 watt blender
Reg. 34.99; 17.64 - 2.65 Early Bird Special = 14.99

Staples
Wireless Intellimouse Explorer x 2
49.98 - 35.00 instant savings = 29.88

PNY 512mb Attache Flash Drive
54.98 - 35.00 instant savings - 10.00 easy rebate = 9.94

Staples Surge Strip
5.94 - 6.00 easy rebate = FREE

PNY 512mb PC3200 DDR400 Desktop RAM
89.98 - 30.00 instant savings - 20.00 easy rebate = 39.94

Maxtor 200GB 7200RPM internal hard drive
119.98 - 50.00 instant savings - 40.00 easy rebate = 29.94

Digital Research 16x double-layer dual-format internal DVD drive
89.98 - 50.00 instant savings - 20.00 easy rebate = 19.94

The last 3 items will be used for my Windows Media Center box that I plan to construct.

best buy, i lined up at 4:50am all the way around the building, but the whole line got in at 5:00. since i knew exactly what i was getting, i was out in 10 minutes, others, i’ve heard didn’t fair so easily. i waited in line at staples at 5:30 (jared at 5:00), and then at 6:15 i got in. i also waited in the checkout line for around 30 minutes, too. i waited in the kohl’s checkout line for around 20 minutes. target checkout lines weren’t bad at all when i was there at 9:45. jared knows more about best buy and wal-mart around 7-8am.
