There are some good deals. My family has gotten some great electronic deals in the past.
I got this laptop for about 40% off last year.

That's a great deal. I'm not sure how much your laptop cost but it could be a lot of money saved.

I understand not wanting to go to sales for items that cost very little to begin with. However, last year we got a $1,000.00 TV for 60% off. That is $600.00 saved. While I understand to some of you that is chump change, $600.00 is a lot of money to my family. In addition to all the other stuff we got, we saved well over a few thousand dollars.

No doubt there are savings to be made, that's what Sales are all about. However, having watched on the TV (my 12 year old, no doubt obsolete but in perfect working order TV, thank you Samsung) the horrendous behaviour at many outlets of various products, I prefer not to participate.

It makes me wonder sometimes, too, if all those people being shoved around in the feeding frenzy really need whatever it is they are punching the guy in the face next to them for. Probably not that many.

For instance, when my current crappy little computer gives up the ghost (no sign of it doing so yet after 4 years of constant use, thank you Hewlett Packard) I'll borrow a friend's machine and shop online for a replacement at best prevailing price. Because, I only have one computer. That's it. I only have one pair of hands, so why would I need more than one computer. And why would I want to get into a Black Friday scrum for something I've already got just because it's going cheap (irrespective of the actual item).

Hello everyone, hope all is well.
The US stock market just hit a record high today, so I'm doing pretty well :P

Do you say stuff like this because of your name (awesome btw) or are you actually involved in stocks?

I was around for his thread on stocks, which I believe he told us he invested in stocks. 1 sec.

Umm well it must have dropped off his profile. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known
