Black Friday '09 Discussion

[Workdawg]

I'm not sure how many of you actually plan on shopping on "Black Friday", but I'm thinking about it. There's usually some good deals to be had. It looks like there are a ton of hot deals on Netbooks/Laptops, and Sears seems to have a couple things of interest to me.

You can check out www.blackfriday.info for a list of Ads to see what'll be available.

I've got my eye on a set of wrenches from Sears: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00944005000P

On sale on BF for only $30.

They also list 50% off mechanics gloves, so I might purchase a pair of those as well.


I'm not sure if other malls are having any events, I would assume so, but I know the EP Center is having a spend $100, get a $10 GC thing that day, so that's kinda cool.

Anyways, use this thread to post deals your interested in, or think others might. If people are interested in going shopping early that day, I'd probably be down.

Anyone planning on an exhaust manifold or diff brace install absolutely needs those wrenches. I'll likely puck up a set of those, dang good deal.

I'm gonna check the deals out on laptops since I don't really have a personal one.

Hopefully most stores allow online shopping and honor the prices too.

FYI, Gearwrench comes with a lifetime warranty as well. I just picked up this set today, since I already have a set of the same type of Craftsman non-metric wrenches.

Here's another great Black Friday site [u]http://www.blackfriday2009.com[/u]

Black friday can KMA.

More and more retailers are rolling it out into all-weekend sales or extending them to online storefronts, but until then... F that noise.

I agree Jay. There's no way I'm out in that scheduled chaos, but the info is available to those that don't mind the herds of crazies out there. I love the fact that Walmart and Sears as well as a few others, are spreading out the sales on the weekends leading up to Black Friday. It only makes sense to me, because peopel can't hit ALL the sales the day-of, so by spreading it out it encourages people to hit more places.

Dude, walmart is doing it to stop people from trampling each other to death to save $100 on a laptop! lol

They can extend the sales, but whether or not they have the inventory to back up any of the real deals will be the question.

I probably will be keeping an eye on online sales, but I won't be heading out friday morning for sure. We had talked about doing that "mnmazda get your wife's shopping done in one trip" deal for that saturday though. I could be down for that still, especially if there are still good deals to be had.
