Your 2013 Black Friday/Cyber Monday Hauls
Thursday Night - Target and Steam
Costume Quest - $2.50 on Steam Beyond: Two Souls - $35 Pacific Rim, Les Miserables, Great Gatsby (new version) blu-ray/digital/ultraviolet/dvd combo (in Les Mis' case on DVD) - $9 each Friday Best Buy Google Chromecast - $30 Sandisk 32 gb Memory Card - $18 (For my mom) Moneyball, Dragonball: Evolution, Office Space Blu-rays - $4 each Fanzz 2 Lakers T-shirts and 2 Lakers hats - $60 total (One of the shirts wasn't on sale but I got it anyway cuz it's one of the most awesome T-shirts I've ever seen, so really it was 2 hats and a T-shirt for $32). There's also an amusing story involving the Bulls version of the same shirt Target (again) Mad Men Season 6 Blu-ray - $10 Hersey's Cordial Cherry Kisses - $10 for 3 bags - not on sale, but a holidays only food item The Rebel Den (My favorite UNLV apparel store) UNLV hat - $15 That's probably going to be the extent of my Black Friday since I'm saving my money, unless there's another Steam game that really jumps out at me. But I always love hearing what other people have done, so I start this thread every year.

I picked up a 360, a PS3 and a Vita with the Gamestop B2G1 (the Vita was free). That takes care of my major shopping.

Almost went buckwild in express - everything was 50% off, before I put it all back. Almost bought a dog.
Ended up getting 2 shirts from PacSun for $35, Looper and Man on Fire for $6... total time spent, about 3 hours. It was fun, though. |

I'm not looking to go crazy, but if someone spots a laptop with an i5 and a *dedicated* GPU for ~750 or lower, shoot me a PM. Online only. Already looking at the Lenovos, but seeing if there's any crazy deals today/Monday.

A batch of Blu-Rays between $7 and $10 on Amazon, plus that Yahama 673 A/V receiver that was the Gold Box deal yesterday to replace my older one that doesn't support ARC or 3D. We really want Disney Infinity for the 360, but can't find it anywhere at any of the $40 Black Friday deals that were advertised; apparently one Target a few miles away has it for $50, not sure if I'll be able to get over there though.

Amazon has some pretty nice wine deals if you're looking to stock up for the holidays and live in a state that has moved on from the 1930s.

Wife said the half-price sale at Old Navy (for the 15 y/o) was a big winner.

I got hit with an unexpected car repair bill which was pretty large, so I was going to forego any unusual spending. That included buying things related to my reentry into playing keyboards. But, I couldn't pass up this deal on a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface. Usually priced at $149, Amazon has it for $110 minus another $16.50 for whatever promotion they are currently running. Sweet. Looking around for keyboard deals now. Guitar Center has a 15% off coupon through Sunday so maybe I will see what they have.

If you don't mind Toshibas, go to their site and click on the Black Friday banner. They have some deals that fit your requirements. Cheapest one I saw was $599. |

I've been doing a bit of this all week. Asleep by midnight, up a little before nine. Deals? A Florida avocado for $2.50, three Hass avocados for $2.50, about a pound of Cajun-flavored boiled peanuts for $3, a pound of pistachios and a half-pound of salted cashews. Oh, and a couple of pewter (?) pendant necklaces for $5. But they were all normal flea market prices.

Picked up a Garmin Edge 500 (GPS bike computer) from Amazon for £90 - pretty good deal (even if it is an older model that's likely to be discontinued in the near future), as the best price is normally around £140 to £150...

Snagged my PS4 after waiting in line on Thursday at Wal-Mart. My girlfriend and I went crazy on games and ended up snagging Black Flag, Madden, and Battlefield 4 for me, and NFS Rivals and Skylanders for her during black friday sales. Skylanders was actually a little earlier during a pre Black Friday sale, but the price was a few dollars cheaper than the actual BF sale. Oh, I also ended up with about 15 new Skylander's characters to add to roughly 30 we have from the previous two games. Joy.

Oh and for those folks wondering, yes, the Las Vegas Target where the guy got robbed of his TV and shot a few blocks down the road was the Target I went to. I didn't see or hear the shooting, though, as I did a lot of browsing in Target before checking out.

I went into best buy looking for a desktop for my eldest for xmas - all the stuff I saw on sale was on sale for an obvious reason (ie. end of life, obsolete, poor graphics cards etc.) ... as such came home without anything.
First and last time I bother venturing into a store on BlackFriday - really didn't see what the furore was about, sale prices weren't particularly lower than any other sale time and the organisation and crowding were ludicrous ... |

Depends on the store and the item involved. Some have really outrageous deals, like Walmart I think had a $29 tablet and a 69 cent Samsung cellphone.

I never leave my house on Black Friday, slick deals is your friend. I didn't want / need any big ticket items this year but I did buy a friend a big screen tv for Christmas / his birthday. Main thing I needed was jackets after my current ones stopped fitting. So happy to get a couple nice ones

So let me guess the tablet was a cheap chinese import, probably 800x480 resolution and a dodgy Android implementation ... possibly suitable for very young kids who won't realise quite how bad it was?* The phone will obviously tie into a 'plan' of some description or be a pay as you go at extortionate rates? (best buy had some similar 'deals' on ...) *I have a very bad taste in my mouth for these as I've had to patch around some horrendous bugs in OS implementations on them for FMH in the past when a large store decides to hit and run, dumping a load onto the market in the UK (yes I'm looking at you Tesco's  ). |

Got a MSI 7870 for $132 after rebate from Newegg.
Nice Infinite cookware set for about $130 from Amazon deal of the day. Looking at Norton 360 on Amazon for $20 but debating if AV is that much better over AVG Free. |
