Black Friday and Beyond: Requiem for your Wallet

10 CANS OF SPOTTED DICK ONLY 1 POUND!

Liiya

That is a bargain actually.

My sister is looking for a good deal on a decent TV in the 40-45' range for her place.

She's not a TV snob but I'd still like her to get something decent amist all the sales, so suggestions would be welcome, particularly in the Samsung variety.

Edit: Wrong thread, but it's still thread-related so the query stands.

ONE HOGSHEAD OF BLOOD PUDDING ONLY 33 PENCE AND A SCHILLING!

Hermano

A whole Curt Schilling for some black pudding? What kind of deal is that!?

Snicketysnick

Besides, everyone knows you don't go down and queue yourself, you pay a cheeky grubby urchin to do it for you!

An old lady once tried to buy some groceries from the corner shop I worked at with shillings a good few years ago, and I had to explain that we don't use them any more. They've not been used since 1971. :?

I've decided I'm going to go in to best buy and rebuy everything that I bought online if I can.

Then I'll return the online purchases when they come in.

Mr. G

I will be going to Walmart at 6 PM tonight cause my dad wants to get himself a big 60-inch TV that is $400 off

And I was gonna go to Walmart tomorrow morning anyway cause they have Mario Kart 8 for half price

Raijin Quickfoot

We're going to Best Buy, Target, Kohl's, and maybe Wal-Mart.

I guess I liked the holidays because the days just went by so much faster. My favorite part of working at Best Buy was helping people. It's the thing I missed the most.

Every year I'd get a bunch of older parents or grandparents with a list clearly written by a kid and they had no idea what any of it was.

I would walk them around the store and find everything for them and answer questions and get them needed accessories and they were just the most grateful people.

I'm really going to miss that feeling this year.

This was actually something I loved about retail. Back when Wizards of the Coast had retail stores I loved helping people find the right kind of board game for themselves and make sure parents/grand parents got kids good MTG presents.

Selling stuff you like is one of the funnest things.

The only thing I'm looking to splurge on this weekend is some of that sweet, sweet vintage Ikea furniture (that is apparently limited edition and, oh God, that place is going to be totally fucked this weekend, isn't it?).

The only thing I am looking for is the best deal on a Wii U.

Professor Snugglesworth

Oh shit speaking of Wii U:

http://www.sears.com/nintendo-mario-kart-8-for-nintendo-wii-u/p-05804468000P?prdNo=1&sellerId=SEARS

Even if you're not big on Musou games the amount of updates and content they keep giving Hyrule Warriors has made me frothing for a deal.

I am quite frothed now.

Edit: At least I would be if the damn thing didn't seem to be OOS.

Hopefully Amazon will price match.

@Bucketman‌ how much trouble would you get in if you just happened to accidentally hide a GoPro 3+ for me to pick up late tonight?

UnbreakableVow

I'm doing things pretty light this year

GameStop at midnight for Assassin's Creed: Rogue ($45) and Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition ($30)

Tomorrow, Record Store Day is doing their own Black Friday, so I'll be making the trek out to Orlando to grab The Big Lebowski soundtrack and Afrika Bambaataa's Planet Rock on 12" vinyl, and the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack on cassette. Hopefully I can grab all three

Mortal Sky

I don't have much spare money for black Friday shopping but that's okay. finals are coming and I don't need more stupid shit to distract me

A Dabble Of Thelonius

We're grabbing Lego movie from target then black flag, Godzilla and Edge of Tomorrow from wherever

It's like you worked out the convenience of shopping online and decided to do the exact opposite.

yeah Raijin that is completely baffling to me

Dad's gift bought from Best Buy online. He's getting a Surface 2 from the family.

Mr. G

...How is this taking advantage of the company in any way?

He is buying everything online just in case he can't get it in store

Then, if he can get it in store, he's going to send the online purchases back to the company he bought it from and be issued a refund and they get their item back

I don't understand why he's buying things in store if he's already got it online

I have seen people pepper sprayed, one woman shoved another to the ground in a move you would see in a MMA fight, and much much more

I head to the hell known to men in about 40 minutes.

But as far as I know we are going to clean up from one sale help set up another and repeat
But I know they are going to mess up yet again
