Didn't see one of these - Mods feel free to delete/move if there is an existing one.

So is it still worth it to head down to the States on Friday or over the weekend to pick up some stuff? I'm moving to a new place and am hoping to score a TV and a quality sound system and maybe pick up some clothing on the way. How cheap does it get? Anyone else heading down over the weekend?

People will start lining up a day before opening so if you were hoping to snatch some door crashers...I say it's definitely not worth it

[Presto]

Black Friday @ Brick and Mortar Retail?
:fuckthatshit:


I'll be at home, where pants are optional and beer is cheap, scoping the deals online.

[mqin]

It's not actually as bad as the videos posted above... I'd say it's pretty worth while, my friends and I went down last year and snagged a brand new 50' Sony flat screen TV from wal-mart for just around $500 USD. although we were only in Tulailap so I can't speak for the rest of the malls/outlets out there.

But overall to get the best deals you'd probably have to go down on Thursday evening, because some shops will start their black Friday sales at 10 PM Thursday night, with additional discounts for the first several hours. And correct me if I'm wrong but I do believe that wal-mart doesn't start it's black Friday sale until it's officially hit 12 AM, so just stick by what you want to buy and wait till it's time to check out I guess.

If you feel that is going to be too tiring for you, try and snag a deal on a cheap hotel from priceline or something. It was 50bux for a night and gave us a place to crash and rest before making the trip back up to Vancouver. Might be too late now but I'm not too sure since I wasn't planning on going back this year.

edit: If you want the deals, your best bet is to be there just as the sale starts.

last i heard wal-mart isn't doing anything big this year because of the strike

Should have waited a year and got it for $299.:lawl:

[mqin]

oh that sucks :S.... i loved their deals! hahah


and to op: I guess just do your research and see if there is anything that u'd be willing to make the trip for, because that's what my friends and I did. Which ended up going pretty well.

[skiiipi]

I went the last 4 years
Usually to portland.
Salem to be exact (little past portland to not compete w/ all the Washington resident that crosses state lines for tax savings)

We start lining up usually Thursday morning, and hit best buy first, then go to the outlet, and then the mall.

Usually the best savings for me are the small xmas presents.
I usually spend $500+ at toyrus buying all the gifts for my friend's kids.
The outlet usually have some pretty good deals too.
I don't bother for the BIG door crashers, like the $299 samsung TV lastyear, which people started to line up on monday for.
But last year I got PS3 for $199.99, 3 Bluray players for $50 each (toshiba), Sonicare Toothbrush for $20, Shark Steamvac $20
A bunch of blurays for $5 each.

Too bad I can't go this year due to work obligations

I'm currently in the market for a laptop, but the only problem that I see with electronics on Black Friday/Cyber Monday is that they tend to be older machines or seem to cheap out on one of the features. Or maybe I just suck at looking at flyers..

November last year local Costco. Bought 2. Then went to BB and bought to more with the 10% price beat.

Bought a Blue ray player from Walmart for $39.99.


Black Friday and Boxingday lineups are not worth it. almost froze my balls off at A/B for a tape deck and a 56k modem. The stuff on sale is stuff they usually don't carry or is old stuff they are getting rid of. Also 3 to 6 months after the sales you will find similarly priced stuff at a regular sale.

[HondaGuy]

Interested in a new led flatscreen possibly 42 or 46', will need by sometime next year. Either get it this weekend or wait for xmas? Not sure...

i am looking for a laptop for normal usage (no gaming, no video editing). I had my eye on a Samsung ultrabook before, but now it sold out at future shop. And i forgot what model was that.

It has hdmi, ssd, thin and light, maybe 13" or 15", around $600 at Lansdowne future shop. Do you guys happen to know what model is that?

Unlike women, if we want it, we will go out and buy it.

Can't be bothered to leave the house for these sales anymore. Anyone in the know can get deals like this all year round. Only suckers think Black Friday sales are only on Black Friday.

Like those people attacking the Xbox display. So you saved $20...but you had to wake up early, drive to the store, line up for hours, get in there and melee your way to the box. Is that worth it? I'm certainly not ghetto enough to waste my time like that.

Smart shoppers never have to pay full price all year long.

That's a dubious assertion. Research has shown that guys spend as much time shopping as women. The difference is that guys spend hours researching products online before making their purchase. How many women are on RFD? It's 90% male. I consider research as an integral part of the shopping experience.

I spend more of my disposable income on clothes instead of toys. I welcome sales events such as Black Friday and Boxing Day because those are often the only times when premium clothes come on sale.

Exactly. There's comparable or even better deals throughout the year if you just do a little research. Black Friday is only for the casual consumers that don't know any better. It's pretty sad seeing people go nuts to save $20 for a video game :lol

Bingo.

With electronics...deals can be had all year round if you keep your eyes open.

Brand name clothing on the other hand is very hard to predict due to sizing and stock. You have to get your butt in the store and see for yourself. Black Fridays and Boxing days are guaranteed days where you'll pay the lowest prices.

I saw the deal but imo it's the Costco affect. Just because it's cheaper to get more doesn't mean you should buy it. The 32gb I got is already more than enough for me. Plus the BB Price Match is a YMMV as lots of people have been denied already. Too much hassle and no worth for me personally but a great deal otherwise if you need it.

Memory Express.

TD had it for $169.97(now it's back up to $219) and ME has it for $229.99. ME has stock but TD's price already changed so you probably won't be able to PM :/

You can try PMing using this Amazon.ca: Buying Choices: Intel Core i5-3570K Quad-Core Processor 3.4 GHz 6 MB Cache LGA 1155 BX80637I53570K (http://www.amazon.ca/gp/offer-listing/B007SZ0E1K/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new) ($175) It's a little more expensive but still a great deal if the PM works.

Black Friday Prank at a Dollar Store - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2a5pWMZxlIA#at=158)

[Ronin]

Anyone know of any cheap-ish photo related stocking stuffers? For photography beginners.

[inv4zn]

^Remote triggers (ebay, not genuine) - still work just as good., Monopod, portable grey card, photography related books, memory cards, picture frames, neck straps, hand straps, battery packs, eyepiece extenders, extra battery, filters for lenses, etc.

Most of these are under $50. Monopods and some camera body related items can creep up in price depending on camera model. For filters you need to know what lens they have. Etc etc. US is always cheaper, even in retail stores.

[JKam]

^neck strap. Using the crappy Nikon/Canon ones around the neck is awful.

[inv4zn]

^It depends on the strap (re: camera model.) My 7D strap wasn't uncomfortable at all.

I had a tamrac one lying around that I'm using, and it's better, but the original isn't bad.
