Black Friday

[asepgrad98]

So do you guys get up before dawn to get the good deals on the day after Thanksgiving? Walmart and Bestbuy have <$400 laptops this year.

 

Here is a link to find the goodies

Shopping is the last thing I'll be doing that day. People out there are nuts

i dont enjoy shopping and crowds, but if i can save $100 on something i want anyways then why not...

[antig24]

I'll be out and about with my brother getting things.

Here's another link with many stores. It also has shopping lists that you highlight items from each store, then print it out.

I'm off to Home Depot, WalMart, Best Buy, and one or two more Fri. morning.

I plan on sitting around drinking beer, feeling bad for all the people getting trampled so they can save $5.

There ain't no way you'd get me out there. All them people and no laws, it's just asking me to flip out.... Hell hath no fury like that of a stressed out soccer-mom and all her female relations all raging though a toy isle made only wide enough for one. You think they're deadly with carts, wait til the hit the streets to tear apart the next store! It's crazy. That's the only situation that could cause riot police to wet themselves!!!! (no offense to them, i would too!) I'll be sitting in my garage, admiring the lack of shopping cart dings and bumper dents I would have incurred. Now that's a thing of beauty.

I have a friend that always goes with her mom and family. I plan on searching a few of the ads and giving them some money to pick up a few things for me. No way I'm gonna be out in all that mess. I can barely stand to go to the stores when they aren't packed and people are acting crazy. I guess I'm more of an online shopper type of guy.

I went. Got an HP printer/scanner/copier blank DVDs and CDs at Office Depot. Then went to sears and got some locking pliers and a set of gear wrenches for my dad for xmas.

Huntsville, TX, where I am, mistakenly heads to Houston for shopping during Christmas. Drives the local merchants crazy. That's OK, there are never crowds here and I can do my entire shopping in about an hour with no lines at the registers. That's life in a small town.

 

I bought three of these for gifts at Walmart and LOVE them! ROADMASTER JE2000 "12 Volt DC Electric Car Jack with Hand Held Controller"

 

 

$55.00 and easily lifts one wheel at a time on my 1/2 ton Z71. For the back, I had to help its height with a 4" X 4" block of wood that I keep in my tool box.

 

Obviously, it is not meant to take place of your dump truck lifter. It is only a one ton jack meaning one-wheel-at-a-time. It works very well, the quality is simply amazing. This would really be an incredible item for the compact car, as well, for the wife, or my 80 year old Uncle Bob.

 

I exercised it quite a bit on my Z71 and the motor didn't get warm. You could hear the torque on the gearing increase, but it really didn't seem to be under a strain. Put it under the Pontiac Grand Am and it didn't even know anything was there.

 

It saddens me that it, only with EVERYTHING else, is made in China. Do we have factories that make stuff anymore?

That does look like a nice jack there Larry. I could definitely see a market for something like that in an emergency kit. A lot less fussing.

[Wingnut]

That's pretty cool Larry.

 

I want you in my family...I just get ugly-assed sweaters.
