[quote name='MSI Magus']Man I am REALLY disappointed in this years sales so far. I mean outside the live 30% cash back deal and maybe a random deal here or there the deals havnt been that greats, especially for a year when the economy is in the tank and we have been hearing time and time again how we are going to see 90% off sales. I seriously think retailers planned this all along, hype up how the sales are going to be insane this year because of the economy then charge pretty close to regular price for stuff since most people are too stupid to realize they arnt getting the 90% off they were told they were.[/quote]
Really? I thought this year was the best one yet. I saved a ton of money of stuff but, of course, I ended up spending all of those savings on crap for me. Sigh, oh well, maybe I'll save some money next year.
[quote name='SuperJedi']Did anyone get any HOT Non-electronics Bargains?[/quote]
Wait... people buy things OTHER than electronics?!?!? Well I guess if you count food items I did get some Hot Pockets 7 for $10 at Acme on Friday.
[quote name='ITDEFX']Anyone think we are going to get another "How I fought CC" story by Billg this year?[/quote]
I had an epic battle of my own with that company last year after the 360 I ordered online arrived sans console. It was resolved the week before Xmas and I got a free wireless controller and Marvel/Forza game for my troubles.
I just made my last (hopefully) online purchase for the Thanksgiving weekend. I only ended up going to 2 actual stores for BF deals. The rest I got entirely online. If some prices look strange it's because I included their tax and shipping costs as well. Here's what I've got for Xmas this past month:

Total Listed Here: $1211.57
Total Spent on Other Xmas Stuff: ~$200.00
Total Spent on Xmas so far: $1411.57
After Xmas Purchases:
1 Bullet - $0.50
Gun Rental - $15.00 (why buy if you're only going to use it once?)
I also have to make a $39.90 return to Amazon due to Warhammer dropping the day after I purchased it. There's also more stuff I ordered for other people and stuff I ordered for myself that other people are paying for. I think I'm canceling Xmas next year. Either that or find a way to mortgage an apartment. :lol:
