ParticipantOffice Depot got 50% off Ink cartage for our HP printer.
Got there earlier enough to get a ticket (one of ten available) for a Toshiba Lap-Top at about half the price we paid for the “Home” Lap-Top we have now but ours is only 2 years old so I gave the ticket to someone else.

ParticipantI bought a toaster oven at GTM, along with a garden nozzle and coffee. All at about half price.

CoronitaParticipantI heard they had some pretty good deals on guns.
It remains to be seen if energy and Dow chemicals shares was a black Friday deal last Friday.
November 30, 2014 at 6:24 AM #780483ParticipantHopefully, this is just the beginning. We need oil stocks to do down another 50% and massive layoffs in the frack industry in the US. Better the Saudis poison their own environment than we do.
Meanwhile, we should be working on mandating alternate energy technologies, so when Saudi oil does run out (and kick that third-rate country back to the Stone Age), we’ll be set without needing to poison ourselves.

ParticipantMy wife went crazy doing our actual holiday shopping on Amazon on Black Friday. I couldn’t keep track of everything she bought, but the good news is we’re mostly done with her side of the list, and came in at or under budget, i think.

It never ceases to amaze me that these days, more Americans are interested in seeing other people fail then they are interested in seeing people succeed… Talk about the total Schadenfreude mentality that if I can’t have it better, then neither can you…

GuestA friend convinced me to go to Walmart at about 10:00pm on Thursday. The crowd had gone home already.
I got lucky. A CSR had extra tickets and I got 3 for 50inch LED TVs (Element brand, thin bezel at the front but kinda thick in the back) at $219 each. They will go nicely in my fully furnished rentals.Also for my rentals, I got tons of towels, face cloths, and better homes and gardens bedsheets (good quality).
For me, I can’t think of anything that I need.
December 1, 2014 at 12:30 PM #780498CoronitaParticipantSpeaking of black friday/cyber monday.. I just bought a brand new….
Dustbuster… I hate my older dustbusters. The battery just craps out after a few months of use and never holds a full charge afterwards… This one has a lithium ion battery.. heh heh…

Wrong: I wish Elon Musk with Tesla, Lockheed with their fusion reactor project, and Sunpower with their high efficiency solar panels all of the luck in the world. Same to anyone building hydro power projects where they make sense and producers of modern fission reactor tech.
I just happen to think that the frack industry, as has existed for the last 5-10 years is an insanely asinine idea. And that oil as energy should have been left in the last century.

You mean like Solyndra?
I thought though for someone that champions lightweight automobiles and routinely rails against bloated newer cars would be up in arms with a 4600+ lb tesla model S
December 1, 2014 at 1:20 PM #780503ParticipantSolyndra was one company out of many. Not all investments pan out — that’s life.
