CoronitaParticipantNoticed that the "Deals" today aren't really that great this year. Use to be there were a lot of freebie's. This year, there are virtually none.
Unfortunately, I just pulled the trigger on a 52" LCD for my parents. I guess I'm joined the "one of them" (RE stereotypes, hummer jokes, blah blah blah…but their CRT tube finally gave in after 10 years). $2000, not bad. And the good news is that people aren't fighting over them (guess with the credit/stock/housing mess).

ParticipantJust returned from Escondido’s North County Fair…found easy parking at 7 a.m., strolled the mall for 30 minutes while looking into 2 supposed door-buster “deals”, decided both items were pieces of crap (and still over-priced), then wandered out to the car, spending nothing, and came home.
Gone was the madness of yesteryear. Folks–unless the Invisible Man is out there shopping today, this Black Friday is going to go down as one of the worst ever.
Good riddance to the consumer-driven economy!! Hello big-time recession!!

ParticipantJust got back from my neighborhood Vons. It was empty — to be expected on a day when most people are eating Thanksgiving leftovers. But there was NO ONE in line at the inside-Vons Starbucks, and this is a phenomenon I’ve only seen in the last two weeks or so. Used to be at least 10 people in line no matter what time of day.
The msnbc article gave props to CVS. I really like CVS. I used to go there when I’d visit my sister in the Wash D.C. area. I’m very glad they expanded west. They are going to be the home of the “Minute Clinic” you guys might have read about — where you can be seen by a nurse practitioner for minor ailments at a low cost. This is important to me because I am going to lose my health insurance at the end of the year.
As for Christmas shopping, I am a real cheapskate. I buy deals online or at the Sports Arena swap meet. My mall addiction was cured about two years ago.
