I had no idea that there were on-lines specials almost as great as in store specials on Black Friday. Seriously. I figured if I didn't drag my ass out to the stores I didn't earn the discounts.
And I'm alright with that. Really. I am.
Then, over the weekend, while comparison shopping I see I missed one hell of a sale at BestBuy.com. AND it had exactly what I'm looking for at a GREAT price. Now, it's sold out and I missed it. Damn
I could have finished my Christmas shopping, NOT left the house in the middle of the night or stood in the freezing cold for hours?!? DAMN!!
The news this morning was full of notices that TODAY is the kick-off to the internet shopping season.
WTF?!?!
When did we start monitoring THAT? For cryin' out loud. I'm in this industry and I had No Idea.
Now, I will admit. I am an internet shopper. I'm out and about in a lot of stores a lot of the time. The last thing I really truly want to do is go out and be one with the masses. Seriously. Just has no appeal at all. So I shop from the comfort of Paradise. And they bring it to my door. I like that arrangement.
So I sure do wish I had paid more attention. I was up at 4:00 in the morning on Friday. I was even on-line. But I just never thought to SHOP.
So next year - WATCH OUT!! I'll be out prowling the internet, in my jammies (WooHoo), sipping my coffee, grabbin' up those really great deals just like those REAL shoppers.
I like THAT arrangement even better!!
Posted by Tammi at November 26, 2007 05:55 AM | TrackBackI got some great deals at Circuit City on Black Friday and found the 'lightning' deals at Amazon as well. They had some awesome sales!
They've decided to run the lightning sales every weekday now.
Today is "Black Monday" for online shopping. This is the biggest day and deals for those who were out over the weekend and need to round out a couple of things by purchasing online.
Keep looking, you may find what you are looking for is still available.

I'm a wonderful Santa's Helper....
