View Full Version : Black Friday
Anyone go out today? Any good deals? I just picked up a ton of movies, couple camo jackets.. Nothing to exciting. Just wondering if anyone found any good deals throughout this black Thursday/Friday?
Nada, hiding indoors, crazy people out there today. That and I am tired of this Black Friday crap, is this what our society has come to? I dont remember this when I was growing up.
I have found some good online deals, just no extra cash to buy. :(

I thought about swinging by Cabelas on the way to work this morning, but when I went home from work lastnight there were already like 20-30 tents out there of people lined up so I decided against that. Looking at their ads they didn't really even have any great deals.

I'm not leaving the house. I detest everything about black Friday.
I planned on going to Cabela's as well. The north location, too many people. Managed to get my vehicle backed into at the parking lot at Wally world. Smashed out taillight. Tis the season I guess. I have to say, they couldnt pay me enough to be a cashier and deal with the attitudes of some of the people that were out. If I get hit by another soccer mom with a cart again, I may lose it!!

I went out last night to pull security for the missus. Got some good deals but today is a rest day. Plus I fucked up my back and it's killing me.

Had to go one place. People are driving like dipshits and every backwoods toothless yokel is at the stores. I'm now safely back at my house not to leave again today.

I did it last year and said I'd never do it again. I'm watching football with my son and relaxing today.
Some internet sales are really good, but like said earlier, not much fun without the funds!!

Yeah, I've been watching the deals off and on but I've been good about holding off on spending money we don't have.
I don't go anywhere on black friday. I refuse to participate in this manufactured travesty, its vile rudeness, inconsiderate behavior, and utter selfishness.
Yeah me too, wife is at Ft. Sill basic training so flying her out in December so have to watch money! Does anyone else get annoyed with some of those mail in rebates? I.E. Original price 190.00 but 50.00 mail in rebate... Sucks when you dont have the money to pay full price, than wait to get your money back. Makes no sense. Saw that at alot of places.....
I hate black Friday! With that said, wife needs a few pair of pants today so we will go to Old Navy, went to Dick's last night wasn't bad.... We are going up to Blackhawk instead!
Blackhawk is a lot of fun! I love the Ameristar

I did order a new BOB from Maxpedition today using their 30% off coupon. Didn't have to go out and fight crazies for that though.

Rainier Arms has some good deals

Which bag did you go with?

The Gearslinger Sitka S-type. I've been looking at them for a while, the 30% off they offered today twisted my arm. We'll see how it is sometime next week when it gets here.
Ok, I am gonna sound dumb here, are those like the 511 tactical style bags?

I got some Trijicon HD Orange night sights for my M&P. They were $82.50 at DSG Arms (normally $110) instead of the normal price of $154 at Midway, $135 at Amazon.
Oh, and my wife and I are heading to walmart to do our weekly shopping. We're both scared, but we're also out of food and this is the first time we've had time to go this week.
LOL, worst time for grocery shopping! The PX has some good deals on guns, but they always do.

Wife just got home from working at the BX at Peterson. She had to be in at 5 this morning. She's wiped out. The BX was just as crazy as any other retail location.
There's a nice solar setup at Sportsmans for 1/2 off I'd like to get but I'm not going out into that mess.

Nope, can't stand the crowds, my knee hurts and I really need to clean out the garage (tomorrow).

I got free coffee this morning because the dip shit in front of me was arguing with the cashier over the cost of espresso and then counted out his pennies to pay for it and took 20 minutes.
I think there may have been some sort of sale on bread when I went to Soopers at lunch today to buy lunch bread...

I rock a Sitka as an EDC/GHB. There's no way that I could bug out with it though.
Those are some nice bags! I might have to look into that! ( when I am not broke anyways! )
Not buying anything. I am still mentally recovering from Dick's Troy Carbine Blackfriday pre-order last year. [LOL]

Never have never will. I always knew it wouldn't be too long and some asshat would think if opening at midnight then why not open earlier in the evening on Thanksgiving and so that decision just adds to the distruction of our culture IMHO. My employer extended our already stupid Thanksgiving hours. Black Friday will eventually become meaningless because the retailers will just open all day Thanksgiving. Probably lead to open 24 hours Thu and Fri. On Wed I did not have one customer picking up RX's that thought retailers should be open on Thanksgiving. Just an unscientific poll and my customers are older.

I agree 100% with you, everything has changed as far as holidays go. I remember being a kid at Halloween and hitting every house in the neighborhood. Now I take my boys out and were lucky to find two houses in a row with their lights on. Thank after that, you turn on the TV and Christmas commercials were already on, two days after Halloween the malls had Christmas music playing. Everything is going away, even the Holidays. Its insane.

Yea I misspoke, it'll be more of a EDC, bag just loaded up with shit I could always use, and I'll pretty much keep it handy all the time.

Earlier in the week, I was in an OfficeMax buying some paper for the office printers. They had an ad for their "Black Friday" which opened at 8PM on Thanksgiving evening.
WTF would I want to go to OfficeMax to buy at 8PM on Thanksgiving? WTF? I'm still baffled.

Daughter wants a small laptop etc., so the wife went to Microcenter early this morning for the 8am opening. Saw 500 people in line around the building and came on home. I went out about 2pm with them to a couple of best buys, number of people was reasonable, but a-holes were everywhere. bumping and shoving... crazy. I usually just stay home and we did just that after those two stores of shopping fun.
Black Friday just reminds me of why Thanksgiving has become my favorite holiday. Our society has utterly destroyed what Christmas is all about.

Bought 4 brand new Bushmaster ARs for $2200 out the door. Also getting a mail in rebate of a free cleaning kit and 4 mags per rifle. I think I could have done worse.
Yeah, I only went to one place this afternoon to pick up an anniversary gift for the wonderful wife (11 years married now) and the shopping was actually quick with no hassle. I went straight home afterwards, figured I didn't want to press my luck.

Same for me. Also use when hiking in the warmer months.
