I decided to take a pass on shopping this year and didn't shop the sales online or in the stores. Though I did quite a bit of online and in-person 'window-shopping' throughout the weekend. Looking at display windows of stores is one of my favorite seasonal past times. I'm still making my lists of Christmas gifts and will probably start doing my shopping in earnest this coming weekend. I can't believe Thanksgiving has come and gone already!
So did you do any shopping over the weekend? Were there really great deals to find out there or is this Black Friday shopping thing just media hype?
Some of it was media hype. However, I did manage to get a pair of timberland earthkeeper boots from Macy's for close to 40% off. Overstock also had some good deals as did the Novica store. I also consider paying half the price for a telescope, spare lenses, and star chart book a good deal. As for other things, I am really not sure.
I would also like to point out that Overstock usually has deals and sends out promotional codes anyway, that may have been more hype. The deals at Macy's were not hype, especially the ones online. I feel bad for anyone that went to the store though.
