As I did not need a huge TV, which is the only acceptable item IMO to risk being at the center of a riot over 20-30% saving, I did get something cool.
I got to sleep in till 10 on a friday, which for a Law Student is the greatest gift of all.
Serously though, excepting the huge electronic's purchase, and having worked in retail for black friday at Best Buy for 4 years, I really don't understand the appeal to standing out in the cold for hours on end and then in line for more to save amounts that could be replicated by good online deal shopping.
Just doesn't seem worth the time and effort expounded for the most part.
