I did the Black Friday thing from home this year and did nothing on Cyber Monday. I know, I need to plan much better next year so I can take advantage of the killer deals that were going on each of those days.
I made out pretty well by shopping online at Office Depot. They had the same deals as their Black Friday flyer in the store and online. I was able to snatch up two microSD/MiniSD/SD cards that were 2GB each. We are going to be using them in our new EnV phones when we can actually buy those phones. My contract is up in January and then I can start a new one. I am looking forward to unlimited texts, pix, and flix all over the place. And with the new EnV I am going to make use of all the great features.
One of the features is bluetooth. I also picked up two bluetooth headsets. This was in part due to the fact that my current phone. The evil little bastard, isn’t working correctly with a wired headset and I can’t use the speakers on the phone itself. It is weird, I’ve done the hard reset a number of times and it hasn’t worked. I’m toughing it out for another month or so.
Despite my poor planing I think I did make out pretty well on Black Friday.
Yesterday I opened the Best Buy Flier as I do each and every Sunday to salivate over the cool tech and gadgets. An offer caught my eye for a Canon ZR850 for $199.00. What! Didn’t I just buy one for $254.00 on the 6th? (For those of you know don’t know, I certainly did buy one for $254 on the 6th.) I then saw a 4GB SDHC card for $39.99. And on the 6th I bought one for $74.00.
The prices dropped in less than 14 days so I was a bit livid. What the heck! I got screwed at Best Buy for not waiting for the next week. Or at least so I thought. I was talking with a friend about it and he said that there is a price protection plan at Best Buy. There was? That is great! I wasn’t convinced that they would honor it though. I tend to be ready for a fight with these things.
I looked at the Best Buy website to make sure that I was familiar with the policy and then I took my receipt and headed to the store. And to be honest I walked right in no one was in line I gave the girl behind the counter my receipt, pointed out the two products that I bought less than two weeks prior and walked out of there with $62.00 credited back to my credit card. It worked out great.
I certainly will go back to Best Buy for my future purchases.
