My Black Friday deals for 2013. Score anything you really wanted this year ??

[NightWolve]

Only 2 items of significance to speak of this year:

1) Because my smart phone is too small and I've come to enjoy being able to check email, visit here, facebook, handle general browsing, I wanted a tablet to serve as a cheap, simple laptop solution so that I don't always have to power on my PC Windows Tower machine. I was also curious about Google's entrance into the Operating System market so I wanted to get familiar with this Android OS for mobile devices. I found this 7" model for $59 + $2 for shipping so I snagged it up.

2) I had also been wanting a good HD camcorder to record mod videos and whatever else for quite a while now. First I bought a Sony, but then I took it a back and was willing to pay a little more for this Canon model which seemed like a better deal overall. Best Buy threw in a 32 GB Class 10 SD Memory Card for a total of $170+tax.

Well, that's about it for me... I usually don't manage to get anything worthwhile, but I hope both products work out for me. I still haven't received the tablet though... Just checked the tracking # as a matter of fact and because of volume it got sent out by the 2-day USPS method only yesterday... No biggie.

Anyhow, how about anyone else, did you score any good deals this year or just didn't bother with all the craziness that comes along with it ?? Brag/boast away!

I read reports that ~70% of the door buster deals that brick'n'mortar stores offer can actually be found online as well, so you probably didn't have to deal with driving around and facing large crowds if you're comfortable with online shopping and the wait, etc. Good to know in the future.

Nothing for me.  I didn't even see much of anything that I wanted.

Newbury Comics had a "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" sale so I got 3 CDs.

[NightWolve]

Scored a 1080p 39" LED TV for my twins' room for $170.

Not bad for a 39". They're usually 720p/1080i, so to get 1080p at that rate was good.

washer and dryer
so exciting.....

[TheClash603]

Bought my parents a new computer.

Then I waited in line at Toys R Us for a not bad 60 minutes to get my niece a bunch of Disney Infinity stuff.  This deal was store only, and it ended up being even better, because cashier messed up and didn't ring up two of the character packs which saved me $55 additional dollars.

Only thing I got for myself was 3 years of PlayStation Plus.  Ohh yea, Pikmin 3.

[turboswimbz]

Snaged a TV similar to nully's.  1080p 37" for 160 with free ship.

Nothing too much else out there worth grabbing for me.

Washers and Dryers are awesome if your old ones are starting to break. just saying.  We recently replaced our 1959 steel drum dryer.  So nice to have a dryer that works.  Although the new one isn't built anywhere as sturdy as the old one.  Also less gas use but it takes about 10-15 minutes longer to dry than when the old one was working well.   Man they use to build stuff to last!
