Jake, you’re absolutely right, it never hurts to ask around. It’s usually best to ignore the hype too because on many occasions it’s unwarranted and you can find the same thing elsewhere or at a different time. Thats part of the marketing strategy, make a sense of urgency so you will overspend.

I learned something a few years ago, here’s what happened…

It was the first year of the big price cuts for LCD and Plasma TV’s, Best Buy had a great deal on a 42inch LCD for $1000. Got up early, waited in line what seemed like forever, and when I got in, GONE! Then I started thinking, maybe if I shopped around a bit I could get a good deal that wasn’t necessarily advertised.

Ended up going to Sears, talked to the salesman, and ended up getting a 42inch Plasma for $1000. This price was not advertised at all as far as I know, regular price was well over that. Turned out getting a great deal without even needing to stand in line. If you love saving money as much as I do, never hurts to ask!

I agree, it is stressful and I have never done multiple stores. This year there are a few things I need that just happen to fall into the Black Friday category but I will just walk in around noon or whenever to the store that’s offering what I need and see if it’s there. If it’s not, no biggie because the deal isn’t super great anyway.
