You can buy a very nice Ferrari key chain, or coffee mug for under $50!

If I had TheDons money I would buy a 6 pack of socks.

You guys are missing the whole object, first if we want something we buy it its immature to wait for your wife to buy it for you, second try and find a meaningful gift for less than $50.00 for a person who has had or the ability to have anything he.she wants its much harder than you think.

I know how that is. My family is very good family friends with a very wealthy family who has two ferraris. (Yes ones old, and ones new.) But anyways, I gave him 2 ferrari keychains that I got off of ebay, and everytime I go over to his house, he makes a point to show me the keychains. TOTAL COST... 32.74

I spend $50 on shirts, pants, and boots monday the 13th... Loaded the TRUNK OF MY CAR!!!!!!!

Half off at savers (used stuff)

that's how I spend $50.....

I got my mommie to go into our store at 6:30, and buy a waterloo toolbox for $70 (regular $170)... Just the top part, but DAMN it's the top of the line stuff.... BLACK, BALL BEARING DRAWYERS Coulda/shoulda gotten the bottom one for $130 (regular $230)... but o well...

We had another hell of a deal, $50 for a regularly $100 autodarkening KT welding helmet... yeah...

Genisis? brand tools (OK stuff, but save ur recite), really good deals. 18 volt 1/2" drill, $20 (regulary $50) How can you pass that up???



Some other stuff too, but whatever, if u dont have money, and want to buy expensive things, go after thanksgiving...

but retail employes like myself HATE YOUR ASS!!!

one guy (first in the door), at 6AM, the opening for the 3 hour sale, decided to ask me technical questions on the helmet...

sir, I'd love to answer your questions in two hours, but I'm swamped right now.

we had a bigazz display of them, and people couldnt find them.... OPEN UR DAMN EYES
argggg

Teh horrorz

I still call it "Day after Thanksgiving," and refuse to shop on that day. I hate crowds at the best of times and detest waiting in any line.

The best Day after T I ever spent was about 9 years ago, when I lived in Denver. Drove the 280CE up into the mountains and over Loveland Pass via US 6, in cold clear weather. Fantastic.

It's a good time for NON-shopping activities. . . or, no activity at all.
