DD worked at Target at 6:30 or maybe even earlier. She said it wasn't too busy at all, she didn't think they advertised too much like some of the stores do, and her store isn't that close to anything else for the people who want to hit multiple stores. I suppose I should've gone out and used her discount plus their sale but I don't particularly like shopping, especially in stores (as opposed to online), and I hate crowds, so I skipped it. There's also really not anything big ticket I'm looking for right now. She may have picked up a movie or two but she had a school activity and couldn't stay long after work.
Next year, I'm going to get an HDTV big screen. The question will be whether to find a decent price before football season, or hold out for a holiday sale next year. Do they generally run sales on older models?
And is this really a good deal for stores? Are people going in and buying other stuff too, or are they just getting the stuff at near wholesale prices, which means that they aren't making much on profits, and may be cannibalizing sales for the rest of the holidays?
