My Black Friday 2012

I want to review and share my Black Friday 2012. There is something for everyone on every Black Friday. I find some money to take advantage of the once a year deals even though I'm unemployed. Like past Black Friday's, I choose whether to buy a good based on a combination of convenience, necessity, must have, and long overdue. None of my purchases are on impulse. Here are the items I purchased:

Breaking Bad and Burn Notice Season 1. I hear positive and favorite reviews and opinions on Breaking Bad. I watched one episode of Burn Notice in Los Angeles on July 2009. I was addicted. Best Buy sold them for $10 each.

Amazon sold Breaking Bad and Burn Notice box sets for $10 on Cyber Monday. I missed the $10 when I logged on Amazon Monday evening. I was interested in purchasing the second seasons for both of those series.

The Expendables, The Terminator, and Gone With The Wind. Two action movies and a classic movie for $4 each at Best Buy. I have the opportunity to watch The Terminator unedited. I watched it on television edited obviously.

External Storage. I missed Amazon selling a Seagate Barracuda 2TB, 7200rpm 3.5 inch HD for $70 and NewEgg selling a Seagate 3TB, 7200rpm 3.5 inch HD for $90. I have an empty HD enclosure. I ended up purchasing a Western Digital 2TB My Book Essential for $70 at Fry's Electronics.

Compact Flash. I purchased a SanDisk 16GB, 60MB/s for my camera at Amazon for $50.

Flash Memory Sticks. Costco sold a three pack of 16GB for $20 or $6.67 each. Toys R Us was the cheapest selling for $5 each.

T-shirts. Threadless' Black Friday sale included $10 tees. This year, there was no free shipping. I purchased one t-shirt. However, on Tue Nov 27, the day after Cyber Monday, the store offered free shipping. I emailed a complaint they should offered free shipping between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I received a $5 store credit. A few days later, Threadless sold $8 tees.

I was satisfied with my Black Friday 2012. I saved lots of money. There were lots of great deals on TV series and movies. Black Friday 2012 convinced me that if I can wait for Black Friday 2013 to purchase TV series, movies, external storage HD, flash memory sticks, and t-shirts, then I wait. For example, The Dark Knight Rises was recently released. I'm confident I can purchase the movie in BD under $10 next year. I don't need the movie now. I have other movies and TV shows to watch.
