I didn't end up getting very much. There wasn't a whole lot that I genuinely needed. We need a new tv and a new bed. Everything else is a want. I bought a lot of yarn at Joanns. No it's not electronics but I'm making gifts this year and the prices were fab!! Totally different crowd of people in there from Walmart. Instead of fighting with each other people were going up & down the line - do you have a coupon dear? Do you need one? Do you want an extra one? LOL

I wanted the $9.44 griddle from Walmart. I didn't think I'd get it arriving past noon. Sorry but I'm not fighting crowds for a silly griddle!! LOL As I suspected it was gone but I got chastised by some clerk who didn't even know what a griddle was in the first place, for not getting there at 5am if I wanted it. Um....ya sure buddy! Fight people for a $10 item that's regularly, what, $20. Not happening and considering you didn't even know what the item was at all....maybe pick up a book or two before chastising someone. Sheesh!

I did however, quite unexpectedly, end up with a tv from the Walmart flyer at around 3 in the afternoon. Electronics wasn't a zoo so I thought I'd peruse the floor to see what they had in the $400 range. I got the last ticket for the Samsung 40" LCD tv for $428. Ok. Twist my arm. We have to set it up today. Taking the old heavy arse one down from the shelf is going to be a nightmare though.

I got some iTunes gift cards from Sams Club for $79.23. They were a set of four $25 cards. So I saved a smidge over $20 on $100 iTunes cards. Hubby will be pleased.
