Happy Black Friday

So to review, it’s “black” because that’s the day that retailers actually make a profit.  

In November.  After selling crap all year.  

And in order to do so, they have to cut prices even further… well, maybe.  They certainly charge less today than other days, whether it’s a real price cut or not is still to be determined.

But in any case, I just purchased the following in AMAZON.COM’s Black Friday sale:

Sony STR-DG520 5.1 Audio Video Receiver $169
The Hulk (Blu-Ray disc) $15
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Blu-Ray disc) $17
Star Wars – Episode I, The Phantom Menace (Widescreen Edition) (DVD) $15
(some gifts for the kids… not posting them here)
Global Distinctions Buy-One-Get-One-Free Ottoman Set, Black ($40)

All told I spent about $300 bucks this Black Friday.  I hope the economy appreciates it, as I’m done spending.  How’d you do this holiday season?
