Black Friday Shopping

I have my TV, pictured above. I left here at four but didn't get out of the parking lot until about 4:30. Someone locked the door to the building so I couldn't get out and needed to go around to the underground parking garage to get out. Good thing I left my patio door open so we could get back in that way. I got to my son's girlfriend's place and hung out with my son for a few minutes before we headed over to Best Buy. I really expected a longer line of people waiting to get into the store with all the stories I've heard from years gone by. We got in there, headed over to electronics, found the TV and then looked around for a little bit before taking grabbing it and heading to the checkout. Checkout was fast. I had three gift cards to help with the purchase. So the end price for me was $176 for a 50" TV. I did well. My son didn't stay to set it up as he needed to get logged in to work. He does Uber and said it would be a good day for it. So, I sent messages to my church friends and already heard back. I'll have it set up today. No problem. The store opened at 5. I was home before 6. I did well. Are you doing Black Friday? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. I'll be setting the TV on the entertainment center right behind the box.

I went out with my husband because he needed a few things, it was a surprise to find a couple of stores that offered Black Friday discounts. Here it's not very common.

@just4him - I did not expect, I was picking up a few things I only noticed when I paid that they took off 50%.

Black Friday is not for me as I seem to have all I need. I´m in a moment of my life in which I´m giving away some of the things I have.

Most of the time that's true for me too. I needed a new TV that worked with Roku and the Internet and a dumb TV doesn't always work the way I need it to.

You did great. Glad you got one. The news here said many people are saying they are not going out this year. Online shopping is a lot easier.

Yes, it is and probably why it was fast and easy in-store.

Is that a smart TV I have a dumb TV still. We have the same brand of TV and it works really good.

Yes, it's a Smart TV. My dumb one is having trouble with the Roku and the Internet. I got a new router and modem on Wednesday, and got the TV this morning. I shouldn't have anymore trouble watching TV. The only trouble I now have is that Alexa isn't working with the Internet.

You couldn't get out of your building because it was locked? Sorry if I misunderstood. I just got a couple things I needed. No big shopping for me.

That's what happened. I checked it later and it was fine. I don't know why or how it got locked. I'm glad you got what you needed.

I got a pillow (my uncle had some sad pillows which has made my shoulder hurt), a wax warmer for my mother (hers got broken by the cats), a diamond painting kit for the guest bathroom, a frame for it, and a new kindle. Yesterday I git a case for my new kindle.

It would take considerable effort even for a bulky guy to grab that TV and head towards the checkout . I guess the store keepers carried it for you. Will you be setting up the TV yourself, or there would be an installation service provided?

The TV was light. It was easy to move it across the floor. A friend set it up for me.

So very happy about your television purchase. You got an amazing deal. I am sure the Packers looked good on it last night.

@CarolDM Thank you. If the Pack can play as they did on Sunday, we could win the rest of the season. It's something to hope for, that is if Aaron Rodgers can play.
