OT - Black Friday / "Support MGoBlog: buy stuff at Amazon" thread
A reminder to all ye consumers: you can support MGoBlog simply by buying on Amazon through the link at the top of the site! You're not even spending any extra money! I just bought me a new Black Friday deal laptop on Amazon and I supported MGoBlog in doing so wheeee!!!
And I avoided this:
Anyone braving the idiocy? If so, for what deals?

Yesterday I saw 2 people camping outside Best Buy. It was Wednesday... problems of our society.

I'm kind of excited to see what you have planned for when you get this account to 100 points. I'm sure it will result in you creating a new account again next week.

I think he crossed 100 then got negbombed back down after making that Jim Harbaugh petition.

WP? Are you WD's little brother?

By far, the most amusing story that I saw in the Detroit area was the dude in Roseville that was employing his brothers to camp out in shifts at the Best Buy nearest them. Indeed, he was interviewed on Channel 7 here and supposedly he had tickets to the Lions game, so I wonder which brother got that shift in the tent while he was at Ford Field. I believe Best Buy has been open for two hours or so now, so hopefully, this guy got back in time to get what he wanted.

That's great... I wonder how much he is paying his brothers and how little he'll end up actually saving on an inferior product.
There's a reason that 50" TV only costs $200

Yea man and tv's are so cheap now compared to 10 years ago you can pay $15 more and buy it a different day without the hassle.

November 27th, 2014 at 8:27 PM ^

I'll accept compliments of my genius below.

What consumer can argue with the convenience and low price of a Blue Light Special?
November 27th, 2014 at 9:33 PM ^
Only a consumer that doesn't have red, white, or blue running through their veins.
November 27th, 2014 at 8:28 PM ^
I know people that do this Black Friday stuff are crazy, but I think the stores themselves are the real problem.
November 27th, 2014 at 8:30 PM ^
Ever since I started using Amazon Prime 4 years ago (maybe it's been longer...), my Black Fridays have been a lot more relaxing.

I'm going out to get BCBS. It's the first time it's being released here in Georgia, however I don't expect it's release to be crazy here.
November 27th, 2014 at 9:10 PM ^
medical insurance on black friday. interesting.
November 27th, 2014 at 9:17 PM ^
Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout or BCBS for short.
November 28th, 2014 at 12:28 PM ^
that sounds like a lot more fun than buying health insurance.

MgoBender, Will this link be up through Christmas? I frequently use Amazon to shop ,and I'd love to support MgoBlog, but usually shop a little closer to Christmas, after [hopefully] a year end bonus.
November 28th, 2014 at 4:15 PM ^
It's been up there for a whil, so I assume it'll be there through the holidays.
November 28th, 2014 at 2:10 AM ^
I've gone a couple times but I'll go black Friday shopping but I go a few hours after they open. I know I won't get any of the "doorbuster" items (fitting name) but that's ok with me I don't want to be a part of that mess.

HOLIDAY30. Not good for kindle or audio!! Must support paper books as well as MGoBlog! Feed that tactile obsession! (Unless they're doing this to clear out the paper. Sigh.) 30% off single book.
PS: Does it help MGoBlog more to click there at the link than on one of the Amazon ads that show up in the ad columns?
EDIT: Small print said shipping may be added, implying that if you qualify for free delivery that may be wiped out. So buyer beware. Buying a single paperback won't make much sense, with shipping that's double the discount. So I think I'll use that for my beveled guilt and turn to the huge pile of paper books already here waiting for me.

It worked on the new Gordie Howe book and Bo's Warriors.
