Too bad they opened at 6 though, the ones in Eastern MA opened at 5.
And so did all of the others! I claim rookie mistake status, but at year 5 doing this, dave had no excuse and kicked hiself about it for quite a while. We noticed as we were driving past a best buy at 5:15 in northern CT and saw people walking in already. Lines were what you\'d expect but we missed out on some of the hot deals. There is nothing specifically special about that best buy according to dave, it\'s just that when he started this tradition 5 years ago, there were no best buys in ct so that was the closest one. Now he\'s just used to going there because he knows the place so well. Also, mass has %5 sales tax instead of %6 in CT, which does make a difference when your spending alot of money.
I have to give dave praise, he\'s a pro when it comes to shopping. It\'s all about doing your homework and knowing what stores have the best deals and rebates at what time and hitting them up. No one is better than dave at that. There were not that many great deals this year, but I\'d definetly do it again.
