I have a couple of things that I have been looking for that I was hoping would be on sale during the holiday season: portable DVD player(s) for the minivan and new cordless phones for the house. We didn’t find any particularly great deals on DVD players, but a couple of places had these Panasonic DECT phones on sale for $50. I had actually planned on trying to go in to Sears this morning, figuring it would be less crowded than Circuit City, and buying the phones. But lucky me! Sears put them on sale yesterday on their website. Yes, their Black Friday deal was released on Thursday, on their website so I didn’t have to fight the crowds. I almost biffed though by checking “store pickup” instead of using their free shipping. Store pickup would have involved actually going in to the crowded store! So instead, we’ll wait a couple of extra days to get them shipped to us. And then hopefully the battery will last more than 30 minutes, and we won’t get crazy static all the time.
Now, to see about that DVD player. We’re going to need it if the 8-10 hour drive up to Michigan for Christmas is going to be tolerable…
