Black Friday vacuums

[fan-of-fans]

I noticed in the Walmart Black Friday sale they have a Bissell 3 in one stick vac for $9 I believe. It looks similar to what I used to have. They also have a Eureka Mighty Mite for $25, but it doesn't look like most I have seen. I remember a few years ago they had the Durabrand bagless canisters for about $9. Those Durabrand appliances Walmart had were usually were extremely cheap.

Several stores were advertising Dysons and Sears had their Kenmore Progressive and Crossover canisters advertised.

Also Lowes had a very cheap hand vac with a hose and attachments once for $5 a few years back. I'm sure they weren't of much use. LOL

We are running Royals 30% off, and Riccar vacs $100 off through Christmas Day. Unfortunately, there's not a real line developing out in the store parking lot till around 4am (kidding).

Black Friday is the day after our Thanksgiving. Its one of the busiest shopping days of the year, and most stores have some spectacular sales, and open up much earlier than normal.
People tend to go crazy about it.

every one at the shops , my idea of hell, I hate busy shops except my own that means $$$$$$. I never go to the shops if I can help it, Joane does all that I can't handle crowds

The worst thing was going to the store at 6am in the morning to stand in a freezing cold line to snag some door buster deal that they only had 5 or 6 of. Only to find that there were already 50 people in line, the first 7 of whom camped out in sleeping bags and cots the night before. What has our culture come to?

Yeah, that got real old after a couple of years. It's a sport one can only suffer for so long.

I hear the sales are starting the evening of Thanksgiving this year. No need to camp out. Still, no thanks. I'm getting too old and sensible for that sort of thing.

I agree my time is more valuable than the savings I will make, you can always make more money , you can't make more time

I heard on the radio this morning that a woman was arrested because she brought mace with her to the store as she wanted to make sure she kept people away from the things she wanted to purchase!

I don't go to the Black Friday sales, because as others mentioned they only have about 5 of the big items at most, and people sometimes camp out for a few days before the sale to get them. And most of the time the other smaller items aren't a great deal. The only time I have been is in the afternoon/evening after the crowds are down.

I guess I should have posted this thread in Off-Topic, as I have gone off topic of vacuums.

My mom and sometimes I used to go. Getting up at 2 in the morning and camping out, only to find they never have enough of anything, and then that honestly, the sale discounts are hardly great. Sure you can save a few bucks, but in the long run you actually don't save much.


Last year, I remember an employee at a shopping store was trampled and killed on black friday. People go to the hospital from injuries and just all hell seems to break loose.


Staying home nice and cozy, and sleeping in!

Black Friday refers to the business terms "In the Black" or "If it's black, write it" meaning that any transaction that loses money is considered "In the Red" and any transaction that is profitable is "In the Black" Black Friday is typically the day out of the year in which most stores become profitable for the year. Until Black Friday most retailers use all proceeds to pay bills and buy product. On Black Friday, they reach the point of profit and all sales from then until the end of the year are pure profit.

The lady at Wal-Mart was trying to get an XBox 360 and used her peppers spray to get to the front of the line, sending 20 people to the hospital.

Black Friday

My vac shop is closed today (closed locally, but open on eBay) Seems like no one wanted to buy a Hoover Elite (which was 75% off regular price)

I think Black Friday really doesn't have anything appealing on special these days now; but I think the day after Christmas day has better deals?

WalMart

Had the Lux Classic for only $99. Too bad I didn't buy it!

Although it's a rebuilt one, it also had all the tools & combo floor/rug tool.

 

[sleepdoc]

What???

Wal-Mart had an Aerus vacuum, and for $99? That would get me into Wal-Mart - what an awesome present that would make for the price!

 

[vacman117]

I find it hard to believe that Walmart would have an Aerus, and for $99... I have never seen one at any Walmart, and it is not listed on their website.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Same here he keeps

saying that but never has any proof ie an ad or picture at Walmart . I called the main headquaters and they say they have never sold Aerus Branded vacuums in any of their stores just electrolux (eureka) .

Mace

OMG

She brought mace to the store to mace people that got in the way of the items she wanted!

LOL!

And the sad thing is .........I believe it..

People are C R A Z Y!

I should know...I was a telephone operator for almost 9 years

 

[lovecanisters]

the Eureka Power Mite Walmart advertised for $25.00 is in stores now for $19.00, at least here in Raleigh....I purchased one today for $19.00...I may open it and use it in the garage or leave it sealed and sell it on Ebay 20 years from now...lol...I almost never go to Walmart, but stopped in there today...the Walmart closest to me had 2 pallets with a huge sign...$19.00 I'm sure this vacuum is crap, but I couldn't resist it at $19.00...crazy I know...

I didn't see that Aerus canister at my local Walmart or on their website...I would have snatched that up for $99.00...

Aerus at WalMart

I think it's only those in South TX (Laredo, Corups Christy, Brownsville areas) that sell them; not sure about San Antonio area?

The WalMart in Laredo that I shop at & saw the Lux Classic is at Loop 20.
