What's the Perfect Gift Worth?

The day after Thanksgiving is known as the largest sales day of the year. People wait for the sales papers to come out to see if the “hot items” will be in them.
We were up early on Thanksgiving to get our newspaper, which was overstuffed with sales ads. We spent Thanksgiving evening strategically planning our day. We knew where we would be and what time we would be there to ensure that we would get the items we wanted.
However, about 9:00 PM. (Thanksgiving night) I got a call from a secret shopping agent, Joey Marchese (Circuit City manager), who told me that there was already about twenty people in line at Circuit City for the sale on Friday morning.
I wanted that laptop for 2oo.00 and the free desktop which was in the sales paper… badly. Nothing was going to stop me! Did I really “need” them? No! But my sons will need them soon and that was enough reason for me.
So, my friend (visiting for the holidays) and I frantically grabbed some covers and lawn chairs and headed to spend the night in CC parking lot. We watched people come and go. The line grew to nearly 200 by 2:00 A.M. by 4:00 we were feeling the dew falling on us and the crowd was huge.
CC managers came out about 4:00 am to give out vouchers. We were number seventeen of nineteen who would receive on of those laptops for 200.00.
Now, actually getting the items was another story. I was in and out of CC until 9:30 Friday night.They were having computer problems all day. Twenty-four hours spent at CC for this deal! was it worth it? absolutely!

It’s amazing what we will do to get a good deal!
