Circuit City, WHA??
Alright, so my son wants a digital camera for Christmas, and Wendy and I are trying to find the best possible deal. My son is only eight years old, so I don't want to drop a bundle on a camera for him yet. Wait and see how well he takes care of it, how much he actually uses it... and, if he really gets into it, in a couple of years I'll get him a nice one with all the features he wants.
So I'm browsing through the Circuit City online sales ad for Tomorrow's big sales, and I see what appears to be a really great deal:

Pretty good looking camera, right? I mean, for the price, you can't beat it. So I decide to click on it and get more information, and then I see the REAL price of the thing:
Somebody screwed up. I have to think that the actual price is the one with only two digits left of the decimal point. Nobody would pull this kind of bait and switch scheme, would they?

Happy Thanksgiving to you, and Wendy and your wonderful kids.
We travelled all day yesterday to spend Thanksgiving with my hubby's family. We will be gorging in about two hours from now. I can hardly wait!
Enjoy your holiday!!

I WAS looking to get a new digital camera, maybe a Canon Elph or a Nikon or something in the $300-500 range that was compact but, unlike my crappy polaroid, had OPTICAL zoom and more than 2X. I was thinking Best Buy and after seeing the Circuit City pricing, I'm still thinking Best Buy. :)
I haven't tried it yet, but my friend sent me this link for finding sales in your area: http://www.shoplocal.com
Think of it as a sneak preview Phantasmic Link to beat Black Friday. Happy Thanksgiving! And watch out for all the upiopchs....

OK, getting more and more into your blog here ... ... the funniest thing is that I had an anti Best Buy rant at right about the same time. Good stuff - hilarious typo.
