Been busy online shopping this morning.

Bought a 15" 2.3GHz, 512Gb SSD, 16Gb RAM MacBook Pro this morning. Normally $2,599 since launch and Apple has a fairly crappy sale going on today where you get a $150 Apple Gift Card. Instead I went to MacMall which was offering the $150 as a straight discount and doesn't charge sales tax (at least in my state). I also went to MacMall via BigCrumbs, whose cashback for MacMall has risen this morning from 2.5% to 3.78%. Paid with an AMEX card for the free 1 year warranty extension.

Also went to TigerDirect and bought Windows 7 and Parallels 9 for $130, navigating via the ShopDiscover portal for 5% off and paying with an AMEX card that was synced with a $30 rebate if you spend $100 offer (so net cost approx $94).

Finally bought (more) Sears $50 gift cards via Shop Discover (10%), using my Discover card (5%) that's synced to Plink (6%) for a toyal of 21% off each card. Using these cards in Sears to buy Amazon and Shell gas gift cards.

Stop and Shop is offering 4x gas points on (any) gift card purchases until 5th December (maximum discount $2.20 off a gallon) so this, with the remainder of my gas purchase at 21% off will see me paying about a buck a gallon for Shell gas for the remainder of the year!

I went to Walmart last night for some bread and milk and was almost killed by a flying 'Artist Set'

As far as I'm concerned Black Friday is everything that is wrong with the western world. Rampant consumerism fulled by never ending private debt.

Some stuff from Toysrus yesterday. The stuff I wanted was on their online early release sale so that was great. Also ordered some Gymboree stuff as everything was half off. Did Victoria secrets online yesterday too. I've done really well with the deals this year and all from the comfort of my own bed.

For anyone that's got a Discover card, many Sears sell TRU gift cards, so the 21% off I referenced above can apply there as well.

I think I shall wait for cyber Monday rather than battle with the crowds of mentalists.

I bought a couple of PC games through Amazon/Steam and that's all I'll be bothering with today. It's rare that I get 4 days off in a row so I'll be using them to relax.
