From the Orlando Sentinel: Itzaida Díaz plans to spend more than $1,500 at Best Buy on Black Friday, and she's willing to camp out in front of the store for nearly a week to make sure she gets the best deals.
"We're really doing it for my son who landed second in line last
year. He has a very competitive spirit," said Díaz of east Orange
County, who set up two tents outside the East Colonial Drive electronics
retailer Saturday night. "He wants a Toshiba 40-inch flat-screen TV, and we're also getting tablets, Sony PlayStations, Blu-ray players and other things."
Since Díaz and her family are first in line, they'll receive tickets to Best Buy's limited-quantity doorbuster deals when the store opens Thursday at midnight.
"I know this is crazy, but we're actually spending quality time together, and we can save up to $200 at the same time," said Diaz, who is taking off time from work as an accountant. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/os-best-buy-black-friday-campers-orlando-20121119,0,2441709.story
My guess is that after expenses, the savings of $200 is going to be more like $20, if they are lucky. And that doesn't even include the amount of lost wages. And they person is an accountant? ?this is one person I would not recommend doing your books. And you can spend quality time at home or going on walks etc.
And more: Díaz's daughter Ayanara García, said the lights and concrete floor
make for tough sleeping conditions, but it's worth the discomfort.
"I want to be the first to get the Sims 3 Supernatural [video game]," said 12-year-old Ayanara. "I've been watching videos on YouTube, and it looks really fun. So of course, this is worth it."
Oh yeah, teaching the kid to skip out of school is a good family value.
Idiots and morons.
