Black Friday!

[Dinner]

So what are you buying? I'm thinking about replacing my old Canon PowerShot S400 Digital Elph with a new 10.2 megapixal version. Other then that I'm mostly not buying anything this year. What about you?

That camera is kind of my wet dream point and shoot camera but I haven't found it on sale any where yet.

[OneFootInTheGrave]

you are better off buying Panasonic LX3 for that kind of money... but that's just me & lower MP canons probably do better overall (unless the camera has some other specific function that you need)

[The Mad Monk]

I'm waiting a couple days, until off-white Monday.

Is everyone cutting back this year or are there a few people planning on going on a spending spree?

[Japher]

Wifey and I have been on a pretty tight budget for near on 2 years, since New Years resolution 2007. Debt is manageable but not at the level we want so our present fund is the same it was last year. With school, a new job, and 2 kids money is always tight.

Wal-Mart worker trampled to death

Shoppers stampede as Long Island store opens

NEW YORK– A Wal-Mart worker died after a throng of unruly shoppers broke down the doors and trampled him moments after the Long Island store opened early Friday for day-after-Thanksgiving bargain hunting, police said.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc., in Bentonville, Ark., would not confirm the reports of a stampede at the Valley Stream outlet but said a ``medical emergency" had caused them to close the store.

"Local authorities are looking into the situation," said Wal-Mart representative Dan Fogleman. "Until such time that they've completed their assessment it would be inappropriate for me to share any additional information.''

The 34-year-old Wal-Mart worker was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at about 6 a.m., Nassau County police said. The exact cause of death had not been determined, and the man's name was not released.

A 28-year-old pregnant woman and three other shoppers suffered minor injuries and also were taken to hospitals for observation, said Nassau County police Lt. Michael Fleming of the Fifth Squad.

Police said the shoppers knocked the man to the ground at 5:03 a.m., three minutes after the store opened. It wasn't immediately clear how large the crowd was.

Shoppers around the country lined up early outside stores Friday in the annual bargain hunting ritual known as Black Friday. It got that name because it's historically been the day when stores broke into profitability for the full year.

Many stores open early and stay open late. The Valley Stream Wal-Mart usually opens at 9 a.m.

Nassau County police were at the scene investigating.
