I did go to Ace hardware this morning. But it was because I needed some nuts (non black friday type!) and bolts. With all the Ace commercials I seen I was dreading the worst but to my surprise the parking lot was almost empty and I was able to get what I needed and bail within 10 minutes.
I think it is the places that sell the electronics that really get hit hard. I seen on the news that this lady waited outside Best Buy from 10:30 P.M. the night before in the freezing cold, it was like 30 degrees outside and snowy. I wanted to hear what she bought but they didn't say... probably a $15 CD
Me, I I'll buy the stuff online from home and sit in my nice warm home and wait for the UPS to deliver the stuff...
