    Actually, they are. They're just not major appliances. They're in the category of small appliances. Appliances are pretty much any electrical or mechanical device that does a chore of some sort.

    True - I guess I was being nitpicky, since they just said appliance, not small appliance...and I don't really think of them as that either.

      Being Walmart, though, I consider it a given that it's small appliances, since they don't sell major appliances. But I guess that's my own nitpick.

      But yeah, you get what you pay for with those $2 appliances. Grandma gave me one of the cheapo BF crock pots (small) when I went to college, and it broke within the year.

      I generally don't trust anything electrical that goes on Black Friday doorbuster pricing. Nine times out of ten it's horribly unreliable, and you have to wrestle other sale-crazed customers to get to it in the first place. Not for me, nope.

        One of my sisters has the same problem. She's not dumb by any means, but math beyond the basics makes no sense to her. Of course when we were in school, back in the day, they just thought if you didn't get it, you were lazy. She never got any help with it at school, and we didn't even know there was a name for this until a couple years ago.
        actually as it turns out it might be another issue with me.....it's in off topic.

          Yeah, tell me about it. You're lazy, or you aren't trying hard enough, or you could do it if you payed attention.

          Story of my freaking life.

          I wonder if I kicked one of these teachers out of the second story math building window, could she pay attention and try hard enough to not go splat on the sidewalk like a sack of soggy compost?

          It's worth a try.

              Lets face it, Christmas shopping as a whole is messed up, but yes, Black Friday does exemplify it.

              The holiday is generally supposed to be about good will and such. When was the last time we had a Black Friday without a news report of someone getting seriously injured and/or killed by their fellow shoppers desperate to save a few bucks?
              Something kind of sad about the way that things have come to be.
              Desensitized to everything, what became of subtlety?

                I remember once at Myer's (AussieLand), getting a dress (that was originally $95) for $7.50 after clearance/markdowns/discount etc. Nothing wrong with it either, apparently 'out of season' - bah. Lol... .and it was gorgeous!!

                  Yeah, it's awesome when you can get a deal like that. But I'm not about to go racing people at the crack of dawn just to get it. Not worth it.

                    Oh this wasn't during a big sale or anything. Just a normal day.

                      I've got a different set of troubles, but yeah. So INFURIATING.

                      I don't ask others to fly, so why do they want to pretend my limits don't exist?

                      And as far as the the guy in the OP...*raises eyebrow*. $10 savings isn't worth 4 hours of freezing. It's not. Twit widget.

                            At 3:45 am on Black Friday, there was one person in the clearance rack at the Kohls I was in. That would be my girlfriend.

                                No, though the thought crossed my mind if even only briefly when she decided I needed to wake up after sleeping four hours (after being awake 25 hours straight, after 5 hours of sleep the previous night). But given the game-players and hoebags I've dated in the past, I'll keep the anti-sleep clearance shopper.
