Sources close to Mary Suttles reports that the red eye shopper is closer than ever to purchasing the Sony 42 inch LCD television that she has been waiting all night for. Mary has been waiting outside the Best Buy for six hours anticipating the store’s Black Friday deals. The television in question is listed at $799 but going for the black Friday one time price of $499, a savings of $300. Mary, who had to request off work for the day (without pay) is hoping to nab the television for her husband, who was recently laid off from his job.
“He could sure use some cheering up and this television would sure do the trick”, says the thrifty bargain shopper who is missing out on her $120 daily wage. Sources close to Mary report that she is nowhere near the dwindling stack of televisions that would put her mind at ease. “It only happens once a year so it’s worth the wait”, says the woman who was awarded a $90 parking ticket this morning for parking in a handicapped spot.
Sources close to Mary later reported that she finally got her television. After waiting at Best Buy for a grand total of 7 hours and 26 minutes Mary finally made her way to the check out where she eventually purchased the television. Sources report that Mary decided to use her credit card instead of her check card for the purchase. Unbeknownst to Mary this purchase put her over the limit on her card, which will conveniently charge her a $50 limit fee plus $25 for each day that she is over her limit.
“The deals are out there. You just have to be smart,” says Mary. Sources report that the $300 savings on the television will have cost Mary an additional $360.
