Shopping hangover?

What did I miss?

I didn't hit the stores on Black Friday or surf the web yesterday for Cyber Monday deals. Did I miss anything? I usually don't take advantage of "blockbuster" sales on items, because the sales are usually on items I don't really want anyway.

Black Friday shopping traffic and sales results may have been marginally better than last year, according to the news reports. Meanwhile, Cyber Monday sales were reportedly strong.

Did you buy anything online? If so, what? And from where? Links please!

The only things I bought on Amazon on Friday, a book for my minimester class and a Wii game, weren't part of the fiasco. Amazon did give me a second free trial of Amazon Prime though, so I guess that's something.

I bought one item online that was on sale. Mostly though, the stuff I picked up was more a matter of trying to get it out of the way and early enough to take advantage of free shipping.
