Is it less with a .edu address?

Free for 6 months to a year I think.

This is kind of funny actually - no student address, paid the $80, that lapsed, then the free trial and set it up to expire after 30 days. I found you can use any new email address for another free trial. Rinse, repeat with ANY email address every 30 days. They never catch it. We've been doing it for years. :abc:

Nice. Good tip.

If you do the research and don't mind pre-owned stuff- Ebay will always win.



Did you pay $80 for prime or use a fake student .edu address?

You can buy new on eBay.

Yeah, but the best deals are on items that are used.

Hopefully barely used.

That's the way to go when buying a car or motorcycle. But I will not buy a used phone for example from Ebay for hygiene reasons.
 
Wal mart did 10 mil transactions between 6 pm and 10 pm Thursday.
 
I had to go to Walmart today to pick up a prescription. I thought, "Well, it's after Black Friday. How bad can it be?"

It's bad. Really bad.

Sorry to hear Teela. I feel for you. I hate crowded and I hate Walmart so a crowded Walmart would be hell to me.

I have a return to make at Macy's. I was going to do it tomorrow afternoon but you have convinced me. I'll probably wait til February.

I used to love Christmas...but all the commercialism and the mall madness has really taken it down about 10 notches for me.

I wonder if I can get Pogo's insulin from Walmart online? That's the only reason I would have to go there.
 
42 Million Dead In Bloodiest Black Friday Weekend On Record

NEW YORKAccording to emergency personnel, early estimates indicate that more than 42 million Americans were killed this past weekend in what is now believed to be the bloodiest Black Friday shopping event in history.

First responders reporting from retail stores all across the nation said the record-breaking post-Thanksgiving shopping spree carnage began as early as midnight on Friday, when 13 million shoppers were reportedly trampled, pummeled, burned, stabbed, shot, lanced, and brutally beaten to death while attempting to participate in early holiday sales events.

Law enforcement officials said the bloodbath only escalated throughout the weekend as hordes of savage holiday shoppers began murdering customers at Wal-Mart, Sears, and JCPenney locations nationwide, leaving piles of dismembered and mutilated corpses in their wake.

The level of bloodshed this year was almost beyond imaginationno prior Black Friday could have prepared us for this, said National Guard commander Frank Grass, talking to reporters in front of the still-smoldering remains of a local Best Buy that was burned to the ground Saturday. We had fire trucks, police cruisers, and guardsmen stationed at multiple locations, but it was useless. At the moment, hundreds of thousands of American shoppers are still unaccounted for, and we expect $2 billion in damage has been wrought upon our cities.

The stench of death is unbearable, a tearful Grass added. Simply unbearable.

As the weekend of sales drew to a close, ambulances could be seen circling the now empty and completely ravaged shopping complexes as they searched for signs of life, while clean-up crews worked to clear the rubble, overturned cars, and large pools of blood from local Kohls and Macys parking lots.

The White House issued an official response, stating, We mourn the deaths of those 42 million American shoppers who tragically lost their lives this Black Friday.

Survivors of the deadly holiday sales event said that while the weekend began as a chance to get in on some unbeatable post-Thanksgiving deals, it quickly escalated into a merciless, no-hold-barred fight to the death.

At some point in time we all stopped caring about the deals and the holiday shopping and were pretty much just out for blood, said Dana Marshall, 37, a Target shopper who suffered seven broken ribs and a cracked sternum while fighting two other customers for a discounted Nikon digital camera. I remember just sitting on top of a woman and smacking her head with a DVD player until her face was completely unrecognizable. I felt nothing. Absolutely nothing.

The Onion will continue to publish a running list of the Black Friday dead throughout the week.
