Thought Provoking Thursday, Black Friday Style!!

With Black Friday only 4 minutes away I would like to dedicate this Thought Provoking Thursday to it!  I have only participated in Black Friday Festivities once in my life and I will probably never do it again!  That was enough to satisfy me for probably forever!!  :-)  So, here is what I wanna know:

If you could get one awesome good deal on Black Friday what would it be?

I think mine would be to go to a store and get an Ipod Touch for $50 and get a free Garmin GPS with purchase!!  Those are the only things on my Christmas List this year!  I would probably wait in line for 4 days if they had a deal like that!!  

So tell me, what is your awesome deal that you would like to get?
