Laptop for $249.99 at Target

If you need a new laptop, you are probably not going to find a better deal than the one at Target this week.  Starting today, Sunday August 5th, a Gateway laptop that is regularly priced at $379.99 is now only $249.99.  Obviously, this is an exceptional deal.

Apparently, the Target near me received so many phone calls, the workers expected a small mob to show up on Sunday.  I happened to be in the store on Saturday night looking at the sad two laptops sitting in the case.  I made an important decision on Sunday morning.  Ordering online is a way better idea than getting in a fist fight over the only two Gateway laptops sitting in a display case.

So if you need a new laptop, you can visit your local Target to see if they have any in stock.  Chances are, they don't.  In this situation, Target is not issuing rainchecks or substitutions.  I feel like the best bargain of all is staying home and ordering the laptop online.  Sometimes it is worth paying the shipping cost instead of being trampled at 8 AM on a Sunday morning to fight over a laptop.
