Blurb: At Best Buy in St. Petersburg, Lori Davenport and shopping buddy Tina Thain capped their families' nine-day vigil camped in a tent by the door. Recognized the consumer electronics chain's first in line among than 1,000 stores nationally, each got a free iPad, then went on a shopping spree where htye snapped up a computer router, Blue Ray DVDs, iTunes gift cards and other goodies. Davenport spent about $500 filling her shopping list with half-price items.
"But this was about continuing a family tradition more than the money," said Davenport. "I had a blast. I'll be back next year."
