If you purchase each item during the Best Buy Doorbusters sales, the total cost would be $261.96 (tax not included). If, however, you wait to purchase the items on your Best Buy Christmas list, your total would be $409.96 — a total of $148 in savings.

JC Penney Christmas List for the Family

If each item was purchased from JCPenney during their doorbuster hours (4 a.m.-1 p.m.), the total would add up to $759.26. If you just can't convince yourself to fight the traffic — and people — to purchase these items, you may end up spending about $1,347.34 before Christmas.

Most people want to avoid the early wake up call, long lines, bumper to bumper traffic and crowds of people. But for others, the hustle and bustle just may pay off in the end.
