Sophia Barrientos, 30, of Fontana was a bit peeved. Assuming that the recession would thin the shopping ranks, she showed up at the store later than normal and found that the $248 Emerson 32-inch flat-screen TV she was hoping for was sold out.

So she picked up a $368 Vizio 32-inch instead.

“I thought it would be less because of the economy, but it wasn’t,” she said. “This is all I came for. I wanted a sale price, but they were sold out.”
