Turns out, the major stores weren't the only hot spots to hit today.
A local pawn shop in Idaho Falls was busy with all the last minute shoppers.
Plenty of people stopped by to do their last minute shopping, and pawning, to get some extra spending cash.
In fact, lots of people found exactly what they were looking for, that they couldn't find anywhere else.

Marian Wilson: "I went to Wal-Mart and various other places looking for a clock like this and couldn't find it."

Kelsea Shook:"We have a lot of games other stores are out of."

Dee Hayes: "Couldn't find any video games my son wanted anywhere, not anywhere in Idaho Falls. I've been to every video store."

Richard Boardman:" Went shopping today to get a flash and take pictures for tomorrow, none of the stores sell flashes for equipment."

Did you think a pawn shop would have it all.
Not only that but some of these prices are hard to beat.

David Nygard: "Its about two thousand dollars and I sell it for four hundred."

Wilson:"They're cheap and they're affordable prices and sometimes it's the uniqueness of the things you get from here."

Kendra Nygard: "You probably can't find brass knuckles anywhere but pawn shop that's why we come here."

From little things, to the bigger things.

Araksya Karapetyan:"How much does this cost?"
Nygard:"Selling it for nineteen hundred."
Karapetyan:"Nineteen hundred for a platinum ring? Sounds good. It fits. This should be on my Christmas list."

This time of year, it really isn't hard to burn a hole in your pocket at least here you can save a little.

Hayes: "Just a little short on cash so I can come here and get what I wanna get."

And if you don't like what you get this year, you can always pawn it off.
