At 10 am her cousin called to report that Toys R Us had plenty and did she still want one.

Then driving up to work and then probably hit walmart in the afternoon. I just have to look at the ads of what I really want. I want a crockpot at Walmart for 3 dollars.

Originally Posted By LuLu I used to enjoy the strategizing, and the great prices, but the stores open just too early now. Seems to me it used to be 6am was the earliest, then 5am, now 3am?!? Too early. We do have a recently-built Kohls that isn't allowed to open before 9am, so I may hit that one. I've been wanting a hand blender forever, and they have one for under $10 after the sale, extra discount, and rebate. DD wants one too. But no more shopping sprees for clothes and household things like I used to. And fortunately I only need to buy a few presents, which I'd rather buy at a less hectic time.

Originally Posted By markymouse We are 100% against Black Friday shopping. But our youngest has a birthday that always falls soon after Thanksgiving.

We saw the choices at Target and Toys R Us, but didn't quite make our final decision. That was a week ago. Then a minor emergency came up. And now it's three days before his birthday, and there's no bicycle. I think I'll get dressed as soon as I wake up and get to Target as early as I can. It opens at 4! But I won't be THAT early.

Originally Posted By Labuda So, I just decided to go ahead and buy a Wii today.... went online and looked around and TOTALLY scored... bestbuy.com has the same Wii that they had as a doorbuster this morning for the same price and I didn't have to line up yesterday to get the deal... just leisurely headed to bestbuy.com around 10 am and bought it. $191 after tax & $10 shipping, but sleep: priceless Can't wait to get Epic Mickey and Wii fit.

Originally Posted By hopemax I had an awesome BF. Got everything on my list, didn't have to wait too long to check out (except at Kohls, which I knew going in). And to top it off, my Mom called from WDW. At the "scratch & dent" Cast Member store, they were selling Dooney & Bourke purses for 75% off. Some had significant issues, but others were minor. So now I have two new purses!
