I am of two minds about this. I love BF sales. If the BF sales are bad then the deals for the rest of the month are generally spectacular.

I have to work thanksgiving night and the next so BF is out for me this year. If I see a certain item i have to have my sister who hates BF shopping said she will go for me.

I hope the toy deals are better, and online! Last year was the first year in a long time that I didn't hit TRU first. Nothing I wanted from them was part of their "early bird" sale. I'm shopping from home this year so I hope they have great deals and free shipping on a low minimum...just to be safe I'm not buying too many toys ahead of time, so I can meet a minimum of $75 or so if that's what they do.

My daughter is a huge Barney fan, so I hope I can get Barney toys on sale.

I hope the Bratz dolls and accessories are on sale, also Kim Possible. My daughter is now obsessed with them!

It seems that most TRU sales make it onto Amazon / TRU site. Hopefully the same will be true on BF.

Last year, I did my BF shopping for TRU and Kaybee toys online on Thanksgiving night (after midnight) and the Friday morning deals were applicable for me. I hate to admit I still went to Target at 4AM with my friend even though there wasnt anything there I wanted. It's tradition lol.

I sure hope they are better, I don't know if the deals last year could get any worse. Lets hope the retailers get a clue this year and make deals so I can be seperated from my money!

Most places run free shipping for BF items online

That would be sweet since last years deals fell a bit short in my opinion

I heard Walmart was very disappointed in their sales and will really be aggressive in their toys this year. That made me happy!

Amen to that!!! For those of us shopping for toys, it looks like it could be a good year.

I hope it's something that I'm looking for, or if it's a good enough deal it really don't have to be on my list. I'll get it and give as one of those "at the last minute, I need a gift" things. lol

For some reason, the deals didn't seem too good last year.

Hopefully it'll be different this year.
