All you Wilkes-Barre ppl: Where you planning on shopping???...Im a rookie at this and I am going to need some advice!! Let me know cool people!

There is a KOHLS right off I-81 Exit 168 I believe...Just get off the exit..Make a left a the light...Go straight for a bit...You will pass a bunch of restaurants and stores including walmart ..You'll pass a big vacant parking lot,then the kings college activity field... Next to that theres a sam's club...Turn left into there and Sams club is right next to Kohls ...

Hope this helps...

floridasun5 · **11-1-2009, 8:56 AM**

I still dont know if I am going out this year yet as I really only need 1 or 2 things and am waiting to see the ads, but if anyone else is in Altamonte Springs, FL or around Orlando/ N. Orlando let me know.

There's not a Dick's down here, and as far as Bass Pro, all of the stores will have the doorbuster deals, and this one is CRAZY from now until Christmas. I love the outlets at the Lake, but the only thing I have to compare them to is Branson, which I don't care for.

Springfield is so crazy, you can only make it to one or two stores in 6 hours. Way too few stores for so many people. There's only one of each (except Walmart and K-Mart ) for the million people in the city and outlying 'suburbs'.

Thanks!!!. I am about 40 minutes from Middletown NY, and about an hour from Wilkes Barre. I am getting to know the area since my kids swim on the Delaware Valley swim team and we travel to Wilkes Barre/Scranton area for quite a few meets.

Depending on the ads will see where I am going!!!!

madi5 · **11-1-2009, 8:19 PM**

Which BB are you going to? I'm in TO and am thinking about camping out at a BB this year if they have a good enough ad. When are you planning on going?

BnM · **11-2-2009, 6:30 AM**

I'll be in Portsmouth NH but due to lack of licence, I'll be the dude whom is walking

I also live near all of the prime shopping places around here, so I can go back and fourth.

Hi there read that you are interested in Laptops. My mother Works at a Walmart she told me they are supposed to have some type of laptop for $150.00. Just letting u know.

CharChar · **11-2-2009, 9:56 AM**

Orange County, CA.. I generally have about 6-8 of us, but we always have room for more.

We get there about 10-11am on Turkeyday and are either 1/2 or 3/4 and by 11:30-12 the next set of people are there.

I'm in Glencoe, not sure where I'm going yet or if my son is able to go with me. I always miss out on the good deals for him because he loves to come and I don't want him to know what he's getting so I either wait til later in the day or pay higher price later.

Klownicle · **11-5-2009, 12:20 PM**

I'll be game for bestbuy this year in sarasota, fl. I expect to be first, as I was last year. Don't think ill need a shopping partner, but always enjoy to chat with people.

O.K. now cheer up!! What area will you be shopping at. We are in Baytown Texas. P.M. me if you are going to be close to us and we will get a game plan together.

queenofshopping · **11-5-2009, 8:39 PM**

I think it's interesting that, in the years I've been on here, this is the first time I've seen a thread like this; perhaps it normally doesn't get much of a response because, as all the ads start coming out, it gets bumped down and people miss it? Just a thought.

Definitely wish I'd known about this in years past. I always go alone.

cd_stl · **11-5-2009, 10:59 PM**

I live in the St Louis area but shop on the Illinois side. We shop the OFallon/Fairview Heights area. They still have a Krispy Creme!

I live in the St. Louis area and I know of two Krispy Kremes still in the area, South County & Fenton.

I use the live in the Illinois area and do my shopping in Fairview Heights / O'Fallon.

Lusha120 · **11-6-2009, 8:29 AM**

west michigan area, muskegon, always looking for more buddies! I usually only get one year out of people because I am 'too hardcore' for them! looks like trus, oldnavy , sears , meijer .....? have a krewe hitting k-mart , biglots ( I need furniture) other side iof town and an out of town walmart . Pm me if your interested and hardcore enough! lol.

khrysta · **11-8-2009, 11:12 PM**

Grand Rapids, MI here... I'm usually hardcore about going it alone, but last year, the hour and half long checkout line at Kohls started to change my mind. I watched some smart shopping partners get in line as soon as they got inside and then they took turns shopping and waiting in line.

Springfield is so crazy, you can only make it to one or two stores in 6 hours. Way too few stores for so many people. There's only one of each (except Walmart and K-Mart ) for the million people in the city and outlying 'suburbs'.

I couldnt imagine Columbia as packed as Springfield, but it is plenty crowded. Only one of each store in Columbia as well (except 3 Wal-mart ) and most of the main stores are close to each other with exception to Kohl's which is the other side of town. The Columbia Mall houses Target, Sears , JC Penny, Barnes & Noble, Gamestop (among others and is across the road from Dick's, Old Navy , & Macy's which is across the road from Best Buy . Close by is Toys R Us . Another exception is Bass Pro, it is also a bit out of the way, but it is located close to Menards (which I've yet been to).

So its spread out a bit, but if your able to manage your time, then it should be fairly easily. A couple years ago, I hit the mall for a gift package at 6, shopped a few stores there, hit Circuity City (which killed me time wise), Best Buy , 2 Wal-marts , across town to Kohls , a few other stores, the back to the mall all by 11. The longest time waiting was CC (which I waited in checkout line for an hour and a half) and Kohls . Also went with casual shoppers which slowed me down.

What stores are you interested in, I might be able to help you with a plan on getting around Columbia.

Another choice might be Jeff City, not quite as many choices, but they have a large amount of places too, I've never shopped there though.

I am intrigued, when do you start waiting in line? I am slightly close to Simi. Ok not that close but the closest compared to the rest of the posts

Bookashow · **11-9-2009, 12:29 AM**

Always head out with my bff's, but didn't see anyone post from Southern NJ...thought we'd say hi if we see each other out! We go to TRU, BB, Deptford Mall and shop til we drop!

I probably won't be in Portsmouth. Only if TRU has something great. Won't even attempt BB! A couple of years ago the line went past Barnes & Noble at 8:30 Thanksgiving night! I'm good!

I'm hoping for a good Staples ad, then I will be in Seabrook. If there is a really good Wal-mart ad I will be in Epping.

Your post made me smile, I lived in Seabrook/ Amesbury/ Salisbury and I miss home so much, we have been in FL now for 11 years and I hate it.

Do you live in Sarasota? I am in Port Charlotte and depending on the deals I am torn between Sarasota, Fort Myers and the brand new Port Charlotte store this year.
What time do you get there to be first?
