Dec. 1st or so...

Moving to the deal finder section, since this isn't truly "Black Friday"-related.

OfficeDepot or Staples for their 6am opening, then the other, then OfficeMax for their 7am opening. After that, who knows? If OfficeMax decides to open at 6am this year, that could really screw things up!

Usually when we start receiving ones sent to us... http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Holidays/icon_redface.gif

One workaround for spelling is to run things through www.spellcheck.net.

l_lhennessy -- OK, I'm curious... What did you get at TSC?

Yeah, that comes down to "what is your time really worth"? Personally, I'd rather catch a few hours of shut-eye than risk catching a cold for a $10 gift card...

All items free throughout the store with purchase of the receipt! http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Rude/thtomato.gif

Please continue this discussion over here, as already pointed out by the OP, all of this is already being discussed here: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=44592

Your husband was afraid of the Elmo?

Yup... I'm going to close this thread up to avoid duplication.

It would have to be E-X-A-C-T-L-Y the same. On big ticket items, they could probably deny you for differences like "Model 102043021b" vs. "Model 102043021m". And they won't price-match if the reason the other store is cheaper is through a mail-in rebate.

Nice find! http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Hello-Bye/chestram.gif

Last year it was 4:30 am fpr Sam's Club's 5 am opening, but this year it'll probably 5:15 am for OfficeDepot/Staples 6:00 am openings.

If you planned it right, maybe you could do all your shopping in Grove City and then drive home to Erie after you were all done? That would save you from having to hurry back to Erie. I'm just suggesting it, I have no idea of the stores in your area...

Our local Cold Stone is donating 100% of the profits from the entire day's sales to Make-A-Wish.

My wife and I went to the Baltimore Aquarium, we pre-purchased our tix through AAA. At the time of purchase, I didn't think the $1.50 off each ticket was a big deal.... But on the Saturday we went having pre-puchased our tickets saved us easily 90 mins. in line!

My wife went in for the Kate Spade purse special, but they lady ahead of us bought all of the nice ones. The rest were granny bags. They only had 10 or so total.

mar0044 -- Usually with these kind of things, go with your "gut". If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
