I tested a Sing-A-ma-jig at Walmart and couldn't buy it. It's the kind of gift my co-worker gives kids to drive the parents crazy along with the kazoo, flute, tambourine etc.

If I had a port-o-poddy I would definitely consider it especially with our weather. Maybe I'll check out the best buy near the house week of Thanksgiving. Although between a late night Taco Bell and Publix in same shopping center I should maybe be good?

not needed. They'll just take up space and cuse confusion. Imagine some poor sod shows up somewhere looking for last years sale:P

I'm not camping out but never have. I have been pushing it earlier for the last few years not sure why though since nothing gotta have or door buster.

this sure has boosted the number of posts, cheers brad

I saw maybe 10 at target a few weeks ago but only 2-3 different ones. I bought some squinkies(? not the zoobles) multi-packs. I figured I'd wait closer to xmas and see if BFF's daughter mentions them else return them.

We've been thinking about starting BUT only because we have some of those tall/fat paper rolls we want to get rid of. Normally it's done the last few days before Christmas.

I thought about it too but I hate when brand/designer names are all over a product.

I wasn't going to mention that til monday

I was able to pick up some of the princess sandwich containers/trays and two boxes of cars sandwich bags plus lots of the storage compartments "for pets" and other miscellaneous stuff at 75% off at an unmarked store, people thought i was crazy with a cart-full and cashier was surprised it all came to 47.xx :) thanks for the heads up those that posted. I was not able to get the little chinese purses my father wanted, oh well.

Don't encourage them StationChief, we don't need the site down again this year for any amount of time

BF=time off, great deals and all nighters

I had one when I was younger and don't think I ever used it. My memory is awful so maybe I did and it was useless hence no memories?

must remember to check OTHER email account(when I get home) in hopes of good news.

That's kinda sad but totally understandable. I remember going out for killer deals I would be upset about not getting and now it's more like "I could use this" or "if they have this MAYBE I'll get it". It doesn't help me being a clearance shopper year round I guess. When you can get great sales year round 50% off or less doesn't mean much.

I fixed it just in case I start a crazy dash to CVS. still got my laptop on the brain but haven't bothered attempting to figure specs I want

thanks for that. I've been meaning to google the reason for the name difference. It's one of those things that irks me when having to try to explain to people that they are the same beast when they argue can't be. The CVS NETBOOK is on the front page of ad this week again.

I believe I have the ads saved still if anyone needs anything post and I'll look. Might be on work pc though:P

strictly credit cards. I also have never added up the amounts but always pay off in full unless there's a no interest attached to a sale.

there were some threads about delays/items not available last year. I specifically remember one about Zune's from a non-major retailer. My online stuff was mostly for myself and from Amazon which gives you an estimated delivery time before purchase. I've reenlisted in prime this year for quick delivery and no minimum purchase for free delivery :) I would second BigJim's comments. I will forever try to order stuff online before heading to store but just be aware that it may fall through. I have problems with Sears on regular sale items and Kohl's too (just not as much) so based on past experiences would stay away from purchasing any MUST HAVE's from Sears online. I'd say a good 50% of my online orders have been returned unavailable and that's only to avoid driving to store to find out item is sold out.

Apart from the tradition, some of the sales are worth it for me. Other stuff I weigh the hassle vs how much I want/need vs the likelihood I'll get it and decide. I am definitely not one of the people that enjoys the hunt, however if you're outside with the right crowd that part can be fun.

I don't think Cyber Monday had much to offer last year. I think RadioShack started a daily/weekly deal around BF last year but only for in-store purchases. The Walmart saturday sales were great and ran after BF. I'm not sure about Xmas Eve sales, I would not be caught anywhere near a mall unless I had to be around that time. Toys Rus also did daily coupons possibly starting before BF last year I'm not sure and had some good sales too.

I'm hoping to spend about the same since I plan on just getting what I actually have plans for, but once the ads show up we'll see how my willpower holds out. I tend to buy multiples because at a great price I can afford it and I know it will get used or gifted.
