Kohls online, walmart brick and mortar

At least 50%, it varies with sales. This year might be less as I'm hoping for big changes soon

I get nerves but for me i know it's a mix of "will i get what I'm looking for" and what crazyness will i have to deal with. It's the same way if I'm going to a grand opening or other pressure cooker like environments

1. BF shoppers, veterans to newbies (checkout the makeshift tents on the end) 2. Do you think we need another, honey? 3. How NOT to do BF. (Who walks into a store with junk in their hands?!)

Don't think gottadealers will be duped.i think we know what pricepoint we're after so these stores might just stay in the red on BLACK Friday this year

Best is probably years ago when i went with my mom and grandma to kbtoys opening for batman figures for my cousins. We were terrified by some loon in the parking lot upset we'd taken they're space since you know they were CLEARLY indicating from another LANE:) aside from the brief terror of fearing this person would get out of their car and Beat us we had fun in the crazyness of kb and then peacefully got my pc at radio shack. Worst year, possibly last year. Lately I've been starting at Walmart on thanksgiving and they are beyond disorganized. I plan at least a month out for our family and mgmt seems to fly by the seat of their pants. They hand out NEW maps because the ones online had changes made then don't notify employees and wind up following portions of each. You either had to run into what you wanted or wait til you spotted something in someone else's possession and ask where it came from. At least the year before i was able to get disney movies on sale ahead of time because they had apparently opened a stack and mixed on electronics rack...

Predictions are just that....same as forecasting. Weather rarely gets it right, sadly same goes on with call forecasting at work. Same as every year, depending what's on sale and needed, I'll make list and shop online or go out. Don't think much will be needed but definitely need to organize and take inventory before making christmas gift list.

Welcome back bigJim! sorry to hear about relationship:(

I agree, Hoping to win 1 again this year, if not i have plenty previous years designs to choose from.

We got our CrockPot from Kohls online (I think last year) and were at WM Thanksgiving Day to get the sheet sets.We always seem to pick up a couple because the quality is great. WM is the only store that really feels like a hassle on Thanksgiving/BF but I think that's mainly the disorganization. Kohl's is always taken care of prior to BF and I love that, I have never stepped foot in a Kohl's on BF.

10/12 Harbor Freight

Can't get in the mood Feeling stuck in a big way Did i get that right? ...what a year, still something has to give and i FINALLY see that today

Here's hoping the exercise bras drop from 50% off tomorrow...and I wake up in time to drop by before work.

Brad must be taking a pre-BF season siesta

I'm the one who had posted to call credit card companies/banks. I always use credit cards and have had them blocked a few different times during sales. Use them, get points, pay it off and carry on. I just don't like carrying cash, I figure if I'm going to lose something then at least let's not have it hurt as much. Cash is gone but cards can be cancelled/disputed. Exception to the rule was the year before Y2K when I took cash JUST IN CASE...but I think everyone had cash on them that year for the same reason.

I think Amazon continues to alienate customers and push people away. Just this year alone it seems like they've reorganized things so much that even IF you're a prime member and KNOW what deal you're looking for its impossible to find. I'm thankful to have free Prime through my best friend for the odd bluray or book release I'm interested in but Deal-wise I've stopped going to Amazon because they clutter it with so many NON deals and then make searching/sorting practically impossible.

After much back and forth I came out on top Got tv for 75 applied almost $55 rewards from amazon credit card so wound up paying maybe $50 out of pocket for tv and warranty through square trade. Parents are happy and its a big item we don't need to have taking up trunk space on BF. I'm not sure what we'll be picking up this year though.

School was 70 here too.tons of binders notebooks etc left

I do my best with clearance deals throughout the year. I'm always searching for deals,there's no such thing as a quick shopping trip when I'm involved because i scour everything JUST IN CASE

What's the stock like on the phones on sale for BF? I think I upgraded 2 years ago come november and got my S4 for .01 at BB but the S5 was coming out then so might be more of an incentive to wait this year.

We don't have Outlets near us, but there's always horror stories about the parking and lines to GET INTO the parking on BF. To be honest, I only go to the outlets when there's a Disney Character Warehouse in there because I've never found the outlet store prices better than any of my sale/clearance prices at other stores/online.

seems about right...4months. Wow, thats nuts! Need to start decorating for Halloween

Thanks, i signed up

Not sure. Still don't have my new dslr but usually not a huge amount of deals on those. This may be the year i focus on clothes and gifts.
