I keep my credit cards and phone in my jean pocket. With cash I'd seriously consider a fanny pack or the around the neck things with zipper, but CASH makes me paranoid to begin with:(

I had overlooked this since I'm more visual but may pick one up. I got my father a cheap one a few years ago and it died. Plus if I can get a cheaper one on Amazon I can just return it to store easy peazy

good thread/chart for parents looking to get a console for the kiddos.

I'm a master in procrstination, more like I can't help myself. I SCAN them for anything that is a must have but then review for other stuff.

I can't be bothered to go now but may show up hours early or at store opening even tomorrow:P

I'm wondering if I should have gone today in case ppl took all the coats for price adjustments tomorrow

ugh.....One of ours (Disney) is open on Thanksgiving day, I wonder if they'll have any sales. Then we have 2(closest ones) opening at midnight, 1 at 5am and 1 at 9am.

hmmm...keep in mind my bff completely disregards ages listed on toys but how about: an etch a sketch or doodle pro drawing thing, puzzles, hot wheels, toy soldiers or dinosaur set, bath toys, a hooded/character towel, mega bloks, jack in the box, reusable stickers

Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery GP. How's your son doing with college?

and you spend TONS at BB Log into your rewards zone account online to verify though

I have a difficult relationship with BB at the best of times. They either play nice or can take their stuff back and it's no skin off my back:P If I buy it's usually online. The last thing they did was trash my rewards points because they now split them across everything in a purchase so any returns get rid of a portion of your discount. I let it slide ONLY because it was a $5 promotion reward they emailed me, if I'd actually earned it I would have argued tooth and nail. Now I know better in the case I actually earn points from BF buys.

I need to make a list of what I already have

thanks, I have run across the site before but never kenw ANYWHERE posted early ads.

I couldn't agree more. Not that being calm and patient is easy when faced with stupidity or outright ignorance but it is best

I agree it sucks for the employees but I came to accept many years ago that life isn't fair and right doesn't ALWAYS win over wrong. We either accept things and move on or just let it fester and become bitter about it. If anything they learn that to have any semblance of a holiday they need to request the day off ASAP(like now for next year,if even possible). I would love to stroll out of the house leisurely sometime after 6am(my usual wake up time) and find awesome deals any day of the week but I accept it's not going to happen. As it is, I do my best to make sure I get to Target(and stalk these boards like nuts) when they're doing their toy clearance to ensure I have less to worry about on BF. I look at the toy deals this year and find them ridiculous because I have so many brand name toys I bought at 75% off. A deal is a BONUS and nobody should expect it, there are great sale opportunities many times throughout the year if you just look. BF was created to push people to shop and it still does that. I'm sure when it started 6-7 am didn't seem like a suitable hour to be up and at stores but it has evolved like everything else in life. I suppose stores could do it online only (and then only force the phone reps to work) but they count on people actually walking through stores and picking up stuff that wasn't on the list which is less likely on a website.

YAY...Is it sad I come to GD BEFORE checking my email?

Ditto..I was just about to call and see if they were doing any additional off clearance so this is a bonus else I probably would have lost them :)

some have been available the last few years

seems like I may have to drop by tomorrow

LOL....he's doing it for the principle:P

I think 1st sale of the day is 6am pst unless it's earlier next week.

usually starts Monday.

Of course shoppers would STILL go if the sales were the same but that's not happening. They're testing if shoppers will go earlier and unless people want to miss a sale they WILL so I don't see anything going back to later openings.

I think so. I'm pretty sure I used a Blue manufacturer one with one I got from the store quite a while ago. I need to see what coupons I have and what's in the treats. If Bella can't ahve them and they're cheap may order some and mail to brother in Texas for Trina.
