Crazy Mama

HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS??? I hope it smells amazing! I need this for my office!

My grandma doesn't have wi-fi so I guess I'm stuck heading to a store.

Gah I know it's taking forever!

I plopped my point down at Best Buy in Franklin TN.

1. What store do you think will have the best Black Friday ad this year? 2. Do you anticipate shopping in stores on Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, both or neither? 3. What time do you think Walmart will begin their Black Friday sale this year (day and time)? Well 1. Target 2. Both, but I will not skip our family dinner at 5pm to attend, but would before or after. 3. I think Thanksgiving Day around 3pm.

Line cutters, or rather those who stand in the parking lot and openly mock the line "I'm about to beat you, and you, and you" and when the doors open they run right up and do. I still remember in early 2000s this woman clapping and mocking the line and laughing at us "Oh you look so tired, I'm well rested" I was never more glad to learn about the tickets being handed out at Best Buy because that memory is one of my most annoying.

personally against it.

I hope more stores buck the trend to go earlier and instead keep the opening times on Friday. I also heard DSW shoe warehouse was going to do Friday. Wishing the big box stores will listen. We have dinner at 5pm out in the boonies and I always had time to get back and kids in bed before going out at like midnight / 2am. I'll just get online deals when/where I can before dinner that night, but Can't do the 6pm.

I like Freesia's prediction, I bet it's accurate!

I think you should make the resuable shopping bags, you know the new green ones that are all the rage. :)

Memphis, TN ... well Germantown more likely.

I LOVE the cell phones and pagers. Nice.

Sometimes I've done white chocolate. My favorite is just Reese's PB Chips. Yuuuuuummmmmmmmmm!

Last year I found the same thing, we got there around 11pm and everything that wasn't wrapped up was in people's carts at Walmart. SO I guess that just means 10pm and know what happens and expect it. I'd rather go back to 5am everywhere. Less staggering seems to mean you pick the most important not "oh walmart at 12, Target at 3, K-Mart at 5, Radio Shack at 6, etc)

Gah! This will so not work in Memphis. Too many line cutters and security doesn't want to get stabbed or anything if they try to stand up. Honest people would listen sure, but you know when people start running in - I don't know how they will be able to stop that hoard of people.

Speculation. Obsession. Other ion words. Oh and you so bowed to the peer pressure, but thanks for it.

Aw yeah! welcome back, forum! Like an old friend coming home for the holidays!

I like your thinking!

Mighty Beanz 3 pack for $.31 at B&M Target The Mighty Beanz 3 pack are on clearance for 90% off! They must have been considered seasonal merchandise because they are ringing up at the % off the same as seasonal. DPCI# 087-06-2233

Thanks for the ad Brad!

they want people in the store all night long. Not too dumb but annoying for the shoppers. Guess more time to pricematch other stores.

I look at it like this, I can shop after the kids go to sleep and come home and crash before they wake up. Yes, tiring but I'll veg on Friday then get up mid-day and be free!

I believe it expired last night, I used it about 11pm and it worked.

Love Love LOVE my shirt. Thanks Brad!!!! Wore it yesterday and I like it better than the all black one I had, it has the cart on front and I can see me getting to wear this one more. Wore it while getting a super great deal yesterday.

YAY! My DD is 4 and loves the zoobles
