My biggest pet peeve is when to people with carts heading in opposite directions stop to chat and block up the whole isle! If you stop to shop that's ok, but take your chatting out of the store isle people!

I am buying my Christmas present this year if it is on sale. I want the new Cricut. If left up to DH he would pay full price and probably shipping too... I will find the best deal, purchase it, let him wrap it and put it under the tree! Hee hee!

Question about the Kohls ad. It says online NOW until 3pm Friday. When is NOW? When can we start online ordering from Kohls?

I did pretty well today! I got the $10 Harry Potter game for Wii, 4 skylanders, and a 3DS game. I'm happy!!

So what are the "virtual bulldog" and "virtual poodle" they are putting on lightening deals for video games in about 15 minutes? Think they are webkinz?

My in-laws are anti black THURSDAY! They were quite miffed that I headed out Thursday evening to start my shopping. I don't know what the big whoop was. It was well after dinner was over. And we were there all weekend so it's not like I was taking away from family time. I was going out SOME time anyway. I think it may be a thing about supporting sales on a holiday when people should be home with their family. I've always respected that and never did the Kmart Thanksgiving day sale, but by 10 pm Thanksgiving is pretty much done in my opinion. I hope it doesn't get much earlier though!

I am totally lusting after an iPad mini! I've wanted my own iPad for a long time, and this is more affordable, and I like the size better! I've had the use of an iPad 1, but it belongs to DH's school, so I generally only get it on the weekends. The regular iPad is really too big to fit into my purse, but the iPad mini would be awesome! We have iPhones, and purchase games and apps for those, plus some iPad games. So I think staying within the apple family will be the most cost effective for us. DD wants a touch so she doesn't have to keep stealing my phone to play on, but if we get a mini, we might just share it! DH wants the iPhone 5. If he gets that, I will inherit his iPhone 4, and DD will get my iPhone 3GS to use as a touch! LOL! It's all good!

I agree! There is no way I can stay up tonight and function tomorrow... so will this still be available first thing in the morning? No one is going to yank it overnight are they? I am fine waiting until morning as long as I know it will still be waiting for me!

Was this the 119th store? Did they have many? My in laws live in Overland Park but we won't be there until Thanksgiving. No Costco here in central IL.

My kids are outgrowing EVERYTHING! I think I'm going to hit the clothing deals heavily this year, and not save it for Christmas... just get clothing that fits for all my kids LOL! Last year I bought DS (7) a few $4 deal sweatshirts at Walmart. One fell apart at the neckline, but he still wears it. I think I need to buy more of that type of thing... just to get through winter. Jeans especially if they have good deals. DD (10) is harder because she's moving into Jr. sizes. I should find lots for DD (4). How about you? Is Black Friday all about Christmas, or do you just wait for the deals for everyday stuff as well? Edie

If your kids aren't too picky about NEW games... www.goozex.com is a great place to get games. It's a trading place, but they let you buy trade credits and trade points, so you don't have to trade if you don't want to. You can't always get evern game you want, but they have tons, and if you are looking for older games they are cheap and easy to get. Edie

My favorite book is the omnibus edition of Anne McCaffrey's Dragon Rider's of Pern! Love this site! Thanks! Edie

I bought som of the boys $4 sweatshirts at Walmart last year that came apart after a few washings. Glad we only paid $4! The other clothing I got has lasted great! I'm hoping for great clothing sales, not really for Christmas, just cause my kids will be outgrowing everything again. Edie

If you don't have a mastercard, you might want to look into getting a Capital One Debit card Mastercard. It has the Mastercard logo, but it works like a debit and takes the money right out of your bank account, plus you get rewards! Worth looking at! Edie

I ordered one from TRU online the other day.

I'm sure I saw an ad somewhere on this board yesterday while I was browsing. It seems it was for a friday/saturday doorbuster sale. They had the Ben 10 and a few other Nintendo DS games for less than $12. Any idea where that was? Edie
