#1 - Guy in dark blue with hand up - "One right here" Woman in white shirt - "Are you sure we really need one?" #2 - Woman in green - "Back! Back I say! No cuts for you!!! #3 - Boy on cart - "Whoever said this Black Friday shopping is fun never met MY mom...we're just kinda bored!"

Is there a problem with opening the PDF file right now? I can see the scans and can open all the other stores PDF's, just not this one. I usually save them to my computer so I can show my mom who doesn't have internet service. Thanks, Renee

I would have to say my worst Black Friday experience was at Wal-Mart last year. It's not that it was a really horrible experience, just a COLD one!!! I was after a couple of the Blu-Ray players that were on sale, and since the TRU experience was a bust for the one item there my mom wanted we decided to go across the street to Wal-Mart since it was open and wandering around inside a warm store seemed better than sitting in a cold car. We wandered around for a while, checking out where everything was located that we were also interested in. When we saw that a line was already forming for the players we decided to go ahead and get in it. A couple of employees came out after a while and took our names and gave out numbers with how many players you wanted on it. Ok, in my opinion this system seemed to work really well, at least at this store. The problem was, the line was at the back of the store through the frozen food cases and the open cold dairy cases...of course, being close to the front of the line we were by the open cases. Even with a light jacket on, we were so cold by the time they handed out the players (after about 4 hrs in line) I didn't think my toes and fingers would ever warm back up!! The really bad thing was, even though you got your name on a list with your place in line and a number, you couldn't leave the line to do anything else (like warm up!!!). The only way you could leave the line and come back was if you had to go to the bathroom, then you got a "Hall Pass" and had like 10 minutes to be back in line or forfeit your place, so we were kinda afraid to try to go outside to the car to get our heavy jackets and be able to make it back inside in that length of time. I'm thinking they should put something in the cold parts of the store that lines don't really form for...not something people stand there for several hours for...just my opinion!! I expect the cold when I'm waiting outside for a store to open, but not inside it. I guess if that's my worst Black Friday experience in all the years I've been going out on that day I'm doing pretty good!!!!

If you go to Sam's Club you might try checking there. They get a lot of tv shows on dvd, especially around Christmas. Sometimes they have some of the older series like that for $15 - $20 or so.

No matter how disappointing :(or terrific:) the ads turn out to be I'll be out there picking up at least the odds & ends (movies, cd's, etc.) on my shopping list!!! As for the ads, so far I'm a little disappointed..........I want an HDTV for my son's room, something in the 26" range and a name brand, but haven't spotted a price yet that compares to the price from Wal-Mart's Electronics Event last weekend, which of course I missed out on due to other obligations!!!

I can't open it either, it just says it's damaged. I've tried it on three computers in the house and keep getting the same message.... Anyone know why I'm getting this message? It's the only scan that this has happened on. Thanks.

Wow...some of your costume ideas are pretty creative!! I'd have to be the shopper lady in the old Mervyn's commercials that stood outside the doors tapping her fingers on the glass going "open, open"......LOVED that Black Friday commercial!!! Of course, nobody but me would know what I was supposed to be......................:)

A week or so ago they had the Little Tykes toys "buy one $19.99 or more and get one $19.99 or less free"....usually they do that with the Fisher-Price toys too, does anyone know if they have done it yet, or when they will be on sale? Thanks!!!
