I had a $5 certificate so only $18 something after tax. Free Shipping for all 4 Blu Rays! Wednesday Afternoon- Meijer, I priced matched the Toys R Us ad, on the Digital Simon and Scrabble Game. After Mperks those two games were FREE!! Hopefully I can submit those reciepts for the Hasbro Rebate for a MM!! Thanksgiving Morning- Meijer- Grocery Items on sale- .99 BC Cookie Mix- I had various coupons making them free or at the most .19 ( I got 16) Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles- On sale for .99 cents - $1/2 Q= .49 cent each ( I got 16 Boxes) Ragu Pasta Sauce- $.99 cent- $1/2 Mperks= .49 cents ( I got 8) I also got $.69 cent wrapping paper ( I got 4) DH cooked Thanksgiving Dinner Wednesday evening and me and my family ate dinner around 1pm on Thursday. DH took a nap and went and got in line at Sears at 3:30 pm. By the time he got there, there was already line .....20 people. Anxiety set in for me, because I knew there was only a 5 of the Toshiba 50 inch TV that I wanted. Sure enough at 7pm when they passed out the tickets all of the Toshiba's were gone in like 2 seconds. Luckily DH didn't give up and asked about the 4am Doorbuster, which was the 50 inch Panasonic Plasma.. also for $299. BINGO! The guy handed DH and the two ladies behind the last tickets. NO MORE TVs!!! If you were not in line by 3:30pm, there were none left. People were showing up at 7:30pm for a 8pm sale expecting to get a ticket or even worse, rushed the store to find that all the TVs were already spoken for. Since we couldn't buy our TV until 4am, We had 8 hours to kill!! We went home to take DH's car home and drove my van. We had no other plans, we just went to all these stores just to see what we could find. Walmart- We got the $9.44 Wafflemaker(found abandoned in random place..yay) 2 Wireless Mice @ $8 each. 1 HDMI cord for $8, and that all. We only spent $35.00 Target- Hat and Glove Sets for the girls- $3 each. BOGO Gloves for me-$3 Jenga Game- $7 -Fire Pit $30 ( DH has wanted one for a long time) Horton Hears a Who DVD- $4- Spent $53.00 in Target It is now 11pm and we are hungry, so we went to Steak and Shake for Burgers and Frys and some Caffeine! - Spent $18 after tip Its Midnight now..and it starts raining. We head to Best Buy to peruse, and find that the line to get into BestBuy is at least a mile long...NO LIE!! So we parked, and fell asleep for about 10 minutes. The line up was moving at a snail pace, so we left and headed to Kmart. Kmart...ugh.. I hate Kmart. It is so disorganized and old. We did find the Password Journal for DD8 for $14 that was on her list, bought a King Size Comforter Set for $28 and a bath towel robe thing that DH wanted for $7. Spent $50 and got a $5 GiftCard back, and a coupon for $1.00 per gallon of gas at Speedway... wasn't expecting those two at all. Woohoo!! By this time its freaking 1am and WE WERE TIRED!! We finally gave up and went home to take a nap. We got back up at 3:30 to go back to Sears to pick up our TV. It was deader than Bin Laden in there. They still made us wait to 4am to check out, so we walked around empty Washington Square Mall until 4am. Got our TV, and went back home and CRASHED. By 7am my nephews and my kids were up. ( My sister stayed the night so we could shop). There was no point in staying in bed, so I got up and cleaned up the kitchen and made breakfast ( I only half cleaned it the day before). Surprisingly, I wasn't too too tired. I got the kids settled with DH, my sister left and I had one last trip to make at Meijer. Their sale didn't start until 6am. Its 10am now, and the store is QUIET!!! I was so surprised. At Meijer I got a Triple Crock Pot Cooker. Price was $49.99- $15 General Merchandise Mperk= $37.00 OOP, recieved a $5 MIR Form, and a $20 OYNO. Net price $12!!! DH will use it for his catering functions. Went back home and laid on the couch for most of the rest of the day. Found out DD8 is a great babysitter... LOL! I had a great BF!!

Ok, now I hear that the Toshiba will not be online. They are giving out tickets two hours prior to the sale. Once I have my ticket, do I need to still stand in line to recieve the item? Can I leave and come back? Does the ticket gurantee I will recieve the item?

Oh, do tell!

So the 8pm $299 Toshiba, will this be a Thanksgiving special live on Wednesday night, or is this considered a Black Friday item that will go live at 2am on Friday?

Does anyone know if the Sears Ad items are available online? Specifically the $299 Toshiba 50'inch?

The 40' inch TV is not part of the gurantee is it? I thought it was the 32inch for $147?

A couple of year ago, they gave us wristbands at the 12am sale to come back anytime before 6am to pick up electronics that went on sale at 5am. I hope they do that again. It seems really inefficient to wait in line for 4 hours during the rest of the sale.

MESSAGE FOR shadow1p06 or anyone else for that matter..... I am interested in the 5am 50in Emerson Flat Screen. Do you anticipate Walmart running out of this item, or if there will be a mad dash for these?

My husband wants that Ninja Master Prep Blender for $29.00. Maybe the Princess Kitchen

Ugh..... Its the the same stuff every year in these ads. People risk life and limb for $1.00 towels and $5 DVDs. I don't know why I subject myself to this madness every year. Starting at 8pm is just going to make it worse. I really hope the things I need are available online, or Meijer will have a good ad. I heard they are starting at 5am this year.

I am noticing that a lot, if not most of the items are not going to be available online.....

My daughter is three and started pre school. I got her two pairs of pants and two shirts for $35 dollars. I thought that was kinda steep but I couldn't find them anywhere else. I went to SchoolZone @ 52nd Keystone in Indianapolis. I heard Dollar General and Family Dollar have uniforms too.
