  1. We went out at 9pm Thanksgiving night last year and it was just not the same :(  We didn't have nearly as much fun as the previous 10 plus years we have been shopping BFG.

    So we just decided last night to  *take back black friday!* We plan to have our Thanksgiving as usual and then grab a few hours of sleep. We plan to set our alarms for 3am and be at our first store by 4am. Will we miss a few possible doorbusters?  Maybe, but northing we can't live without.  It helps that I can do my Kohls shopping on-line Wednesday!

    So now that we have that settled, I am once again excited for Black Friday :)

  2. I am Central Time so that would be 7 & 9 pm. Call me old fashioned but I will not be anywhere before midnight. Thanksgiving is not getting the respect it deserves. I can tolerate Christmas decorations in September but not fighting for $2 DVD's on a day of thankfulness.

    Agreed!

  3. Holiday preview in stores now. 2 coupons in it $10 off 30, 20% off and something else that I can't remember. Possibly a free product with $15 purchase?

    I just got that in the mail yesterday, I was so excited, lol! My first BF coupon :cheesy:

  4. My DD went with me last year for BF she was 18, her first time out. I think she had a good time and she has said something about it this year

     

    . Now I've taken them later in the day when they were younger like on my 2nd trip around 2 in the afternoon but not the all night thing.

    I've done the round 2 with kids, later in the day! That works well for now.

  5. DH has never gone. When the kids were younger he kept them home. But most are grown and love to go and my DD9 went last and loved it. She was really fun to have along. (with our large family spread out through different stores I am able to shop for her too). My co workers have no desire to go and they tease me about memorizing the ads but they give me money so I can pick up stuff for them (if possible) My MIL always ask if there is anything on the kids list that I can pick up for her too.

    My daughter is 9 and has been begging me to go, she can't wait. I'm holding out for another year or 2, I'm excited to take her along, but I don't know if she has the stamina quite yet :)
  6. The exact same thing happened to us! Drinking coffee at McDonalds at 4:30 a.m. after 3 stores and on our way to 4 more and completely wiped out due to no sleep at all. Went home to bed about 7:30 and felt much worse than past years when we'd sleep from 11 p.m.-2 a.m. and stay out until 10 or 11 a.m.

     

    Plus, crowds seemed bigger and crabbier than years past. People just didn't go to bed after Thanksgiving.

     

    What we also observed was that we were able to get almost everything we wanted even hours after the stores had opened (plus the crowds had really cleared out). So despite temptation, we'll start about 3 a.m. too regardless of the opening time.

    I agree completely!

  7. Blankets. I fall for them every year at Kohl's.

    Even when my blanket chest is overflowing, I still have to get one, "in case"...

    I am the same way!!! I always buy at least 1 of the Big One plush throws. Last year I bought 3!! They are the best blankets ever!!! Huge, super soft and for 7.00 or 8.00, can you really have too many?? The kids love them! I found cute sock monkey and cupcake designs last year for the kids.
