Target, about 5 years ago. My two sisters and I had the job of 'running' to the back of the store for polly pockets. My mother's job was to get a cart and meet us back there so we could have a place to put our bargains. We concord the isle (fast runners) and started looking around a little. My mother shows up all out of breath and red faced. Asked what was wrong, all you had to do was get a cart and meet us here. Well, she got in a fight with some lady who kept trying to run her over with her cart and my poor old mother finally turned to her and said she was going to deck her if she did it again. Oh the best part, when we were checking out, my mother spots this person that was trying to run her over, and yells, there she is!!!!! Now when my mom has cart duty, we ask her not to get into a fight over it.

Not too early. 47 days. They put them up there so that the kids will start seeing them and putting them on their list. Marketing people have to be sneaky. Or we would think we didn't need to buy anything.

They removed the best one!!

May that not be the hot item this year

When will this madness end?????

It's tradition. But they usually only have a handful of deals.

All, but I did great at Target last year.

Walmart always has bikes on sale for kids under $30

No problems. Purchasing them on BF I would avoid, who wants to waste all that precious time when there are deals to be had.!

Our kmart and walmart did away with lay a way. I know of people doing in years past though.

If you shop on-line. How are you going to display your gottadeal t-shirt!!

Hey, if it's too late to bring it back. Buy a new one and return the old one. (This place is a secret from the stores, right?)

May have to rethink my original thought with this wonderful economy!!!!

Husband thinks I'm nuts Deals aren't worth the time and pain How much did you save!

You have a sickness, but welcome to the club.

I wouldn't do it. Though, if you have a friendly group, people could take turns making a food run and everyone pay for their own.

They had their trees out last weekend. Looks like they were clearancing their garden stuff to make room.

This happens here a lot at the walmarts that are not open 24hr. Also, I have seen it at Kohls and target.

I have told everyone I shop for, BF is the last day I will be shopping before christmas.

no tax free here in NY, but they do it one weekend near back to school and one weekend in the spring. Vt is close, just go over the border where there is never tax on clothes

finding great wii accessorie prices.

What a way to do your marketing Walmart. Sell cheap toys for 10.00 and then we have to replace them in a month. That's one way to get sales up.

Hey, what else am I going to buy the people I don't like !

"Commercially Valuable" Are they kidding me! The only value of late is that we can be assured we are getting a deal some place else. Spent no money there on BF last year, and this year looks like a repeat. I sure hope their ad doesn't get placed on myspace or even better, CNN can do a story on it like it did a few years ago. Down w/ Walmart, Up with better priced stores.

Wouldn't take mine. Too many safety concerns, and I want to be able to shop for them.
