19 Relatives, 2 teachers, 3 babysitters, DH, DS1, SD2. Good thing I have a budget and force myself to stick to it.

I am counting the days down already! I told my kids they have to wait to start their list until the 60 days or less left.

Lots of money, cell phone, list and the desire for DEALS!

I would love at least a medium, but could deal with anything FREE!!

I LOVE this idea of the binder one. That would make our van so much neater! Hey, I'll add a sheet of my son's baseball card holder and sort the coupons you need for some of the stores in it as well!

I live in the cold as well, but would wear underarmour or a turtleneck underneath!!! I would love to display my love for BF!

This sounds like a good idea with the price of gas!! Go for the gold and get it all done at once. I can sleep on Saturday.

Hit: Everything I need at Staples, Target tv/dvd player Miss: WII

I think this may be my 20th anniversary!!! (I started young) man that makes me sound OLD!!!

My DH actually wants me to buy our kids a WII. I hope is is willing to help with this cold fight.

When they put things like "Gaming Chairs" in the woman's underwear section and think that people are going to find the few they have there in their rush in the store (Target last year). They also hid their TV/DVD combos in the Christmas decoration dept. Atleast let us know which way we are to go as we are trampling over you!

I think the fact that Wal-Mart already sent out the notice shows that they are getting their ad ready for publishing! Hey, wouldn't it be great if the other stores found out what their sales were now and put the items on sale before BF! The poor wal-mart greeter will be board on BF.

Four of us in one vehicle (2 were BF Virgins) and two others had their own vehicles in hopes of trying to hit everywhere we needed to. This year, we will do the drop and go and settle up with everyone else later. That way we all don't have to wait in the same lines.

Yes I am going, regrettably. Last year it was the usual hassle at Kmart. New manager, never advertised that you could get the tickets at 10pm the night before for big items, and then you could just walk in when the stores opened at 7am. But, it is tradition to go.

Thank You for sharing your list. KB's opens at 5am Lowe's seems to be keeping theirs a secret.

Brad, How about a listing (if there is not someone already) of when the various stores open. That way we can keep it straight on our path of shopping!

Our wal-mart was not open on thanksgiving day last year. If they are going to be open, will they match kmart prices for that day? they need to do something to earn my business back.

Three yrs ago the police came and arrested people outside of BB on BF for scalping the tickets to the people in the back of the line. Way to Go! It's one thing to sell the item for more on ebay if someone wants to bid on it. They got what they deserved for going through the line to the highest bidder with the poor souls that were next in line to find out that the people didn't really want it.

Walmart will price match items that are not "door busters" or "early bird" pricing. If it is sale items that are good for more than just a few hours, then they will.

I think that the stores my open at Midnight this year. Bass and VanHeusen outlets already have sent out their BF ad, and they open at Midnight.
