My sister and our friends check the BF site multiple times a day starting at the beginning of November, making and remaking our shopping lists for BF. On Thanksgiving, we grab a copy of each of the local papers (some of the ads are only in one paper!) and remake our shopping list and our game plan for the next day. We set up our meeting point for our friends (who's going to be driving, who's picking who up, etc.) Sometimes we meet at the first store, and then carpool to the rest of the stores. We typically start at Kohl's then the 1st Walmart (they share a parking lot), then the 1st Target (down the street). We usually get a snack at Bruegger's Bagels or Caribou Coffee, then either head off to one of the local malls to hit Bath & Body Works, Lane Bryant, Sears, BB & Circuit City. We then usually go to the other Walmarts or Targets in the local area, and usually Big Lots and Kmart. We finish off with lunch and go home for a nap before putting up our Christmas decorations. I am usually designated to "shop" with my friend's daughter so her mom can get and disguise her gifts. This is getting harder every year since she is going to be 11 this year. Last year we invited one of her friends and her mother to add to the confusion about whose gifts were whose!
