I will never shop Walmart on BF again. This was my first year going there. I normally go to TRU and Fred Meyers. My best friend and I went to Walmart and got in line at 3am. We were about 50th in line. Stood there in the cold and wind...it was fun.. When it was getting closer to 5, their was this mob starting to form at the front of the line..to the side..you all know what im talking about..this girl in front of me started yelling at them that the line was WAYYYYYYYYYY back there. The manage earlier TOLD us that there was going to be security and workers out front..there was every year. Well except this year...as soon as the doors opened, BAM all those people rushed in and people started yelling and screaming..some lady shoved me so hard. That was the very first time Ive ever been pushed. When I left, I complained to the manager and he said they had pulled the tapes and their security was looking at them as we speak, he also told me to come in later in the week and he would give me a gift card . And they didnt have any good deals either!

Ill have to steal my daughters bedazzler and make one then LOL Ill be shopping in Portland, OR...TRU, Target and Clackamas Town Center~!!

I usually hit up Freddy's on BF...you can expect a huge line with people wanting to buy socks and body pillows LOL..those are the main things in this area that they have every year. They do serve donut holes (3 flavors) and hot chocolate/coffee/apple cider. I never go there first though, I usually hit it up around 11 am. Oh yeah, they usually have BOGO free on games!!

Normally we would always do it Black friday...buuuutttt last year I did it on my bday Nov 16, so THATS going to be OUR new tradition LOL

Last year I spent about 1200 on my 2 kids at Toys R Us. Hopefully it wont be so much this year lol. Its like Super Market Sweep when I get in there!! Run around the store like a wild woman lol

My Target was horrible again this year, so im never going back! The checkouts were ridiculous!!!! Ive never seen such a mess! They had one line that wrapped around the store, but everyone was just walking right up getting in the "short" lines. So I stood in the same spot for about 30 mins, then ended up leaving my full cart there and leaving and going to Walmart, where everything was much more organized!

At my TRU they had tons!! I was the 10th person in and stayed for about a hour and when I went to leave they still had tons. I even made a comment to my friend that no one was buying them and we started doing "cart checks" and I did not see ONE person with one, we thought it was weird.

I tried this last year and there was some sort of problem. When I tried to verify it, it just wasent working...It kept saying I was calling from a different number, which I wasent. So needless to say, I didnt get a wake up call

Its just Starbucks for me! I eat leftovers when I get home. Last year at Target, The kind people at Starbucks from next door, brought us all coffee and samples of their yummy food, that was nice!

Ive never had any problem with TRU. At our store, they always opened the store early..like last year it was 4:50, when the ad said 5:30. We didnt mind. The line was all the way up to the street, and there was really no where else for the people to stand ( I was at the front of course hehe) Inside is pretty crazy, but they have a AWESOME system for check out. All the lines were open and you stood in one great big long line, but they had employees placing you in the lines. It was great. No one was cutting in line, everyone was cheerful and it went very smoothly! I never knew they did it online. Im totally going to check that out!

Portland Oregon!!!

Wow! Everything is turning into a Macy's!! Our Meier and Franks just turned into a Macy's. I havent been into it, but it will be exciting to see if they do anything for BF. I hope so!

I live in a large apartment complex, and we have our own garbage facility here and the guys dont accept nothing, no cards, money or cookies. And I never ever see the mailman, but Ive dropped off a christmas card in the outbox for him though.

I also love watching the 25 days of christmas!! I cant wait till Dec 1!.. I also love watching A Christmas Story. My mom cant stand that movie, but yet shes never watched it, tell me how that makes sense lol. But the kids and I will watch it all night. Randee

We also do fresh baked cookies that the kids make, Milk, carrots and reindeer food outside. The kids have a blast sprinkling the reindeer food outside.
