1. Ms. Claus is in the house 2. Dang, I should have gotten a buggy 3. What's wrong, cant hang with the older folk or Whats wrong does the little feet hurt or This is how you really shop

I remember one year they started having a special sale only on Fridays leading up to Black Friday. Walmart, Target and a few other stores did this. Had some pretty good deals but most of the Walmarts was clueless about them in my area.

I usually get candy, some fruit, giftcards, nail polish, chap stick and something crazy and off the wall ( one year one of those sharks in a jar - just for laughs )

and the buy one get 2 free wrapping paper

Very good... have to share this with others

OKAY!!!!! I BOUGHT ONE THIS WEEKEND. Could not pass up the offer. Walmart had them on sale for $179. It is at my moms house so hope the wife likes it.

Brad, Send me a few and I will let you know what else I might need

Yes, Kmart and I was there for about 8 hours. I wanted this TV that was on sell and I knew they would only have about 3 so I had to get it, but to my surprise they open the door and came out to pass out the slips for the items and the TV that was in the paper did not come in. I flipped out ... They gave a rain check for when it arrived that I could get it at the BF price ( which was a few weeks later ) but I sat in line to get it that day..

Okay, I am waiting in expectancy

I am still excited but I understand where you are coming from. Every year I get pumped up for the ads and then they disappoint, but then I have to remember that I am doing this not just for the thrill but for the smiling faces on CHRISTmas morning. Yes the early openings killed it for me as well but my philosophy was if I miss it I miss it, but I would not miss the family time, I can always get another gift but can never get back the family time that I would lose. With my kids getting older it is harder to get them something that would surprise them and not brake the bank. When I could get the baby alive dolls or some silly toy it was great and still makes my cry when I think of there utter joy when opening it. That is what keeps me excited those memories, the sacrifices of sitting in the cold wrapped in a blanket knowing if I moved to much I would have to go to the bathroom..... but the thing that brings me the most joy is knowing the true reason for the Season and how that forever changed my life and the world. So enjoy the season and make the best of what you have and who you have.

Love the suggestions. I remember one year I was "THAT GUY" that held up the line trying everything to get the card to swipe - plastic bag, between receipt paper I was so embarrassed...Then I hear some guy yelling and talking noise in the back about the line moving slow and come to find out it was by cousin so he came up and paid for my stuff until we got to the ATM...... I had a buggy full of door busters too and if I left it they would have been gone in 2 minutes ---- Now I carry cash not only to not overspend but to make sure I have no problems checking out.

KB Toys is the one I miss the most but Brownlee Jewelers was my go to spot for gift for my girlfriend ( now wife ) decent and cheap for young love - Now its Jareds

The mall in my area will not be open on Thursday this year. It was on the news and the mall chain said they was going to do this at all of there malls.

I want to get my wife one but it takes up a lot of counter space. They need to come out with a compact version and in my team colors would be a plus - LOL

Picked up a few things last week. Trying to figure out good new hiding places

Alright, Alright, Alright.... Lets get this party started

That is a good question. I'm am not sure but they do have a discount around the holidays. How much I can't really remember but I know I got free shipping.

Im voting for a 4K TV, I think it will do me more good then either of the ones we have to choose from

I agree... I hope stores will follow suit and allow there employees time off to spend with there family. Opening early morning on black friday is the way to go. I refuse to put a deal before my family. The main reason I go out is for them so to skip out on family time would be counter productive to the very thing I claim to be " FAMILY MAN ". I prefer to cut back and pay regular price than for one of my DD to tell me 10 years later I wish you was there when....instead of at a store. Just my thoughts

Im in for a bigger TV this year. This will be my gift to me purchase

Gloves, Ear Warmers, Electric socks, Hand Warmers, coffee candy ( not a coffee person but my mom is ) Scarves, phone case covers , etc

How about a car/truck overflowing with stuff and a caption of the 2 people talking saying " Gotta Luv Gottadeal " or " Made Possible by Gottadeal " or " This is Gottadeal and I approve of this Message ( play on politics ) I could go on and on but you get my drift

I like this
