This year snuck up on me. Usually, I'm already thinking about BF over the summer. This year I saw a gotta deal post on FB about a week ago and went "really?" Now, I'm making up for the last few months by getting antsy earlier than normal (usually it's just a gradual build of anticipation). I about hit the floor when I saw a post on another site about there being only 10 more Fridays before Christmas. Where, oh where did the time go this year?

I was thinking about this a couple weeks ago. I've been trying to decide if I want to chance it (my card was replaced 4 times this year due to the bank suspecting breaches), use cash, or pre-buy gift cards for the items I want to purchase. The only issue with the gift cards is what if the store doesn't have it and I need to get elsewhere? I'm not a fan of visa/AE gift cards because they charge fees.

I'll admit there was a time in my life when I would've considered it but never did. I have been guilty of being in line very early and shopping through the night before when stores open on thanksgiving or at midnight. However, at this point in my life my time is just too valuable to spend camping out for days on end. Nothing is that good of a deal to me. I will however continue to get there early and shop at all hours

This is an awesome contest. Looking forward to this years BF season . Husband laughed at me the other day because I listed BF as a holiday.

Looking to get Disney's Infinity. Seen any good deals so far? Think it will be like sky landers was last year on BF?

1. Oh, there's one left! Now, how do I get up there??? 2. Now children, there's more than enough barbies to go around. 3. Will sing for a turkey dinner!

Congrats to the winners. Can't wait to see the first ad!!!!

I'm beginning to wonder if the stores will get to where they don't close at all. Doesn't affect us much though. Hubby always has to work Thanksgiving so we don't really do anything special on the exact day anyway. Last year was a bummer because I got really sick. Tried to do it anyway but only went to Walmart. Luckily, my brother was with me so he was able to hold my place in line all the times I had to go throw up. Finally gave up after getting the main item there.

I have preordered both systems. Not sure if going through with both. Definitely getting Xbox one but unsure about the PS4.

10/16. Harbor Freight

The excitement (finding the best deals, mapping out my plan of attack, staying up late/getting up early,etc.) what's not to like????

Temecula, CA

October 10 Harbor Freight

Still trying to find out if Williams Sonoma does anything for BF...

Does anyone know if Williams Sonoma does anything for BF?

WooHoo!!! Thanks Brad!! Congrats to all the other winners as well!

I would dress up either as a football player with full pads to get everyone out of the way or a store employee to be able to get in at the beginning of the line :)

I agree! The tool ads aren't doing it for me! Bring on the good ads!!!! Must begin preparing my strategy but NEED the ads to do so! I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!!!!!

I think 10 is a good age. My stepdaughter is now 15. She's been going BF shopping with me since she was 11 and loves it! Have to say it's been helpful to have the extra body and set of hands at times too! However, it gets kind of sticky when I'm trying to pick items up for her. I usually send her on a wild goose chase while I get the item hidden in my cart and again when I'm close to the register. Definitely would not have taken her when she was too much younger. It would've been too much of a hassle or distraction.

I'm wondering how popular everyone thinks the Kinect will be. Should I try to get it when it comes out or might there be a better bundle deal for BF??

The whole Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris!!! Can't wait for the next one in MAY!!!

I think one of my most memorable black fridays was the first one that I got my husband (boyfriend then) to join me. We flew 2800 miles to visit my family (his 1st time meeting them) for Thanksgiving and I drug him, my mom and brother out the next morning. He originally thought I was nuts. However, after the day was over, he was hooked! Now 8 years later he gets just as excited as I do!!
