Was 5th in line at Target at 10pm. We got 3 of the 32" tv's. They had them in carts at the end of the entrance aisle. Of course, police were yelling no running and everyone started running through the clothes to get around us that were leading the pack. My dh, dd and I all snagged a tv. In and out in 5 minutes. My mom went to walmart at 3:30 trying to get a tv there and was told all the tickets were gone at 11 p.m. She said people were on the floor in sleeping bags camping out and it was pure madness in there. She said the lines snaked everywhere and she couldn't get anything she came for. That's when I called dh to get up to T and get in line with me and snag one for her, as limit was 1 pp. DD went back in to get some movies and heard people in line complaining to mgr that families were snagging 2-3 tvs each and that wasn't fair. Maybe one day she will realize why 3 different families were camped out at 10 p.m. We only bought 1 each. We broke no rules, imo. One for us, one for my mom and one from BIL, who couldn't go out because SIL was working at the mall at 4am and he had to stay home with kids. Headed to Denny's then the mall with our tribe (2 other dd's and a friend) and didn't get much, just a shirt dd3 wanted at justice. Was pretty crowded and I was too tired to bother to wait in lines, which were all pretty long. Home by 9:30, slept until 2:30. Maybe gonna do some online shopping...

I am from Chicago-land (SOUTH SIDE!!) I lurked last year but have been shopping BF for years! Love it and this site!!!....can't wait till the ads start rolling in!

That tent would be aswome for a nap, provided you had a guard to protect you from some of the savages that always end up in line! That and a portable fire pit....nice and toasty!!!! I'll probably forget my chair and end up standing for 4-6 hours like I always do...

I usually will hart WalMart first, and I get in and out in 10 minutes (after waiting in line for 4-6 hours) and then I chill and hit all the other secondary stores. Usually Radio Shack and Office Max and Ulta. Then I go home and go back to bed.
