Tend to agree with everyone else out there - I think it's because the economy is so bad and all you hear about is how horrible of a shopping season retailers are predicting and they're offering some pretty good deals now to get us to buy from them before BF. I used to look forward to shopping in all its insanity...by myself...with no children...just my list, my money and my coffee. But with all the deals out there now - I'm already done with 2 of my kids, have 2 more to go and they usually get gifts from ebay or online elsewhere. Unless something wonderful comes through - I'll be staying home this BF and decorating for the holidays instead (while my husbands home from work to help).

Just curious if anyone knows if the major retailers (Walmart, TRU, Target, etc.) still price match the other competitors with the weekly sales ads? Last christmas I heard they weren't but wasn't sure if this was a year-round thing or just after "Black Friday" that they no longer did. Any input or recent experiences would be appreciated.

New to the site and to this forum - hope this question is in the right area. Has anyone heard what the "HOT" toys of this holiday season will be?
