I believe it was the regular one but I can't be sure. Sorry.

Thanks!

Thank you so much! I think what I'll do then is see if there's a line to get in around 5:30 and make my decision based on that. Our closest Big Lots isn't a high traffic store, but I don't know what it looks like on BF so I'll play this one by ear.

I See the ad scans on the black Friday page, but I don't see a Big Lots Ad Posted post in the forum with the PDFs. I'm in the mobile version if gottadeal, but I usually don't have any problems. What's up?

I'm thinking about stopping by Big Lots before JCP on Friday morning to check out the B2G2 video games, but I've never done Big Lots on BF before do I'm not sure what to expect. Do you guys think the games will be worth a look? At this point I will be exhausted, I'm sure.

Oh, and congratulations to all the gottadeal mama's!

Such a great tip there! I also like to have some snacks in my purse just in case. You just never know. Also, 11 pounds!!? You win. Lol. Mine were tiny, each boy was under 7 lbs. I shopped while pregnant but they were both spring babies so I wasn't very far along. Just grumpy and tired.

Oh geez, I really hope they don't do that again this year and it was just an experiment. I need one thing from Target and don't feel like spending 2 hours getting to the cash register.

Hahaha!!! I need a security system for my shop!

Last year was the first time that my local Target did the TRU thing and made everyone wait in one gigantic roped-off line to get to the employee who directed you to a check out lane. They used to just have a few employees around the check out lanes to help move it along. I'm wondering if everyone's Target did this and if so does anyone know if they're doing it that way this year? It took so long last year we ended up putting our stuff down and leaving. If they're doing it again I might skip them and just move on.

My brother and I were just discussing the $10 ant farm in the Walmart ad, does that count? Honestly, an ant farm? Or the $100 old timey popcorn machine on wheels that Kohls always trots out for BF. who buys that thing??

I'm dying! I thought the same thing! I've already told my husband this shop is closed. Haha

The stand-outs to me are the Kmart TVs, the Skylanders Giants pack for $39 at Walmart, that Nabi that everyone is flipping out over at Walmart, and thats all that's coming to me off the top of my head. For me personally, I find the deals on Craftsman tools at Kmart very attractive.

Oops sorry! I just assumed they were the same. We have the wii version.

Oh by all means, borrow away! I've got TRU and Kohls at the end because their lines to get to the check outs take forever. This way I can go in at the end and check some stuff out and then decide if it's worth waiting in line.

I completely agree! I've been able to pick up 4 video games at black Friday or almost black Friday prices in the past couple weeks. While I'm actually very pleased with the sales we're seeing this year compared to the last two years of lackluster sales, I'll admit that I also use my ads as a reference point to grab as many things ahead if time as I can.

It's really coming up quickly! I believe I heard that this is the earliest in November that Black Friday can be, on the 23rd.

This is a deal for Shop Your Way Rewards members. I was up at Kmart today buying video games (buy $45 worth of games right now and you get a $15 game coupon that's good even on BF!) and saw a 3DS deal I wanted to share. They have the 3DS for $154.99 and you'll get a printed receipt coupon for $30 for any video game $30 and up from 11/18-12/8. Pretty sweet deal, I thought!

I got my steam mop 2 years ago on BF and picked one up for my mom last year and we live them! I live your divide and conquer plan.

Does he have the first game? If not then you're good, because that's what you bought. It comes with the game, the portal of power, and a few figures.you'll just need some AA batteries for the portal. If he does already have the first game then you will need the one that says Skylanders Giants, which is the second game.

Kmart has a Craftsman 19.2 volt drill for $40 as part of their 3-day sale starting on Thanksgiving. Thats the one I'm looking at, anyway.

I'm hoping to get some of the Craftsman stuff from Kmart, the 1/2 off pillow pets, some other stuff from Kmart, cheap DVDs and video games from Walmart as well as that big Avengers action figure set for my ds8, the $40 6-lane hot wheels track at Target is a great deal, and I want that $8 minecraft shirt from JCP for my baby bro. I'm also planning on stopping in Kohls to check out jewelry and scarves for my girlfriends and get some Kohls cash.

I love all the preparation! It's getting close now.

Ok here we go, I have my plan: Thursday morning: Kmart, some online shopping Thursday night (probably starting around 9:30): Walmart, Target, TRU, Kohls Come home and sleep for a few hours Friday morning: JCP, some online shopping and strong coffee I'm dying to know where your black Friday travels are taking you this year! Do you store-hop like I do or do you stick to one store? Are you shopping online?

I'm so glad you posted that! I totally missed it on my first look. My 14- year-old baby brother is obsessed with that game and wants a shirt, and you can't beat $8! Thanks!
