I'm ready!!

Yay!! I was able to get the ripstik for $29.99 with free shipping - $10 less than Walmart, so now I don't have to go anywhere but WM.

Amazon has it right now $71.99 with free shipping.

Does anyone have Straight Talk?? My son (10 yrs) wants a smartphone, and I like that everything is unlimited. Just not sure about the service.

The only thing with buying on eBay is most of the times you are only sent the code and not the actual card. If buying for yourself, that may not matter, but could be if buying as a gift.

Finally!

The deals aren't anywhere near what they used to be, but retailers know they'll still pack the stores, so I don't see that changing.

Kohls has the best deal at $249 with $75 KC, but I don't shop at Kohl's much and they're one of the worst stores on BF, so I'm going to get one at Walmart ($30 GC). I'm really disappointed in the price this year. $249 has been the going BF sale price for the past 3-4 years. But I need to replace a broken one, so I really have no choice.

These ads have really been disappointing, and this one wasn't an exception!

That's a huge ad, but nothing for me.

Is it me or are there not a lot of toys included in the ads?? Nothing from my kids' lists are in the ads.

One of the worst ads ever!

Am I missing it or is there no deal on a PS4??

I've been saying that for years! While there may good deals on tvs, usually there are, I don't need any. I would like to replace a broken PS4, and I'm disappointed that going BF price is $249 - that's been the price for the past few years. But Kohls has the KC which makes it a decent deal, but I don't shop at Kohls a lot, so not too excited about it. So far, my enthusiasm with regards to the ads is on par with going to the dentist.

Meh...not much for me. Disappointed that $249 seems to be the going price for PS4 - hasn't that been the BF price for the past few years?? $75 Kohls cash makes it an okay deal, but not much else.

Walmart told me that they will only be selling them online and not in the stores. Can anyone confirm that?? Their online prices are outrageous. Luckily, I don't need one, but my neighbor is looking for one for her daughter, so I always check when I'm out.

That's funny! Thanks everyone for the replies. I've got a lot a good comebacks now!

My kids have kind of out-smarted me. They're asking for some really expensive things this year. When I told him that's too much money, my oldest says, "I'll ask Santa. It's free if it comes from Santa!" When I said that even Santa has a budget, he said, "Santa doesn't use money, mom, he uses Christmas magic!" I'm to the point where I want to say, "Mom is Santa, and mom uses money not magic!" What do you say to your kids without ruining the secret about Santa??

I'm hoping for a better deal than $249. I need to replace my husband's broken one - don't need a bundle deal, just a good deal on the console.

My parents bought a 4K 3D tv (I believe an LG) earlier this year. Honestly, I wouldn't have known the difference if they hadn't told me. I don't mind wearing glasses to watch a 3D movie in a theater, but no way do I want to wear glasses in my living room just to watch tv! The 3D models don't appeal to me. Although the picture on the 4K was beautiful, it wasn't obviously noticeable to me.

I had a very similar experience with Walmart. I got there after 8. I expected it to be busy, but was hoping that the lines had thinned by then, but it was fairly empty. They still had a lot of the doorbusters left over, like the Roku tv, but the movies and DVDs were gone! There was only a few titles available. I went yesterday to pick up a prescription and perused around a bit, and am thinking they must have had returns, because I saw some items that I didn't see before. Gone were all the tvs...I doubt that they sold all of them because they had entire pallet filled with the Roku tvs and they didn't seem to be moving...maybe transferred them to another store? All the cheap DVDs were thrown in one box, but there were titles in there that I didn't see on Thanksgiving. Overall, the entire Walmart experience was just bizarre.

Best Buy - Chromebook Gymboree - clothes I couldn't get my order to go through at Target, but no biggie there. I didn't buy much this year - even with BF and CM combined! I didn't need/want anything, didn't really see anything in the ads I found enticing, but I was able to get everything on my son's list and then some.

eBay has some really good deals right now! Refurb Fibit for $39.99 and a kitchaid mixer $154 as well as others.

I can't check out...I keep receiving an access denied error.

You do so much already...so very thoughtful and generous! Congratulations early to the winners!!
