Last year at BF we started at Walmart. My sister got an $88 ride in truck for my nephew, but when we got out to the parking lot, the box was too big to fit in the car. A group crowded around us, several people offering to buy it from us if we couldn't get it to fit. (One guy said he'd give us $150!) We ended up tearing it out of the box and putting the various pieces throughout the car so that it would all fit. Luckily, we kept up with them all and it worked when we put it together!

And that just turned my day around! I'm really glad to see that they are so cooperative.

We did this last year for my brother in law. He has so many SNES games and no way to play them. He loved it. in addition, the games for it are super cheap, because no one is plaing SNES anymore! And game store should have lots of used ones.

Does anyone here understand the register rewards? Does that mean that those items are free?

My mom is tax exempt (dad is a disabled veteran) so we have to check out at the customer service section. It's a snap. If you don't want to partner shop, just have something that you want to take back so that you can check out in the back.

I've seen it done every way. Many times the stores do close, just for Thanksgiving night. I've been to one where they did let you walk around with the stuff in your cart, but that was years ago, and I doubt they'd do that now. Some stores pass out tickets, but last year the 24-store I went to just didn't have the items where we could get them until 5.

In the past, they have always left it up to the individual walmart stores. I plan on calling the manager of the store that I plan to go to closer to BF. Although the store I go to is a madhouse on that day, we don't have a camp out situation, and tickets are fairly unnecessary because they always have a lot of things left over.

Wasn't it Office Max that didn't have a BF sale last year?

lol! I'm right there with you! I'm pretty much worthless the week before Thanksgiving.

I wish they would, but the reality is; they probably won't. I'm guessing that they hope that people will shop for Christmas anyway. My one gleam of hope is that maybe people learned from Walmart last year. They had a lot of great deals, and there were many people who never shopped there that started there on Black Friday. Honestly, had it not been for Walmart last year, I wouldn't have been abe to afford gifts for everyone!

Is there anyone who has purchased a plasma in the past on BF? Are you happy with your choice?

Tulsa, OK is an hour away from my house, but still the closest place. I love it, though!

Although Kohl's has some nice deals on Black Friday, it has been my experience that their "50% off" prices are still MUCH higher than other stores at regular price. I love that Kohl's opens so early, but we didn't go last year because we assumed it wasn't really worth our time. (I will say when we have started there, we loved the Kohl's cash!)

I went back through and looked at several of the ads last year to give myself a fix as well!
