That's very true. I never really thought about it much. Though, they did learn the Pup Pup Boogie...[emoji6]

And you, in turn, told the cashier "No, I like my friends" as to not subject them to WM on BF? Since WM has started staggering their door busters, there's quite often time where WM will be extremely dead. It's busy during the DB and then the fallout of the 90 minutes after to get everyone checked out, but then it dies down til the next one because everyone goes to shop elsewhere.

We might get a secret hidden 20 or 30 to pop up that week. I don't think one came last year, but I'm fairly certain we did the year before (about an hour after the online sale went live). We ARE still ~40 days away from the Kohl's.com sale going live...

Paw Patrol continues to get bigger and bigger. My kids loved everything paw patrol before it even got cool (as in they watched the first ever episode when it premiered) and they have pretty much outgrown it already. Yet, when the Air Patroller comes out they "have to have it".

I can't imagine any of them would actually do it on election day. And I feel that any time before would be to early. Only time will tell.

Just placed 2 orders at Kohls for new bath towels for the DW and I. Using 2x $5 off $5 or more (one on each order) and in-store pickup, I got each $10.99 towel for $0.83 incl. tax. ...And used Chase Freedom CC, which gets 5% cash back this quarter at department stores, so that's another $0.04 back ;-)

I've seen NFL.com and such have Cyber Monday sales (though, not all that great), but if you need a certain player in a certain size, you might not want to wait.

The problem is that while we are all Black Friday lovers and want it back to the old way, the newbies coming in who don't really know BF, are benefitting from this and will continue to shop on Thanksgiving.

I don't really do much explicit saving, but Discover Card cashback bonus can be redeemed for gift cards to places like Kohls that I'll inevitably spend $100 at every year, so I order some ahead of time. It usually takes ~ 2 weeks for shipping so I can't really afford to wait until all the major ads get leaked to pick which gift cards I want to order.

I agree with Kohls.

No serious shopping, but always looking for deals throughout the year. BestBuy Deals of the Day. Random Amazon Lightning Deals. Probably only 10% done.

"I don't always shop on Black Friday. But when I do, I prefer to use GottaDeal.com."

Pokemon themed. ....Someone had to say it.

Pokemon something or another has to get some hype.... Sent from my SM-G930V using GottaDeal mobile app Do both of these have newer gaming systems out now? Sent from my SM-G930V using GottaDeal mobile app

I feel there has to be some of these in the ads this year. I look at them as the scooter boards of last year. Second rate companies will be making them and they will end up selling this season and then dieing out. Sent from my SM-G930V using GottaDeal mobile app

I seem to recall them having a small ad open on BF. Usually nothing crazy, and in store only. Sent from my SM-G930V using GottaDeal mobile app

I started in 2005. I had just moved to a new house and needed a new TV. Waited in line at Circuit City for 4 hours in subzero temperatures with occasional snow. I was easily after 30th in line; still got my TV and use it on a semi-regular basis still today. Since then, it's been about the fun of prepping, finding things I'd likely buy anyway at a highly discounted price, planning out when/where to go, and getting all those deals. Half of the shopping is for myself, but it's still getting great deals. It's also fun to meet some new people while you're out and about. Lately, it's turned into more online and less in stores. It's not nearly the same. Sent from my SM-G930V using GottaDeal mobile app

I've already started making my list of things....wondering if I can hold out that long until BF gets here!

I think their extended return policy goes til the middle of January so you can PM anything that gets cheaper before then!

Great.... I have the SB6121; Got it for $72 4 years ago. Maybe time to upgrade to the 6141, or not that big of a deal?

Pretty invested... lol. I have 3 Nikons; Point & Shoot, AW100 (waterproof), and D5000 (DSLR) with 18-55mm, 55-200mm, & 1.8 Prime Lens. I've taken over 50,000 pictures (and have kept probably 25,000-30,000) from kids and vacations over the past 6 years. I enjoy their menus, and quality, and doubt I'd stray from that at this point.

What would you suggest?

The Nikon D7200 is still on my wish list, but I haven't been able to justify with myself the price tag.

Beats Solo just arrived today; I guess this makes up for not winning a tshirt this year. Thanks again to Brad and everyone at GottaDeal and all the well-wishes. You talk too much??? yikes...now, granted many of those were double entries for being during the online forum bonus time; that entire week, I was either putting stuff in my cart and checking out, or posting deals here, or reading the other posts and answering questions, or adding items to the Online Tracker - sleep was way down on the priority list. Yeah, you and me, both...

Don't give up on it, yet, Becky. But I agree, a backup plan is always helpful.
