Got my 2 items. We'll see how much I'll regret the lack of sleep in a few hours when I get up for work...

My recycle bin is going to be over-flooded with cardboard for the next 4 months.... The packages stop coming in 1 month, but I'll have such a backlog of broken down boxes waiting for space every 2 weeks. We usually catch up right around March.

Your comparison will look something like: Everywhere that sells the Dot: $19.99 2nd Gen $24.99 3rd Gen (I think very few have it for $24 or $25) Everywhere else: Not available The difference will live in additional offers (in order of most bang for your buck): - Kohl's Cash - 5% off w/ Target REDcard - 5% Cash back with Discover Card @ Amazon.com (or the Amazon CC itself) - Best Buy Rewards points There may be others I'm missing There is very little discrepancy in the price of the Dots. Colors available may sway your decision, too. Charcoal, Heather Grey, or White.

Most of the movies they have don't go on sale online. In-Store is where you'll get the majority of those. Some of the really big titles & new releases will be your best bet online, I think.

Sorry to hear that! I would keep checking back; sometimes it comes back in stock as they adjust the inventories. I'll be running through the items to try to keep the "available" list up to date of the items that are still in stock at the BF price for shipping.

I dont remember seeing any.

A good number of items are available now online at the BF price (and a few even lower).

Crosspost from Petsmart ad is disappointing. 2 pails for $19.52 ($9.76 each) at Target right now online with store pickup (Buy One, Get One 15% off @ $13.69 each) & Red Card. Disclaimer: If you do this, you'll miss out waiting in the PetSmart checkout line for 60+ minutes (if you've never been on BF, I'm really not exaggerating) ...so if that's your tradition, go ahead and stick to it.

Was it heavy??

Walmart, Target, and BestBuy are going to have your best prices; you'll have to decide which specs you want.

Probably not excluded. Some exclusions may include gift cards, tobacco, alcohol...

I see now. On the Best Buy website, their current BF ad doesn't have the Homepod in there anymore. I'm not sure if we'll go through the ad and re-confirm the items are still the same, but it's certainly possible that BB reorganized things and added/removed items since it was first released (maybe since no one else had it in their ad?).

I'm not sure what you're asking... It's on Pg 22. Apple Homepod $249.99 Right now on Bestbuy.com, it's still regular price for $349.99. It's not likely part of their early access sale live right now. You'll probably have to wait until Thursday for that item at the BF ad price Though, you're making it sound like the opposite; that you see it for the lower price, but don't see it in the ad. So, I'm not sure.

Yes, lists are seemingly hosed. Luckily, I added everything to the cart too. Hopefully you can find everything again; I wouldn't rely on the list at this point.

I only seem to randomly get that $5 for in-store pickup. It seems to come and go and offered to me sometimes, and not others. Have you found a way to get it every time?

I don't expect the rest of the ad to discount the price of the cat litter any more, though

It's tough to say. Last year was the big year for Dots; but 2nd Gen out this year (and only for $5 more)...I guess which one are you looking for? Worst case is that you order it from one of the other 20 places (that have it for the same price, but without KC - but if you're looking to just get that you wouldn't get KC anyway....though at that point another $25 spent gives you $15 in KC), and then return it there if you can get it from Kohls on Fri AM.

I typically don't see many in everyday shopping. Maybe they stock up for BF?

I didn't see one. Just a controller.

KC only gets you 30% off (if you spend exactly on $50 increment), and probably a 20% coupon code BF week (= 44% off, at best), so if the item is a couponable item (that's the biggest question these days at Kohls), you can probably get it cheaper now - depending on the current sale price. You'll also probably need to get to $75 now for Free Shipping.

A few things I was expecting, but none of the other stuff I was hoping for...

Dick's and Gamestop are really going to throw off Brad's average release dates for next year. Michael's and Joann (not much immediate data on theirs without doing extra research) are late. Home Depot and Menards just need to get it done now that Lowes is out. I wouldn't mind hearing something from Amazon on what they have in store, either... Do they realize we're only a week away? Maybe we should send them a quick email and ask if they know that BF is coming...

Are you looking for a way to mark them "done" in the "Posted Ads' forum as being looked at by you, and again in the 'Shopping List' as being made your list for that store? If you download the PDFs (if you don't, I recommend it), you can move them to different folders on your computer after you've 1. Looked through, and 2. Made your list for them.

I like to plan Black Friday. I get the ads, study them, compare them, and make a list; then study them again. It's difficult for me to be in the middle of making this plan and a retailer says (in the John Madden voice), "Boom! Here's some of our stuff for BF on sale today only". I haven't finished looking, yet. Kohls, for example, I could have picked up some of their stuff but I wasn't ready with everything I wanted and didn't get myself figured out to be just over one of those $50 Mark's to maximize KC.
