1. This is probably year number 10 or 11, but had gone with my mother casually before that. 2. I plan to spend about the same, but that all changes depending on the ads and what we and up needing. 3. Of course! I can't get nearly everything without shopping online. 4. I'll go by myself, and then probably take the kids with me after 8am on Friday. 5. I think I would like to see experiments of: Limited number of people in the store at once, no carts allowed, and a time limit (all during the first 2 hours of opening). When I get to a store, I am usually getting 1-5 items and have to weave through people with carts and that are just wandering trying to decide if they want to get yellow scissors or green scissors on a regular ol' shopping trip.

They are going to need to put some incentive to go back at 5am. With these, you're pretty much committed to be shopping all Thursday night AND Friday morning. ....and then go home to watch the kids by yourself because DW has to work on Friday. Lol

I swung by today. Took a sweep of the store and found nothing. Asked the service desk and they looked at me like I have 2 heads.... Finally got someone say their ads for next week will come in tonight or tomorrow.

"Come back in November" http://www.amazon.com/Black-Friday/b/ref=sv_gb_0?ie=UTF8&node=384082011 Nothing of substance. I'm sure it'll start off as just massive amount of lightning deals (not that unlike what they do every other day) for the first few weeks.

As a manager, I'd probably be afraid they would start ripping through my face should I attempt to stop them... I'm not sure they could pay me enough to step in and try to break that up! Walmart is one of the very few stores that is actually OPEN before the sale starts. The rest of the retailers have lines waiting outside the door and 5 minutes after go-time, there's still line outside the door and dozens of people have already checked out of that store, whereas WM already has EVERYONE inside the store and trying to push carts through the maze of aisles and checkout lines. Sorry; just noticed what thread we're in and this is getting quite a bit off topic

In WM's defense, I also think they have the worst crowds. Then, they are designed to get groups of people in and out through multiple doors, and they have the most "stuff" scattered all over that it's nearly impossible to control things.

Yeah, this is just a real teaser. We don't need a press release out that says "We're going to have a Black Friday ad. Come back in 3 weeks."

Got this from Sears last night. I don't have any more info other than what this says: http://i.info5.searscard.com/wpm/100215/ContentUploads/Coupon_Landing_En/images/coupon.jpg * Excludes the following stores: 1094 - Hackensack, NJ - 436 Main St Hackensack, NJ, 1664 - Paramus, NJ - 585 From Road, Paramus, NJ 07652, 2220 - St. George, UT - 1770 E Red Cliff Dr St George, Utah 84790.

Got mine today. Hopefully you get yours!

Usually, they are different items in toy book vs black friday. If there's something you wanted in the toy book, I'd buy it now.

Congrats all and thanks for the interesting items.

I'd be happy with Monday. Plenty going on with Halloween this weekend anyway. And Mondays with ads always help make the day go by faster

I believe the contest is over, but I know I like seeing everything everyone else posts so I'll still post this: For the camper and and techie... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BQHET9O http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61hC3fzqlkL._SX522_.jpg

Especially these days! While waiting in line, you can do even more BF shopping on the internet for online sales

Sorry, but I do have to side with her on this one. That would be absolutely hilarious...

It's not the Black Friday openings that are crazy; it's the 4pm THANKSGIVING DAY openings that are just not called for. For them, it's just a half-***ed PR stunt that probably won't change anyone's opinion of them. Fine by me, though.

Isn't XBox 360 old news at this point; replaced by XBox One? Much similar as to not expect anything from PS3, either. Or maybe 360 & One are completely different lines of systems (the last one I actually bought was Wii so I'm out of touch on the latest).

My DD5 & DS4 love these to be able to learn to pour their own milk/juice/water. It's also much better than having to fill their cup every 8 seconds (right after you've finally gotten your food and no more than 3 seconds after you sit down). http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004ZAKV32 http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71dikc4QnEL._SL1500_.jpg

This could be a sub-category for the BF Charts that are done. That would be the perfect place to compare them all, but they are always looking for volunteers to help compile those deals and enter them into the charts. PM stationsheif and look here in this thread for more info.

You can't say in one sentence that the K Cups are expensive and then in another that you could have been to Starbucks and back in another.

We collect ornaments from everywhere we go and are always adding new ones each year. Also, my dad gets me the annual collectible Clemson University ornament every year (~13 years now). We put all those on our Clemson tree with orange/purple lights, all Clemson/sports themed ornaments and purple beads. GO TIGERS!!!!!

Gadget for getting your kids to look at the camera and smile when trying to take their picture. I've never used it, but it's been on my wish list for a little while now. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AS5U1KQ/ http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41-oKdzjG7L._SY450_.jpg

Just like back in the good ol' days!

Is there a PDF, Brad? I took a peek in the Posted Ads subforum, but nothing there. Looks like the 25% off sporting goods coupon 11/1-11/7 looks like a good coupon for a bike for DS4. I would imagine that should apply.

It might still be a little early for Kohl's, but I sure am hoping!!
