There are significantly less and less out at 4am from the last few years since there's been Thursday openings. Most sales are either 6pm, 8pm, 10pm, midnight, or 7am. There aren't many that will stay up late on Thursday and then go back out at 4am when they will be standing in line for doorbuster of stores that open back up at 6am or 7am.

Yes, but the more times they get you in the store, the more stuff you'll buy. Edit: I doubt there's a consumer in favor of this (other than maybe if you only wanted one thing from the store and it was in the Friday 8am sale ), but the retailers have had success with it and I doubt it'll ever go away now.

There's definitely some good deals; I mean it IS Kohl's on Black Friday with $15 back on $50. However, I feel like this is nowhere as good as they usually are. I recall the ad was 60-something pages last year (I know, I could go look but I really thought it was over 60) and barely even 40 this year. I agree with others this is very heavily electronics-driven, which is not what I think of when I think of Kohl's.

.....Hence my constant air quotes around the "laptop" every time

It's the only 249.99 Asus "laptop" I see they have.

BioLite Wood Burning Camp Stove USB Charger http://www.ebay.com/itm/BioLite-Wood-Burning-Campstove-Usb-Charger-Emergency-Backpacking-Portable-Hiking-/181576479564?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a46cd334c This would be a great gift for the camper, fisher, hiker that also uses their technology device. This is small and easy to take with you and can generate power to charge your cell phone/tablet while "roughin' it out in the wilderness" with just a wood fire.

I use Lightning Deals quite a bit. Often it's for things I didn't know I needed until they show up and are on a good sale

The best is yet to come.....I hope.

Nightmare before Christmas ??

I thought it was only 20% during the BF week, but yes I definitely remember the $15 for every $50 Kohls Cash.

Elenco Shap Circuits SC-300 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Electronic-Snap-Circuits-by-Elenco-SC-300-/261645801879?pt=Educational_Toys_US&hash=item3ceb4e1997 Great for a science-minded child. There's also a larger kit and then a really big one if you know they'll like this.

Friday, 11/14.

The Sports Authority BF ad has the Hero 3+ Silver (yes, the compromise between those 2 you're looking for) for $249. Be the first 80 in line on Thursday or Friday and you get a gift card from $10-$500 to use; so at the very least it's $239.......maybe you'll even get it for free with the right gift card

Probably this "beast": http://www.staples.com/StaplesProductDisplay?catalogIdentifier=2&noredir=true&langId=-1&productId=4254676&storeId=10001 Not bad for the price, but still an overweight tablet.

Probably can't even call it a netbook. It's just a really heavy e-reader...

Oh I should start watching commercials again for things like this now that the campaign ads are done. 5/6 commercials would just be campaign ads before this week. Now, let the sales air!!

It's not guilt when you know you're saving someone else 40%+ off the retail price by buying it yourself. I'd hate to know I could have gotten it heavily discounted and then have someone buy it for me from my xmas list at retail!

Lionel 31960 Polar Express New Factory Seal http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lionel-31960-Polar-Express-New-Factory-Seal-Limited-Quanties-/191385579650?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item2c8f783082 This would be a great gift for a train enthusiast, Polar Express fan, or any little kid that might get into these. There's various sets and/or engines out there on ebay so pick the one that works for your set and price range.

gottadeal always does a great job and rest assured, there will be a newer, clearer, less watermarked version in the coming days. It's better to have the watermarked version up than none at all....except this now teases us for more and more!

Oh my.... There better be some really good deals and the best snow globes we've ever seen! This now makes me want to say Walmart will be open at noon (On Tuesday). I certainly didn't expect JCP to be the first to crack the 6pm barrier (besides the KMart, Walgreens, and other consistent Thursday stores).

True. I like both options and I think it's just going to be a matter of checking all over for what I want and finding the prices that are worth buying at. There isn't really a ton of things I need this year, but I usually shop based on what the best deals are and where you get the best value.

Map worked now. Thanks!

Where is the mentioned 25% off coupon?

Madison, WI

Is that really how low the 4K TVs are getting now? Under $1000 for 60", and it's Vizio which isn't top of the line but also not cheap. That's incredible to me...I'm excited for the ads even more now!
