There's some decent deals in here. This might be the place to go in the Kohl's ad really ends up missing the entire Home section. I initially found all the promotions to be a bit confusing and will have to re-process everything to determine what discount you get at what time so I can plan when to go in the store/shop online. Coupon Giveaway: IN STORE ONLY, THURSDAY 5PM - while they last$10 off $10 purchase (valid Thursday/Friday only) OR1 in 100 is $100 Super Coupon (valid Thursday thru Dec 24th); I have no idea what the other 99 are worth, $0??So you either take your guaranteed $10 or take your 1% at $100, 99% chance $0?$20 Bonus Cash: IN STORE ONLY, FRIDAY 6AM - 1PM$20 Bonus Cash when you spend $75 in store (valid to use Dec 2 - Dec 24)Extra % off: IN STORE, FRIDAY 2PM - CLOSE; ONLINE, FRIDAY 2PM - 11:59PM20% off if you use you JCP Credit Card15% otherwise (on most things)10% on certain categoriesThere is ALOT of fine print on this one; notably "excludes Big Buy (which is everything in this ad), Best Value, Disney, Licensed Team Apparel, ..."; so really maybe just good for some extra 15% discount on some random clearance clothes. So, this helped me understand everything (hopefully it'll help someone else too), but didn't really entice me too much. This is in the "MAYBE" pile.

Symphony in B. Orchestra Musical Toy http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTAwWDUwMA==/z/G4sAAOxyUrZSvqSv/$_1.JPG http://www.ebay.com/itm/B-Symphony-in-B-Orchestra-/281319251123?pt=Educational_Toys_US&hash=item417fef1cb3 This toy plays a collection of songs and has all the instruments for an orchestra. When you move the instrument "into the pit" their part in the song plays. You can pick one instrument, a few, or include as many the would be included in the song. My kids don't quite understand all the aspects, but love playing with it and are beginning to learn their instruments.

Coleman Road Trip Grill http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAwMFgxMDAw/z/JrcAAOSwr81UOt-T/$_57.JPG http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-Coleman-RoadTrip-Portable-Propane-Gas-Grill-Model-9941-768-/321550215505?pt=Barbecues_Grills_Smokers&hash=item4adde2e951 This is a portable, collapsible, almost full size grill that can be taken camping or tailgating. We've used ours for over 10 years and still works when we need it. We can cook 10 burgers at a time on here and the 2 sides are independently interchangeable from grill grates, to stove top, to griddle (works great for grilled cheese or pancakes!).

More and more people are shopping kohls.com and I think the lines are shorter than they used to be. I remember those days, too. With opening times on Thursday and so many other stores opening around the same time, I think Kohl's shoppers are getting more staggered and the crowd doesn't just come all at once.

Definitely a good ad for the cat. We're debating on getting a saltwater fish tank and those 50% off might be the incentive for this to be the time...

If you're looking for a crib Mattress Topper, there's one on Amazon.com Lightning Deal tomorrow at 10:00 am ET. Here's the link to the product: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L4HJESC/ref=gb1h_img_c-2_6602_b2e91f75?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_s=center-new-2&pf_rd_r=08R3GMJJQQ8GAC8DJ2JB&pf_rd_i=20&pf_rd_p=1965626602

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!
