I think this will be interesting because it will be on a palette and at such a good price, this is going to look like the towels section. People in the front getting theirs and trying to get out while others trample their way in. I would like to think a few hours early would be enough but hard to tell.

Ditto here. And then I use the item number to look at them in Costco.com and only half of them actually exist. Sometimes not even the product. Was able to dig up a few though. Costco does that for their monthly deals in the coupon book. Even annoys me then, too. Even on items I have no interest in buying....I still like seeing the final price :-)

They put out press releases or mention it on their web site as we get closer. Give that another week.

Planning on Nabi2 for DD3. Agree 12 is probably bit old.

The one and only Madison, WI.

I have been spending more time out because you start earlier and still have some 5am openings so I still stay out til 7 or 8. Used to leave the house at 2 am through 8am. Now 8pm through 8am....may've with a nap somewhere in there...

Its like a debit/credit card with a balance of $50. Use it anywhere VISA is accepted. Now sure what that means for international, but likely some foreign transaction fees when you use it since it's based in US.

I am very excited about Nabi2, too.

Yup, it was Best Buy @ $169. I know BB is matching something through the season, but I doubt on BF.

I saw the Nabi 2 somewhere else in one of the BF ads (can't remember where at this moment), but it sure wasn't as low as $129....I am thinking it was $169. I doubt anywhere will PM on BF ads, but I'm sure that will be a giant upcoming topic of discussion.

Yay Menards....the ad that makes me realize items I never knew I needed. Impossible to go BF without hopping in there.

Super! Some of those ads get pretty big in file size, so be mindful. My phone takes a performance hit around this time of year ;-)

I just go to the forum with the ads, then the thread for the store. First post contains the PDF. Save that fella. I use the Android App; can't imagine it differs that much...

Last year, they had a friends and family sale the week after BF. 30% off everything. I couldn't find any info on an actual BF sale, but not to say there wasn't or couldn't be this year. http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?241392-Yankee-candle-friends-and-family-sale

Thanks!!! So excited. Congrats to my fellow winners.

My goal is always 60% off retail. Last 2 years averaged about 63% off. So depending on how much stuff I buy will affect how much I save ;-) Edit: Oops. Misread that. I don't set an amount. Pretty much if it's a good deal and can go somewhere of good use, I get it!

For me, its the thrill of getting a good deal on something you were already going to buy. Plus its nice to meet new people in lines while you are waiting.

Congrats! From what I remember, it was hardly crowded at all but I don't remember there being anything extremely to-die-for in the ad. I think it's all going to depend on whether your babies r us is its own store from TRU. If they are a separate store, you have a much better chance of getting through easier. The babies r us sale usually doesn't start til a normal morning time (like 7 or 8) so im not sure how they handle it where the two stores are in the same location. It all depends on what you're looking for. Keep an eye on Amazon through the holidays. There are all kinds of random lightning deals.

Depends on when the opening times are.... Dinner might be at 8am this year.

Doing some planning Shopping at stores and online Leads to super deals

Wednesday??? Oh my. This could make things interesting.

And that year it was probably -10° and blizzard conditions in WI ;-)

Is "almost 3 years old" too young for a tablet? What can they use it for at age 3 but still grow into it for a few years? I imagine one of the taboo or leappad wont be as interesting to them in 2 years when they can fully use and iPad or Android tablet so I think im leaning to an Android, but maybe wait one more year?

It's hard to say how this will factor in. It all depends on the items in the ad for me. Would have to be worth fighting to Target crowd - usually isn't. Waiting in exterior lines certainly are much more difficult than TX or FL. The wind chills can easily be below 0° F. Im hoping for 32°…that makes it bearable.

Love the show and love the request!
