I liked Circuit City and Comp USA. They were close, had great sales and gave Best Buy some competition.

The coupon giveaway gets me. I go with my daughter if she wants to go. I won $100 one year. I'm hooked. lol

Mostly online...unless something I really want is in stores only.

When do the Black Friday ads for the Verizon store come out. They had some good deals last year

Jingle All The Way It's a Wonderful Life

So far I'm not impressed.

Last year's sale was great. I'm hoping they have similar sales this year.

I'm hoping they have smart TVs on sale this year for a good price.

At least daily when I have internet access and several times a day if I can.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you can get on sale for Black Friday. But...the last time I bought a laptop, I found the prices before Black Friday in early November were as good or better.

I like when Black Friday is later. More time to plan for it.

Merry Chocolate Nut Clusters 2 c chocolate chips 1Tbsp crisco 3 c peanuts Microwave the chocolate chips and crisco in a microwaveable bowl for 2 minutes stirring at 30 second intervals. Adjust time to ensure all chips are melted. Stir in peanuts Drop by spoonful onto wax paper lined cookie sheet. Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour Remove from paper and eat Store leftover nut clusters in refrigerator.

Some things go on sale as cheap now as Black Friday. If it is something that is really useful to have before Black Friday that looks like a good price and probably will not go cheaper on Black Friday, get it now. Some stores/credit cards will let you return the item or report a lower price and give you back the difference in price so you can buy now and worry less about the price going lower. But if a store offers a price with a gift card or store cash or something similar it will probably make the price lower overall so waiting might pay off. If it is a must have toy or limited edition item you better buy it when you see it and not risk missing out while trying to find a lower price. Same if you want multiples of the same item for multiple gifts because Black Friday deals are often limited to 1 per person and may not be back in stock after Black Friday.

It caught me off guard this year. I thought the first ad would be later.

Great! A chance to win money. I love all the tips and ideas in the posts!

A few came earlier in the week but the big mass of ads that usually come on Thursday must be coming Thursday because there were no ads today. Sad since most stores already have their Black Friday sales online.

My friend has asked at customer service before and they have let her use expired Kohl's cash the following week- they say it can be used as long as the system accepts it.. I try to use mine before it expires. I usually buy washcloths or dish towels if I can't find something I want.Then I have a ready gift or something I can always use.

Yes! It's hard to find anything good any more. If you sort price low to high, it takes pages to get to anything that might be good.

I think spending overall will be down due to the uncertainty of privitization of Social Security which the Republicans have wanted for a long time and worry about repeal of obamacare which will leave many with high health care costs.

I think the Black Friday ads are not as good as usual. A lot of the same things have been on sale at that price already. Amazon had lower prices and better deals in October than they have had since the countdown to black friday started. A lot of the better deals seem to be missing this year. At least I haven't noticed many rebates. I try to avoid those.

I think the deals were better in October so far.

Sat. Nov. 12 is the day I'm watching. Last year they had several of their Black Friday items on sale at the Black Friday prices. I haven't seen any mailing or emails on it from Sam's club yet.

I think Black Friday deals will be about the same. The factor that might have an influence is the reports of an improving economy. Retailers might figure they can offer deals that are not as good as before and still get the sales. But if the people do not think the economy is improving, they will have that extra weekend to mark things down before Christmas.

I love Black Friday shopping! I used to go with my daughters to early morning sales. Now everyone is older and living in other states. So it is easier and cheaper to buy some things online and have them shipped directly to the recepient. But there is always something to "find" for friends and relatives living close. I usually manage to hit a few stores even if I'm not looking for a doorbuster deal- I always find something.
