Those dang stick vacs. They are cheap so every year I keep buying them but they are crap after a few months. It infuriates my husband but buying a stick vac is BF tradition at this point [emoji23]

I still handwrite my lists and par then down as time gets closer. I shop online all week then go out in person. I probably could get away with not leaving my house but I still enjoy going out and shopping.

Got mine, yay!

The ad says Thursday at 5pm

Tick tock door busters!

I got EVERY SINGLE ITEM. Holy balls. To the hard workers updating the tracker- thank you. I can't even believe that just happened so easily.

Walmart keeps us on our toes every year, no one knows what they will do although I pray the drop everything at 11 so I have some hope for sleep.

Got minecraft, one less thing to search for at Walmart!

so glad you posted this, I have been wondering the same.

Black Friday is almost more for stuff for around the house than toys. Towels, sheets, pillows, throws etc are all bought new every year at this time.

3pm? I like the ad but this messes up my game plan.

Always Walmart and Kohls. I get excited for Target but rarely do I end up there for one reason or another.

I make numerous lists for each store. A list of things I want when I first look at the ad, then I re-look at all the ads a time or two and compare and par down my lists. I go into Thanksgiving week with my final lists, I keep one on my phone and one on paper. Log into all the sites I plan to shop from to make sure I remember log ins and have updated info week of. I am pretty organized but no binders or formal system.

I bought some Nerf guns for my son and some bath toys for my nephews but that's it so far. I get a lot leading up to lack Friday little by little.

I am first every year at Walgreens, have been first at Kohls a few times and Walmart several times. The year I got there super early to make SURE I got trampoline for my son was the year they started making lines with tickets for certain items, I still remember how excited I was.

It is definitely not the same. However I still try to make the best of it and pump up the people I shop with and those around me. I do miss the good ole days of standing outside at midnight in the cold with the hardcore people. Now it's Walmart on Thursday at like 4pm with every person in town.

I doubt it.

I've gotten a few random things off Amazon, little kid toy deals are not hard to come by throughout the year for niece/nephews. My son is now too old for most of that so I have to watch like a hawk and plan for the things he wants. If I see something at a decent price I grab it, no point in waiting for BF if I know it won't be much cheaper then and saves me the hassle.

Hopefully it will spell ads being released earlier!

Just do it! I am so glad I did, I find all kinds of excuses to use mine and I am not the best cooker/baker by far. Plus it looks really nice displayed

I am so ready! I have ben quietly creeping but logged in and posting in full force.

Definitely Kohls. Although I have randomly been seeing good deals here and there the past few weeks.

Online. I get as many of the major things I want online as I can do it takes the pressure off of the in store shopping. I will always do both, I can't imagine skipping in store.

Desk top for my son. He hasn't really said much about what he wants.... yet!

My shirt arrived today and is the wrong size as well. No answer to any of my repeated emails over the past 2 weeks either. Not a happy camper!
