1. Plan on spending around $250, and helping my parents (the grandparents to my two boys) spend quite a bit more 2. I will typically hit 5 or 6 big box stores, plus the mall. Not to buy things at all of them, just to watch people going crazy. 3. I will probably shop about the same amount online. Typically do a quick check of what's available Wednesday night/Thursday morning, and if I can get what I want online great! Thanks for the gottadeal black friday site! I have enjoyed coming on here around this time of year for years. Always super informative and great fun.
