Glad I'm not starting at BB!!

Hmm 5 minutes in and BB's already looking hot

Ummm no

Alright folks, what's your first stop.. I want to know if a million of you are going to be at the same place I am so I know how early to get out there!!! and whatcha goin' for?

I knew you wouldn't let me down!!

No, of course I can't find it now... but I thought there was one about which store you were going to first on BF... I can just start one with a poll if that works.... I'd like to know where everyone is camping so I can plan my route and what is going to be the most wanted

My husband would never get up that early in the morning to go shopping with me!! Well maybe if I cried or something he would.... but really, I need a babysitter so my mom and I can go and he's happy to do that so we're both perfectly happy!!!

There's a thread talking about this now... http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=53928&page=2

Cashiers who take their sweet time (some of them angry because they're working on BF) when they know everyone has 4 more stores to go to and a line of 100 people behind you....

Ah hah!! I knew I couldn't be the only one thinking this way!!

I've always considered this but never done it... since WM price matches and they know what every other store is putting on sale I always feel like they will put away the expensive stuff that is being sold at a cutrate price so we can't price match.... Has anyone gone to WM the day before and "hid" all their pricematch stuff or the stuff that is going to be on sale on BF and is already out on the floor so you know where to find it and are sure you'll get it? I've never done it but I can tell you I sure have considered it!! c'mon... I can't be the only one who thinks like that!!

I miss some of the BF features we had last year... I like the feature that looked at everyone's shopping lists and told us what items were the most wanted so we could plan out how early we had to go to get it... I also miss the search function on the items so you could just type in what you were looking for (I know we have the by category function but it doesn't seem the same). No offense to Brad and Ross because I still love the site, but geesh you spoiled us last year!! I saw that someone had asked what everyone's first stop was? Can we get a poll for that so we don't have to go through each response? That also helped me decide last year how early I needed to get in line if I thought everyone else was going too..

I love Brandsmart... their ad never gets posted before BF (I guess because it's in such a limited place). We got the GBASP for my oldest daughter on BF year before last for 49.99, (which was when they were new) and they're still at 79.99 today regular priced. I'm hoping they'll have a BF deal even better than the ones that are in the paper this week (Care Bear if you can hold on don't open your DS just in case) 'cause I need another one. We also got the IPOD shuffle for cheap last year too... The best thing about Brandsmart though is when they advertise these deals, they say how many they have and there is usually a ton. With the GBASP's 2 years ago they had 200 of them, we got there just as the doors were opening after waiting all night at BB for the 149.00 desktop and snagged 2 of them.

Nope

Brandsmart has the DS Lite for 88 dollars in this weeks ad if you happen to have one near you (mainly GA and S Florida) they also have GBASP for 59 and PSP for 178... I'm still holding out for their BF ad though....last year we got the GBASP for 49... I'm hoping there will be an even better deal this year...

If anyone has a brandsmart near them they have the DS lite for 88 this week...

This is the ad I can't wait for... Brandsmart always changes my gameplan

I wanted to buy my daughter that shake and roll speedway from Walmart, and when we did realized it wasn't CARS, but the one at Costco was... just an FYI in case anyone is buying the speedway and prefers the CARS version...

Where is the best place to buy these? Looked like 29 at Walmart, and BJ's had them for 22... can I get it better anywhere else? BTW we need the Bratz version

I have a question for you experts too... how do the links cables work? do both people have to have a game cartridge, or does just one of you?

We bought an educational toy for the older one that they can both use (they're only 2 years apart) so I don't feel to bad there.... the little one really thinks she wants a game boy and if they're really 30 bucks on BF it is good for us... we were thinking of going for the new DS but thought... hey we don't have to buy a bunch of new games because we already have a bunch she can play.... we just get her 2 or 3 and we're good !!! I do have a question though.. does anyone know how the linx cables work? Do you both have to have the same game cartidge for this to work? or does only one person have to have it?

Funny I should see this today... I got both the JCPenney and Sears toy books in the mail today and had my kids do exactly what my my mom had us do when we were little... everyone got a different colored pen and got to circle what they wanted..... It reminded me of when I was little and I loved watching them, especially when they showed me what they had circled. I even have the older one trained, she would look at something and say "that's a 100 dollars, Mommy's not gonna buy that!!!"

I had like 3 tablecloths, some candy pumpkins, some boxes of fruit snacks (they had halloween wrappers), 3 of the party packs with 25each of dessert plates, dinner plates, napkins serving bowl and table cloth, 3 place mats, and 2 strands of the shiny garland.... I had a bunch of other stuff in the basket and then put it back 'cause I didn't want to spend too much money LOL!!

No Freds for me!!!

I was at Kmart today and their Halloween clearance was 75% off, so I picked up a bunch of stuff. I scanned it to make sure it was ringing up right and on the way to the register I saw these party paks (tablecloth, big bowl, napkins, dessert plates and dinner plates for 25) which were normally 9.99 and would only be 2.50. I picked up a couple for the kids school parties next year and went to the register. She rang everything up, but I couldn't see the screen (plus I was distracted by my 4year old attempting to put unpaid for merchandise in the basket) and I asked her if the party packs were ringing up right because it looked like they were ringing up at 5.00, but I really couldn't tell 'cause I couldn't see. The cashier got very exasperated (not meanly just loudly) and said that none of the Halloween stuff was ringing up right today and now she was going to have to call a supervisor over to void my order, then re-ring the whole thing to fix it. (The people behind me were not happy of course). So she did and it seemed to take them forever to ring it up... when she finally did she said the total was 7 something. I realized immediately that she had just taken 75% off of everything (which all of it except the party packs were already ringing up at 75%, and even those were ringing up at 50%). So I really got 75% off of 75% off on all my stuff (what's that like 93% off?). I started to say something and then looked at all the people behind me who had already been waiting a while, and then just took the receipt and left. I feel bad about it now,... would you have said something?
