Geno LOL! That happened to me this summer at an amusement park. We went with my landlord and her brood of kids. Altogether there where 22 of us so we had the walkie talkies. So i'm sitting there talking to the person on the other end I thought it was one of the boys wanting to know where we where. Well lo and behold it was some guy on the same channel in the park. LOL almost had 23 for lunch!

It was in the last month. My landlords girls love Bratz so I'm always an the look out for them. All the Walmarts in my area are putting toys on clearence to make room for Christmas stuff. The shelves where bare last month because they cleaned out the toys and moved then to the clearence ailse.

Geno have you been checking your local Walmart for clearence Bratz? Here they where 5.00 a piece and also they have the motorcycle,juice bar and beach house dirt cheap. And the shoes also for 1.00.

No not to far at all. HOpefully no snow this year last year was nice here. I go to the Super WM in Watkins Glen. They had no clue last year because that is a brand new store hopefully this year will be better.

Hi Vicky I'm in Central NY also but no snow here yet. I'm on Keuka Lake where are you from? Nice to see another BF addict from NY here.

Rossman you can have all the snow NY gets this year feel free to take it! LOL

I have gotten 2001 ads! I hope they are not putting the lock down on the ads this year.

It does sound like a great store my husband would be in cherry heaven at that price!

I usually wear what ever I can grab while stumbling around in the dark trying not to wake my husband and son at 3 in the morning! Believe me it's not pretty.

Boy I wish there was a Menard's around here it sounds like a great store. But i live in the sticks of upstate NY!

Well That is what I thought also I asked at the WM here and they said nope not closing but when we got there lo and behold doors locked and lines forming. My mom got on a managers butt about it. But the store was brand new so I think that they had no idea how they should do BF. Maybe this year will be different.

My mom and I rehash the battle plan and just generally catch up with each other. And sometimes we find someone interesting in line to chit chat with. Last year it was a lady from NJ out for her first BF. She was a pill!

Believe me my mom and I have are plan so talked out when we get to a store it's almost sick! LOL My mom goes one way and i go the other and we meet at the check out. This year we are taking walkie talkies with us so we can keep in contact with each other. Also the WM in our area is a Super WM so there are two doors one on each side so she is going to one and i"m going to the other.

I usually don't stash anything but I go the day before to WM and scout out the locations of things and see if I can price match things because they have to be the same item or they will not do it.

I get all the ads and figure out what Wal mart will price match. Last year I got almost everything price matched there so that was my first store BF morning and everything else I wanted the other stores still had when I got to them.

Last year my mom and I got to Wal mart at about 5 am and we where about 25 people back. This year we are going to go a little earlier. Kmart opens earlier but I went there after Walmart and still go every thing on my list. I also went to Big Lots on Thanksgiving day and got there about 5 or so and I was about 5th in line. The line was down the parking lot by the time they opened the door. Everyone wanted the 99 dollar recliners and they only had 5! Some very disappointed people that day.

WOW every store should do that! I remember one year TRU gave out coffee and pop tarts to everyone. But that was about 4 years ago.

Geno it amazes me how other wise nice people can turn into mean and RUDE people. I have been chit chatting with old ladies outside of the store before the doors open and once they open these ladies turn into heat seeking, bargin hunting, balls of sheer MEAN! LOL

My mom and I plan a strategy every year. She runs one way in Wal-mart and I run the other clearing my path with my cart on the way! I have never done any bodily harm to anyone yet they all jump in time! LOL I usually always get everything I want on my list. And last year my son wanted a Go-Bot and I have coupons from Fisher Price for 2.00 off any toy and Go-bots are made by them. SO when the door at Wal mart opened we attacked. I went and grabbed all my stuff and then got the Go Bot. It was on a shelf that said 5.88 or something like that well it rang up 13.00. I told the lady no I think that is wrong so she without even checking rang it up for the price I told her and took my coupon. I got a 13 dollar toy for 2 bucks!!! My son was happy and so was I!

Hey I'm so glad I found this forum! I have been chomping at the bit for ads since Febuary! LOL Can't wait to see some ads and start my list. My son wants a stereo and I would like a portable DVD player for the car.
