server too busy!!!!

No stores in Maine open on Turkey Day! So we get to shop the thanksgiving day sale on Wednesday!

got mine today too....ordered friday or saturday can't remember now LOL But it came today!!!

how do you get the free shipping? mine says shipping is $4.62????

Last year I would have paid BIG bucks for a hot cup of cocoa or coffee! It was FREEZING in Maine and it was my first winter back after living in FL for 4 years! When McD's finally opened at 5am I made a coffee/cocoa run and got to use the bathroom. Everyone in line was grateful for a hot drink! This year I am bringing my thermos with hot coffee!

I am looking to get these for my girls for Christmas! The safe can be seen here and in pink. The money jar is here. I am trying to see if I can get a 'deal' on them or not! I am willing to pay full price if I have to as they aren't really too bad to begin with!

I don't like that they don't tell you how much shipping is going to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my bf had me order it for him....

Thanks Brad! it's $125 @walmart....not yet showing up on TRU.com

I want to know what that High School musical house/school thing is on the bottom of the HSM3 page!!! How much and what not....anyone???

I live in a super small town...one gas pump kinda town...no stop lights and 1 hour from ANYTHING resembling a 'chain' store! So I drive 1 hour to the city and then 1 hour home....I am usually beat by time I get home!!!

OK this costume isn't for everyone BUT it is funny in a sick sort of way.... the girl dresses in a man's button up shirt a bit over sized and a pair of jeans. Buy a plastic chef knife and put bright red fingernail polish on to 'bloody' it up a bit. Use some fake blood on face arms and shirt. the guy dresses in pj's. need one 'evidence' bag with either cocktail weinie or kielbasa (most guys go for the kielbasa) and fake blood put fake blood on his pj bottoms and viola John and Lorena Bobbit

I ordered this one...it is $199.99 at circuit city!! I am not taking the chance of not getting one on BF. I am sure there will be other GPS's on sale on BF BUT how limited will the stock be?

I ordered a bunch at great prices from Amazon last year! During their big toy sale after BF

I'm on season #12 here and can't wait for it again this year...I will hate when my girls are gone and grown and I have no reason to shop on BF...then I'll look forward to the grands and hopefully shopping with my daughters!

Bangor ME

oh man I could have used one of those too?? Those boots could have been about $8!!! I found the shipping to be reasonable though the boots ended up being 13.01 a pair with shipping (39.03 for 3 pair of boots shipped!)

I just ordered 3 pair of the Kamik Kaboom Pac Boots (For Youth) for 10.36 each!!! Holy smokes! They were marked 12.95 and I had gone there through an email link for 20% off!!!

Black Friday flyers online with gotta dealers relief when over

Am I the only Mainer here? I'll be freezing my buns off at Toys R Us in Bangor Maine...probably get there @ 1am again! If anyone else is showing up after me...please bring hot chocolate or GOOD coffee! I'll be cold and need a porta potty!

I would LOVE to see a Store Map with the listing of where each item from the flier is!! I can't stand walking around the stores trying to find it or asking an employee where they are when they don't know either!!! I love the ticket idea. I haven't had to shop at Best Buy, my kids are still some what little and I hit TRU first every year! The Zunes last year were a joke...3 in the store when just hours before there were 8! Where did the other 5 go?

I posted before and didn't see it up yet!! Bangor Maine

I have done both these recipes and they are YUMMY! Stuffed Pork Chops with Gorgonzola and Apple serves 2 INGREDIENTS * 1 tablespoon butter * 1/2 tablespoon dried thyme * 1/2 cup chopped Granny Smith apples * ground black pepper to taste * 1/4 cup Gorgonzola cheese at room temperature, crumbled * * 2 thick cut pork chops * * 1/2 teaspoon olive oil * 2 cloves garlic * 1/4 cup Gorgonzola cheese * 3 tablespoons dry sherry * 1/8 cup heavy cream * 1/2 cup chicken broth * salt and pepper to taste DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 2. To make the apple stuffing: In a saute pan or skillet on medium heat, melt the butter and saute thyme, chopped apples, salt and pepper together until the apples are completely softened; about 15 to 20 minutes. 3. Place the apple mixture in a bowl and mix in 1/4 cup Gorgonzola cheese. The cheese should liquefy into the stuffing within a couple of minutes. 4. To prepare the pork chops: Butterfly the pork chops by slicing them parallel to the plane of the chop from the fat side to the bone. Stuff each one with about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the apple mixture. 5. Bake the chops for about 1 hour. Place the chops on a rack with the two stuffing sides pressed together to hold the stuffing inside the chops. 6. To make the sauce: Heat the oil in a saute pan or skillet on medium heat, then saute the garlic until transparent, and the cheese until slightly melting. Immediately add the sherry, let cook for a minute until combined, then add the cream and 1/4 cup of the chicken stock, salt and pepper. Stir until well blended. Stir occasionally and reduce the liquid on medium high heat until the sauce begins to toast/caramelize and turn darker brown. Add the remaining 1/4 cup chicken stock, reincorporate the cheese and continue reducing until there is just 1/4 to 1/2 cup of thick liquid remaining. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rosemary-Scented Pork Loin Stuffed With Roasted Garlic, Dried Apricots and Cranberries and Port Wine Pan Sauce serves 16 easily INGREDIENTS * 3 tablespoons olive oil * 16 whole peeled garlic cloves * 2 tablespoons minced garlic cloves * 1 (8 pound) whole boneless pork loin, patted dry, at room temperature * Salt and freshly ground pepper * 3 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary (snip with scissors), divided * 16 dried apricots (or similar amount of your favorite dried fruit) * 1/3 cup dried cranberries * Heavy kitchen string or twine * 1/4 cup apple jelly * 1/4 cup port * 1/2 cup chicken broth * 2 tablespoons apple jelly * 2 teaspoons cornstarch DIRECTIONS 1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 250 degrees. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add whole garlic cloves and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; reserve oil. 2. Turn pork loin fat-side down. Slit lengthwise, almost but not quite all the way through, to form a long pocket, leaving a 1/2-inch border of unslit meat at each end. Brush cavity with some of the reserved garlic cooking oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and 1 Tb. of the rosemary. Line cavity with sauteed garlic and apricots; sprinkle in cranberries. Tie loin together with kitchen twine or heavy-duty string at 1 1/2-inch intervals. 3. Brush with remaining oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Set roast, fat-side up, diagonally or curved (so it fits) on a large, lipped cookie sheet or jellyroll pan. Warm 1/4 cup apple jelly along with the minced garlic and remaining rosemary. Brush mixture onto meat. 4. Roast until a meat thermometer stuck into the center registers 125 to 130 degrees. (Start checking at about 1 1/2 hours.) Remove from oven; raise oven temperature to 400 degrees. Brush loin with pan drippings, return to oven, and continue to roast until the loin is golden brown and a meat thermometer stuck into the center registers 155 to 160 degrees, about 20 minutes longer. For even more attractive coloring, broil until spotty brown, 3 to 5 minutes. 5. Let roast rest 15 to 20 minutes; transfer to a carving board. Stir juices around pan to loosen brown bits. Pour through a strainer into a small pan, and stir in port, chicken broth and remaining 2 Tbs. of jelly; bring to a simmer. Mix cornstarch with a couple of tablespoons of cold water; whisk into sauce. Simmer until lightly thickened. Slice pork and serve with a little sauce. FOOTNOTES * If you opt to roast a portion rather than a whole pork loin, select the more flavorful rib end. A 4-pound roast will serve 8. * This recipe was originally featured in the USA WEEKEND article A Simple Christmas Dinner on December 14, 2003. * Find the Perfect Recipe from Pam Anderson. * Pam Anderson is the author of four cookbooks, including her latest, Perfect Recipes for Having People Over. * Copyright 2004 USA WEEKEND and columnist Pam Anderson.

Bangor Maine Either Best Buy or Toys R Us will be my starting point! Also will hit Kohls, Wal-mart, Target and others depending on the sales this year!

As a woman who was VERY pregnant on BF (had my dd on dec 14th that year) if someone had told me to go home or leave because I was pregnant I would have nicely asked them to leave since they were an @ss! That was the year my oldest wanted a Furby and I had tried to get one and tried to get one and couldn't...well Wal-Mart had a small shipment that they were putting out that morning and NOTHING was going to keep me away! I had gotten in line at 2am in Maine...it was snowing and cold. When the doors opened I didn't even have to move I just got pushed along in the sea of people trying to get in and get a Furby! I did end up getting the darn Furby...of course my daughter played with it for a few weeks and it ended up under the bed never to be played with again! Now my biggest pet peeve is rude people who seem to think that there aren't going to be lines on BF!? a close second is the ones who show up and lurk off to the side and rush the doors when they open!
