I agree. This has been my go-to-site for years and I can't believe the lack of posts this year. Oh well, off to DC area stores later this week to try and score. Lots of stores to choose from but I hit a home run in Reston VA last Christmas. :-)

Way late posting here but I stumbled upon 90% off last week in Reston VA. They had tons of leftovers. I scored on the following: wrapping paper, bags, tissue paper, ribbon, red stuffing oreos, white chocolate covered oreos, caramel popcorn, pajamas, lights, and last but not least, that cool teddy bear that I refused to pay $25 for. My patience paid off when I walked out of the store with one after paying $2.50, plus 5% off for using my red card. I should have bought more of the bears to sell later on Craigslist or Ebay. Best score in years!

I noticed that nobody answered. In all but one store in my area, its moving well enough at 70% that I don't think they will have to drop it to 90%. I was reading articles online about how that venture failed and I have to admit that I only saw the first store display a few days ago and that store had just about every item left for sale. Since then, I've seen only a few items in the other store such as the dog bowls, fancy dresses, and furry hats. I'm going to keep looking at this forum and both the Target and Neiman Marcus websites to see if they will dare to drop to 90%.

Target in Bowie MD closest to the beltway (20 minutes from Alexandria VA/NOVA) is 75% off of Christmas, 50% of candy, 0% off the Christmas-wrapped sparkling grape juice that I had in my cart but returned because no discuount.

One way to get target coupons is from the target website at the following link: http://sites.target.com/site/en/supertarget/page.jsp?title=coupons_specials&ref=sc_iw_l_1_0

In for two even though they are on backorder. I hope that folks return here and tell what they got.

Anybody check out any Washington DC area stores yet today? NOVA stores were 75% yesterday.

I bought the Olevia Black 37" LCD HDTV w/ ATSC Tuner Inside Model 237V from newegg.com last year as a Black Friday deal and absolutely love it. Newegg.com customers are good at leaving feedback on their Olevia purchases and they are overwhelmingly positive. I would use these as a reference rather than circuit city manager "hearsay".

Totally agree. The other big money maker is gift cards that folks either lose, don't use, or let expire.

I'm local and I'll be looking for you!

I don't really need anything on BF but as a non-smoker/non-drinker, shopping on BF and trying to score PS3's, Xbox 360's, etc just give me a helluva buzz.

I stopped by the Andrews AFB BX this afternoon and their Sabre products were being pulled out of the box for their Black Friday display. There is a URL on the back of the 42" monitor for the company which is http://sabrece.com. There's no indication who is the real manufacturer but this looks to be the new "electronics house brand" for AAFES. The tag on the back of the monitor also says "Made In Korea".

The Springfield Best Buy is by far the most popular one around. You may want to start waiting right after Thanksgiving dinner. If you want less competition, go up to Baily's Crossroads. The lines are much shorter and the management comes out from time to time to take the names of folks in line and make sure that they stay there. You could start there shortly after midnight.
