Confused...doesn't anyone Perimeter Peruse any more?

Thank you!

HELP!!!! My son originally wanted an Xbox One, so that's what I got him...he just updated his FB about the PS4 exclusive rights to Street Fighter (one of his favorite games). Are there any deals? Is it too new to have deals? Help a mom out...please...

I consider the Walmart letter like a Christmas card! It's an annual tradition that marks the season...kind of sad we haven't seen it yet only for that reason.

DITTO!!!

As my list of who I buy for gets smaller, and those who are on my list are at that 'gift card and electronics' stage, I don't know if I'll bother either. I do like to people watch, so I may go out sometime FRIDAY to see what I can see, but I think I will do the bulk of my shopping online this year

Target and Game Stop I think...maybe Walmart Our Kmart is closing Dec 7, so they are out

YES!!!!! Wouldn't be the shopping season without it!

Harbor Freight Oct 10

I saw the cardboard display boxes that still had slippers in them, and a PILE of Garth Brooks box sets...really??? WHY do they insist on making this yearly item?? lolol I do envy those of you who are posting that the items were available later in the day/weekend/and now; things go very quickly here

Oh I think this one is my favorite!!!!! LMBO!!!!! Gosh...I can't even imagine! And Santa's response is classic!!!! My 15 year old has asked for a "box of meat" every year since he was 8. I have no idea why he started it, but he puts it on his list every year!!!! Not so unusual, but not as easy to find is my nephew's request: He is decorating his new bedroom in black, grey, and silver and wants an 'old Hollywood' theme. He wants posters and pictures of the Golden Age starlets, but finding them without paying an arm and leg is difficult. I found a pretty cool poster for only $9.99, but it was $10 to ship!! LOL ummm...ya, I'm not paying 100% shipping cost.

I miss the old way of getting up after a nap and going out before dawn. I did not shop on Thanksgiving but I did go out early Friday. I found most of the items gone and it was just as difficult parking, shopping, and walking. In short, for our area at least, the early times seemed to be accepted by the majority and people were STILL out shopping through the next day. I fear that because many stores are saying the early times were lucrative that it only means even earlier times next year. I fully agree with the above poster who stated Friday did not feel special anymore.

Probably because people will pay full price for them after the first big snow

YAY! Mine got here today!!

I hate the new times. Really, I hate them. BF shopping used to be like you were part of a secret club! Even though there were a limited number of items, there was some sort of camaraderie among shoppers. People were tired, but they smiled. Stores were busy, but they celebrated shoppers with giveaways, small treats, etc. Now everyone and anyone is out and about. People who have been up since before dawn to cook and prepare for dinner, haven't slept and are now trying to shop, babies and toddlers, roaming packs of teens with nothing to do, etc. Not that everyone doesn't have the right to be there, but when the BF times were around 5am, only those 'die-hards' were out and the traffic (both road and pedestrian) were a lot less. I agree with an above poster who said they did not see many smiles last year. I also like the idea of "taking back BF". I will NOT shop on Thanksgiving, but maybe I WILL set my alarm and head out around 4 or 5am. Of course I may not see everything I hope to, but it will be a good experiment and maybe, just maybe if enough people do it, the time stamps on the sales reports will show that people prefer it that way.
