  1. Well, Homers got my business this year.  Their deal on the batteries spanked Lowes.  Also, they had a nice Genie 3/4 horse belt drive garage door opener for about 5 bucks more than Lowes 1/2 horse chain drive.  Saved enough to finally buy the extension track so that it can open all the way, and added in a the keypad for outside the door.  And paid to have them install it (my back couldn't handle it).  Add in a $50 Visa gift card I had, and military discount, and walked out for $174.

  2. I changed my strategy this year and it seemed to work out pretty good.  When the ad was initially put up online, I added the items I wanted (using the links in the ad) to a list labeled Black Friday.  I kept refreshing the page as the ad came online, and the prices updated.  As they did, I put them in my cart and checked out.  I got everything I wanted except for the griddle.

     

     

    i think this works better then pre-loading your cart, as sometimes the BF items have a special SKU, even if they're the exact same item that's normally stocked.

  3. I think I'm getting my kitty litter here this year. I'm unhappy with the price hike at petsmart. Anyone else?

     

    IDK...it seems that nobody really has any good pricing on kitty litter this year.  I used to buy 15-16 buckets (have 3 cats) and that would get us through the year.  Not sure that any of it is is worth the bother this year.

  4. Last year I ordered online on Black Friday and that was a mess. Half the stuff I ordered was not there for me when I went to pick it up. The manager I talked with said their system crashed the morning of Black Friday. ‍♀ Hopefully this year goes better.

    Same experience here.  The manager was very accommodating though.  Even though he couldn't access my online order, he filled my 16 buckets of Tidy Cat from store stock, and then when I got home, called and cancelled the online order.

  5. The website sucked.  Took forever to search and get things into my cart, and then when I tried to check out, I got a 501 error.  When I went back and tried to again, it had dumped my cart and had to start all over.  Tried a total of 3 times, and after wasting over a half hour, said screw it and went to bed.  Got up at 3AM to go get in line for a phone, and tried again before I left the house, and managed to get everything I wanted except for 2 of the gift cards.

  6. Hmmm... Will need to do a price compare between this litter deal and Meijer. Plus Meijer's offering the lightweight and I don't see that (unless I'm blind) in the PetSmart ad this time. 

     

    It says ALL.  When I went last year it said the same thing.  It didn't ring up that way, but I walked out with 16 buckets of the lightweight for that price.

  7. A local store had Friskies 4/$1, I bought 288 cans.  Still have a little over half left. 

    But with 5 cats, I will buy 100 cans and probably 2 pails, so It will cost about a dollar more this year.

     

    Heck...I've got 3 cats, and we go through a bucket of litter about every 3 weeks or so.
