[Easiest Contest Ever! Win 1 of 20 Black Friday T-Shirts [Winners Posted!]]

I love the day before, going through the ads, figuring out my game plan and route than the execution. Something about being in a swarm of people and all their excitement just gives me a natural high. Love it!

[BestBuy.com Black Friday Sale [Sale Started]]

Ipod Touch is still in process, ordered at 6:30am EST, Harry Potter 8 in 1 DVD pack is backordered. HP wasn't ordered until much later. Bought all but the last one seperately at Kmart than saw this promotion. Not going to return the individual ones until I'm sure this will be coming, and than I might just give to someone else instead.

[BestBuy.com Black Friday Sale [Sale Started]]

Bought the ipod touch with $50 gc from the luxury of my bed. Have been trying in 1/2 hour increments for HOURS! Woohoo!!

[What time are the Thursday deals at Best Buy online?]

Just bought the ipod touch with $50 gc online! Woohoo! That was not an item I wanted to stand in line for, because, well, I love Black Friday, but I would have had to get in line soooo early for that one. Kudos for those that can do that though.

[Official One-and-Only "What I Got" / "My Experience" Thread]

How should I put this my shopping experiece SUCKED!!!!!It started off great got everything thing i went TRU for then headed to ON got in line 3 person, got everything i wanted in and out in 15 mins. Walked over the Disney store picked up the few things i needed there and then headed to Target by 1:15..Was about 25 in the line...My son calls around 1:45 and asks me can I bring you coffee and of course I said yes..So around 2:10 he shows up with the coffee, I walk over to my car to get my chairs to find my door wide open and everything that i just bought stolen right out of my car.My purse was also in my car under the front seat they got that too. My GPS was in there..Thankfully none of my CC or money, I had all of that in my inside pocket., but my DL and my wallet is gone.I come running back over to where I was in line to ask the women behind me( she works for Targets Corporate office in Min, she was here visiting) who is in charge of security, and she points him out and i tell him what happened, he is very helpful, calls the police and they come and to make this long story short. they wont take a report because they said that i probably didnt close the door all the way and the person who did this just walked up and opened the door...So target tells me they have cameras all over and I tell the cop this, and says with all do respect this a shopping parking lot most of them are broken and the picture sucks...So i tellt he nice guy i was talking to and he goes back up to the cop, to make him fill out a report and he will not do..so im waiting for target to view the tapes to see what they can see..

I am ticked off for you! That really does suck. And the lazy cop should be reported! I hope that the cameras got a good pic of the jerk. Got to love our tax dollars at work.

[Did you do anything nice for a fellow shopper (or see someone do a nice thing)?]

We were in line at Target and I went looking for a cart since the line looped throughout the store. Couldn't find one, but did find a carrier. When I found my dd, the woman behind us in line had put our bulky fire bowl under her cart so we wouldn't have to push it through the line. She also gave me something for my heartburn.

 

At Toys R Us a happened to see a woman drop her drivers license while hurrying off. Got it and ran after her. If I hadn't seen that I'm sure they would have found it years later kicked under a shelf somewhere.

[What store will you no way/no how shop at on Black Friday??]

I will not even step foot into Best Buy until all my other shopping is done and I still want something that they have in stock for cheap that isn't online. Their checkout lines are nuts!

[Nook vs. Kindle Thread]

Oops! The headache I had today must have put me in overdrive. I got a free library card not a phone. Sorry about the mix up!

[Nook vs. Kindle Thread]

:gdthums:Thanks to the posters re libraries. I just ordered my free phone from Philadelphia, being a PA resident. I also checked more into my local library and after playing around for a bit I found that Bucks County Free Libraries have a lot of offerings too. I just didn't have the patience :eyepoppinbefore, but with my Nook ordered and on the way and everyone getting me all excited about the libraries, I decided to suck it up and check it out. So glad I did. I even got my coworkers all excited about it.

[** GameStop Black Friday Ad Posted **]

Once again GameStop is disappointing. Might go if the one by ToysRUs opens earlier like they did last year. Otherwise a big FAIL. Regular prices on a lot of items. Buying my games elsewhere. Lines also take sooooo long at GameStop. Only stayed in line last year because I was already done at ToysRUs and the husband was home asleep so he wasn't waiting up for me.

[Nook vs. Kindle Thread]

Does anyone know if buy.com takes debit card? I don't have a credit card, but do have a check card.

Yes, they do. I also don't have a cc just a debit.

[What city will you be shopping in this year?]

Quakertown, PA...Lansdale, PA...Montgomeryville, PA

[Nook vs. Kindle Thread]

I just ordered the Nook speeddiva posted on the on-line deals forum ($99 refurb at buy.com).

After reading everyone's thoughts on Nook vs. Kindle,I think the Nook will better suit my husband.

It's will be a big surprise though because I told him I couldn't afford to buy him one this year!

Thanks to all the insight on the board and to HansieDZ post on buying from buy.com, I have just put my order through for a refurb Nook 3G/WiFi for $119. Thanks everyone!

[$25 iTunes cards for $20 at Michaels this week]

Thanks! I will still try to get on at Target on BF (hoping it will count towards the $100 to get a $10 GC), but this is a great back-up plan incase Target sells out. I can't read the fine print in the online ad. Does it say anything about limited quantities or "while supplies last"? I know it's not likely, but is there any chance any Michael's coupons work on these?

Target had this last year too and it counted towards the $100. It was a pain to locate in the store though.

[Gamestop will open at midnight on BF]

Not all of them will. My cashier said he wishes they were opening @ midnight, but his is opening at 5 a.m. so ymmv.

Last year the Gamestop I went to right after midnight wasn't originally supposed to open until 5/6am but it was changed either earlier that day or the day before. They got a lot of walk in traffic from the store next to them that had opened at midnight.

[Walmart Ad - Being Printed In Our Area / CNN Story]

Our Walmart has just started being remodeled into a Super Walmart. Half our parking is gone along with part of the store itself. Not looking forward to the Scavenger Hunt on BF. But that won't stop me from shopping!

[Overall opinion of Black Friday ads leaked so far?]

So far I'm so/so about the ads. Still waiting on some stores before I can give a definite thumbs up or down. Target has a good ad. Toys R Us has some good deals, but not looking forward to the crowd. I usually don't go there because of the chaos in that store. The customers are usually great, it's the way the store does there lines that really stinks. You can't go directly from point A to point B anywhere on that day. If I do go on Thursday that might be a help since I don't have to worry about what I'd be missing at the other stores while standing in line.

[What was your kids favorite gift this year?]

DD16 Liked it all...DS, camera, clothes

DD11 #1(twins) Between her snow globe amd jewelry box

DD11 #2 Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun

 

DH Dell laptop

[Best IPOD Touch deal]

I don't know of a current deal but Target occasionally offers free gift card with purchase. Also, check on Apple website if you don't mind a refurbished one.

[Buy.com orders getting cancelled]

So far all is well with my order. Have the tracking # for FedEx.

[The Day After Black Friday (Saturday)]

I was in Walmart Sat night and they still had a few deals from BF on the floor with the BF price.

[>>> Official Black Friday DIGITAL PHOTO FRAME Discussion Thread <<<]

I would like to get one for my husband. He works in NY and we live in PA, so he only comes home on his weekends. I'd like to surprise him with some family pics, and we can update it.

[What would you sacrifice to shop on BF?]

I sacrifice sleep. Luckily I asked for Black Friday off back in January, so I knew that I was going to get it off. There are only 4 of us where I work, and if one of the ladies can take the entire week of Christmas off I sure the heck could take BF off! I use it as my Personal Day, which comes out of my sick leave anyway. If I didn't have the day off, I would still go, but everyone at work would be sacrificing their sanity because I'd be an overtired, cranky, moody woman.

[After shopping rituals]

watch Christmas movies (Polar Express for my nephew last year, and always Christma Vacation),:)

We usually watch The Christmas Story on Thanksgiving getting us ready for Christmas. We started a Christmas tradition a few years ago where we open presents, go out to eat at the Chinese Buffet than see a movie. Some people look at us weird, but I can't say how much more I enjoy the day since the stress is off of me to cook and clean up.
