I Hide my things at friends houses and last year i had to pick up my stuff from my friends house 2 days before Xmas..it was SOOOOOOOO much stuff..didn't realize i had bought so much until i went to her house to get it all....I put it in my closet and threw a sheet over it...my kids went in and looked under the sheet and all I heard was ohhh....WOW...toys...i was devestated...i came running out of the kitchen and told them to leave..i told them that i have to meet Santa to pick their stuff up b/c they were getting so much stuff b/c they were good kids and he needed me to keep some at the house and he would bring the rest on Xmas eve...it worked...but that still did not keep them from trying to go in my room for the next 2 days...they would find every excuse in the world...kids are very sneaky:D

Disney cash register is 50% off at TRU for their 2 day sale. I was in the store earlier today and they had about 10..I believe they are 16.99. Excellent deal.

I would absolutely get the dump truck now...if it goes on sale you can always return it and its a hot item this year. I saw them in TRU today for 59.99. They had a stack but technically the Xmas shopping has just begun..you may be able to wait for BF but if this is a must have item I would buy it now and then if it does go on sale return it and buy it cheaper. I do this every year. Hot items you must grab while the getting is good....Now.

I have never taken my kids out shopping on BF.....BUT that is only b/c i have been blessed to have someone to watch them and have not had to take them with me. HOWEVER if I had to choose between taking my kids with me to be able to afford for my kids to have a decent Xmas or caring about whether people have an opinion about me having my children in line......NO Big Choice there...so I have learned to never JUDGE anybody b/c you never know what is going on with them or their family..

I would have to say Target, TRU & Walmart....Heck anyplace that has a deal....I am not being too picky right now..I NEED deals..in the worse way..My DD6 is dying for a Barbie House and they are averaging $100 and a Nintendo DS and Moxie Dolls...and..and...and.. And that doesn't even cover my DS9--Gonna need to pull some tricks out the bag... I also love the TRU adds they run daily in the month of December..I have picked up some EXCELLENT deals over the past 2 years. I work with a lot of women and we all take a day and go over to get everyone's order. I usually go myself to make sure I get my stuff. I pulled up this web site today at like 630 this morning at work and this lady starting laughing saying are you looking at Black Friday ads already...i said ..more like begging for some..nothing posted..and she laughed at me and then said...well it is Oct 19th and technically in about 10 days Xmas shopping will be on...I said yes trust me...she just smiled and said keep me posted....:) Come on ads...

2 nintendo DS's for DS9 and DD6--Son already has a Wii and he is so addicted I need something to ease his mind off it...and books only work so much :) and a LCD at least 32" for me and a new digital camera w/ at least 10MP for a good deal and anything else that is a good deal -I am a addictive bargain shopper.

I would def say the main reason is the savings...but the rush of this tradition is one that is hard to compare to anything. And I HATE COLD weather but this is one day that I don't really complain about the weather. The rush is so grand that I get heated by the sheer idea of it. I Love Black Friday...especially when i can get all the deals I want. I spend weeks preparing for my expedition and I enjoy every minute.

Durham NC

1--I need 2 nintendo ds's--not dsi's-I am hoping to get these for around $100 each...Target ran them a couple of weeks ago for $99 and since the dsi's are new I am hoping for a deal on the regular ones 2--32" LCD for me 3--new digital camera...The one I have is not functioning properly anymore:gdangry4: 4--Regular TV for my 6 year DD 5--Clothes for DS & DD Come on Black Friday

I would love to get the $200 desktop...doubt if I get it...but it feels good to dream sometimes..other than that...just some Mini DV tapes for my camcorder, a Pink 2GB MP3 player for my 4 year old...i found some perfect pink and white head phones that blink today to match them so I hope to get one...some DVD's. I am hoping that Wal-mart has the Nintendo DS for a better price so since my Wal-mart and Best Buy literally share parking lots I don't have to drive again just park and walk and then I can hit Office Max b/c they also share the parking lot. Can't really decide until I see Wal-mart and Toys R Us's ad....I am ready to shop...can believe we only have like a week and a half.... :) :yup:

Not really impressed with Target so I personally am awaiting Walmarts ad to see the deals. Even though I am pisted about the legal threat if the deals are good....I'll be there.... Bring on the ad.................

THANKS....I just LOVE deals.... :o This is my first online purchase from Kohl's as well...If I need to return something can I just take it to the store? I appreciate the tip...Thanks again!!!!

Wrapping???....Pretty Paper....When I have time...I work for a insurance company and the 4th quarter is our busiest time of the year and luckily they offered a concierge(sp) service that would wrap 3 gifts a day for us so thank god for that or I would not have had any gifts wrapped last year....and I am sure this year will be pretty much the same thing.

This week 10/7-10/13 They have all of the Leap Pad Books at B1G1F. They are all already on sale for 9.99--Therefore I got 4 of the Leap Pad Books for $20 and they are normally $15 each. The leap pad read and write system is also 19.99 this week.

Just depends on the deals.....I will have around 700-900 dollars to spends from Xmas club account and overtime worked. I would love to spend it on some great deals but if not I will just hold it and wait until I come across some deals after BF. I have bought a few items over the past few months so I am watching deals now as well...so I really hope to just be able to pick up last minute things on BF. I won't buy the PSP now....Hoping for a good deal on BF!!!!

Just depends on the sales this year. Since Wal-Mart has done away with layaway I expect them to have a GREAT ad to make up for all the money they are missing out on by not offering layaway anymore. They may surprise me but I hope not. I am betting on Best Buy and Walmart and maybe Target offering the best deals. I am hoping that someone has a PSP bundle on sale for a great deal.......PLEASE:razz:

Racerfan---Is the PSP for $199... :confused: just for the system or does that come with some extras? I know BB has a deal this weak for the system, 3 games, a movie and a memory stick for $249. So if this is just $199 for the system only I will pass..... :confused:

I actually asked the cashier at the BB I was in located in Durham NC and she only responded that "Well we have been here since 4 and"....she left it at that ...so I took that as a yes....I assumed if they were scheduled to work that morning they must have given them first dibs on the goods. :confused:

I hope to either get the Panasonic GS39 for 159.99 or the Samsung for 129.99 at BB. Great deals!!!!! I am getting sooooooo excited!!!! :gdclap: :gdnum1:

I called to the Wal-Mart in Durham NC this morning and they said as long as you have the actual ad they will price match on black friday...not sure about Circuit City though...but since most of the stuff I want if I miss it at CC or BB I will just go over to Wal-Mart and have them to price match it...... :yup: :yup:

DEF....BEST BUY...The camcorder and the blue tooth headset are just some little things that Santa is gonna bring me...
