Got to Best Buy at 4:45 and they were already letting people in because the line was so long. Got the 19" LCD Monitor for $169 after rebate. Check out only took about 20 minutes.
Next was Toys R Us for Dress and Dance Dora the Explorer. Not much of a crowd there, no lines at checkout.
Finally to Home Depot. Got the Ryobi 18 Volt cordless drill and flashlight combo for $30 (regularly $100)
