LOL. I would love to get many of the things that I buy for others on BF!!

I like Menards. They have some great doorbusters. The last 2 years my local Menards had longer checkout lines than any other store I was at including Best Buy.

If someone pushes or shoves me, I definitely shove back. I wouldn't get into a brawl, though.

You can buy a newer model Compaq direct from them for the same price (AR). They are at www.hpshopping.com. Specs appear to be slightly different, but it also comes with a free AIO printer. (This one doesn't have the brightview screen and has a 60GB hard drive instead of 80)Link

Not in lines long enough to be a problem. I'll go between waiting in different lines.

I got the flyer in the mail and my Sunday paper. I don't have a scanner, though. Anything in particular you looking for??

Best Buy and Menard's

I went there a couple years ago on BF at about 11am. There were like 3 other people in the whole store other than myself. Sam's Club is not a popular destination on BF.

No saving for me. I just pull out those credit cards!

The layaway policy won't effect my decision of shopping at WM.

Just a quick bowl of cold cereal (Fruit Loops!), and out the door for me!

Nice job! I look forward to seeing the 2006 chart!

My family used to think I was nuts, but last year my wife and younger daughter joined me in the BB line. My relatives think I'm crazy, but then they're jealous to hear what I bought at the prices I bought them for.

Interesting idea, but no. We tend to get our furniture either during other sales or while on clearance.

Sears usually has big appliance sales between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Good luck!

Typically, my top 4 targets are Best Buy, Office Max, Kohl's and Menards (local poor-man's Home Depot). By far, the least craziness is at Office Max!!

Does Dell do special sales around BF? I'm usually not PC shopping at that time, but I may this year. One of their 10 Days of Specials would be nice around that time. I wouldn't be in the market for one of those low end BF specials that sell out in 10 seconds, so Dell or HP online might be my best bet. Ross or someone who follows Dell closely -- any predictions??

Jeans and a sweatshirt. I usually have to wear a heavy jacket standing in line, but then it becomes a problem inside the "hot" stores. If I don't wear it in the stores, I have to hold on to it and it becomes a PITA while I shop.

One car load for me (unless I get the large screen LCD TV I want). I have an extended size Trailblazer that can hold a lot. If I need more space, I live less than one mile from where I'll shop, so dropping a load off will be no problem. :)

Christmas bonus? What's that??

Probably going to my BIL's house 4 miles away. My wife will probably make a couple cheesecakes for dessert. She makes awesome cheescakes.

Try calling the number above. The mailer that I receivced says nothing about a JCPenney charge card.

Shop jcp.com and check "yes" under "discounts", then enter PRIVMC in the "promotional code" box during checkout for $10 savings off any ONE merchandise purchase of $10 or more on regular, sale or clearance items when you use your MasterCard card. There are some item limitations. For phone orders at 800-222-6161 ask for code PRIVMC. Valid 9/17 - 9/27.

What a nightmare! I guess that appetizer wasn't "free" after all. I had a very similar experience at a Cheescake Factory a few years ago on my daughter's birthday. I just "love" when the wait staff blames delays on someone else!

A local coffee shop gave away coffee in front of our Best Buy last year. Of course at 16 degrees, that coffee got cold real fast. In fact, people were spilling it in front of the door, so there were some very slick spots near the Best Buy entrance that morning.
