I don't go at the crack of dawn anymore. Last year I went I got to our Walmart at 7AM and they still had all of the toys I wanted. So this year I went with my 6 year old daughter at 7AM and it was very pleasant. Not much different than a normal Saturday afternoon at a Walmart. We had a fun Mommy-Daughter shopping morning. We got a few toys for gifts and loaded up on the $2 & $6 DVDs. We then headed to Kohl's and got some a few more toys for gifts as well as our Church's Angel Tree donations. We also took a break to go out for breakfast at Perkins. We walked around Best Buy for a while, picked up a Panera gift card for the teacher and then left a little after 11AM. But then I got home only to read this article! "Strong-arm robbery reported at Delafield Target": http://www.jsonline.com/news/35219914.html YIKES! That's all in the same shopping area where we were shopping all morning!

I'm looking forward to the Kohl's ad. I've got my 15% off coupon to use that day there. They always seem to have the best deals!

I sent my "expression of displeasure" via their feedback form. I suggested that perhaps I shop at Target instead.

I just got back from doing some basic shopping at WM tonight and they had everything boxed up in pre-printed boxes that said "Return for Credit" - TONS of Pallets of these boxes were EVERYWHERE. If these boxes were pre-printed, then they KNEW they were going to have left overs.

I remember my Wal Mart last year had a bunch of the doorbusters left - even at 8PM. I think they just over-buy.

Is it Eastern - 5AM? Or something else. I can't find it. Their site says they are in CA (Pacific time), but their customer service number is Central time. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/catalog.gsp?cat=542416

Disney Movies go back in the "vault" after a certain time. Only one major animated movie is out for release at any given time like Cinderella, Little Mermaid and Alladin. I'm a Disney Movie Club member and they don't even have them (the major animated ones) available. Your best bet is Ebay. You will most likely have to pay a premium for them, not a discount -- sorry. :)

Got mine today too! However, I just saw on TV that kohl's is having a big 50% off sale tomorrow! Might want to check it out again --- sigh...Kohl's has ALOT of my money right now! :)

I'm pretty sure the ones at WM were the plain leapsters, I remember seeing them on clearance a while back. The one I got at Kohl's was the L-Max. I picked it up yesterday and used my 20% off coupon. There were only 3 left - well 2 now that I got one :) Then on BF it's $69.99 without coupons. Still a good deal!

Got it - it's in hand now. Lucky me there were only 3 left. --- Good bargains to be had at Kohls through tomorrow with their "kohl's card user discount."

Pays to do your research: I just called my local Kohl's. They have it in stock and it's on sale TODAY. I'm bringing in my (hard piece of paper) coupon for 20%, (crossing my fingers for the 30% off scratch off) and geting it for $64 TODAY!

Oh yes that 30% off coupon is REALLY a steal! There are some things though that will be better on BF with the 10% off coupon, so I'm glad I have one more day with taht 30% off coupon to plan.

RE: Leapster L-MAX on the kohls.com website, I haven't seen it yet. Right now I have a 30% off online coupon, but haven't seen the L-Max or any leapster for that matter. I've never seen it lower than $80 in any store. Plus I have my 10% off coupon so the total price will be only $63 on BF at Kohls. Have you seen it less than $63? Do tell.

I've been WAITING to see the L-Max on sale on BF. Kohl's will be my first stop. Do you think I need to be there at 5AM for the L-Max?

This code was AWESOME. I saved $95 last night! There are so many things on sale already and then another 30% - it's great!

I did last year at Kohl's - I had to bring my daughter (who was three at the time) with me. The people at Kohl's are always so nice. When someone at the check out, saw I had my daughter with me when I entered she let me have her cart. Now it was quite the site to see my daughter riding in the cart holding a griddle and a Nesco roaster hanging off the back!

I'm not an MVC member so I don't get those 15% off coupons. But I called up the credit card customer service yesterday and asked if they'll be sending out any of those 10% off coupons before Thanksgiving. She didn't know, but she was nice and say "I'll just send you one out." Just a tip - maybe you'll get a nice operator and get a free coupon.

I set aside about $200. But I did a Discovery Toys party earlier in the year and got a bunch of stuff for free and 1/2 price. Also, I've picked up things along the way and I really shouldn't buy my DD3 any more stuff. So I only spent $145 -- but the retail value is probably more like $300.

I don't know if my WM is still open but they still had MANY things - Care Bears, Cabbage Patch, Bikes, TVs, DVD Pop Culture Game, Barbies, Cinderella Costumes, Video Now, Sleeping Bags, Garth CDs... Burke, VA Walmart...

All the BF items are ringing up at the 5-11AM Prices at my Walmart in Burke, VA at 8PM. EVERYTHING....the only thing they didn't have were the hot-item-electronics. Just a note - if you wanted to check it out!

I just went to Kohl's: Got: Carlton Card Ornaments for Teachers - 4 of them about $11 each. It wasn't an early bird special, but I figured the "good ones" would sell out fast. 2 Women's Robes - $19.99 1 Man's Robe - $25.00 3 Men's Lounge Pants - $7.99 Each Rival Slow Cooker/3 Divided Sections - $29.99 Griddle - $14.99 Quesadilla Maker - $14.99 Game Tins -

Yeah to Kohl's! I couldn't get out super early for anything today, but I went to Kohl's to pick up my requisite small appliances for Mom, Sis, etc... I had to take my DD(3) (I was not exactly sure I wanted to do that). But I simply waited for my stroller shopping cart and a lady was nice enough to give it to me when she was done. The aisles were not crowded with merchandise, it was easy to maneuver with the cart and I got alot of creative gifts - Like the Price is Right DVD Game (How fun!). Then there was a SUPER long line at the check out. But it went FAST. The manager directet traffic and I was out of the line in less than FIVE MINUTES! To top it off now I have another $50 to spend there next week with the Kohl's "Cash"

What I don't understand is why people would not just give up and go buy the Dell laptop --- especially if they know about this forum, they should know the deals out there! :)

Good grief! My dad is a former Fire Marshal --- I wonder what he thinks about all this mess. It seems so dangerous to have all the stuff stacked up in the aisles. They'd be better off setting up a tent outiside! Or in the Garden Dept at least!
