  1. This is going to make for good entertainment. The little shopping area directly West of us has a SuperWalmart on the north side of the road, an Office Max south of it, a Target across the highway, and a gas station that is certain to make a mint on caffeinated beverages directly in-between.... Me.... I shall be at Menards!
  2. Is it too vague to say "lack of common courtesy" - the things I've seen people do to save $10 on a toy/item that will be discarded by the middle of January. Somebody touched on it earlier in the thread - the philosophy has changed, crowds are more rude, almost angry, in their pursuit of their targets now.
  3. Dilworth, MN:

     

    Thursday Night: A slight chance of snow before midnight, then a chance for flurries. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 20. Northwest wind between 9 and 15 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

     

    Friday: Partly sunny, with a high near 32. Northwest wind 7 to 9 mph becoming southwest.

     

     

    I say CRAP, if it's going to be that warm, we'll have a bunch of people to contend with.

  4. If we've not had much snow - I'm guessing it'll be the Grand Caravan (minivan) if we've had snow, then it's the 1976 Jeep Cherokee Wagoneer.... comes in very handy for parking in snowbanks (and exiting them) and if somebody hits me in the parking lot, she won't feel a thing.
  5. According to Accuweather.com we're looking at a high of 37 for the day, which would make the 5am temp around 18 or so, with their "reel feel" at 11 degrees. if it gets up to 37 that day, it'll be a madhouse around here, people everywhere enjoying the balmy late November temps.
  6. One other thing - at Menards, they stock their doorbusters and the like quite early - just look up higher on the racks and you'll see the pallets and the tell-tale marker writing telling you what's in the pallets.
  7. Menards is very good to go - I'm there often enough for other projects that the folks working the week prior to BF will say, "if you're looking for this on Friday, check here" - really helpful folks.
  8. Well Minnesota = flippen cold...I'm so use to it that I don't mind it. I just hope that morning it doesn't snow cuz it really sucks driving in snow. The last couple years there really hasn't been a whole lot of it on the ground on BF...

    Not sure where in Minny you are - but I can agree, we've been 'relatively' snow free the last 2 black fridays, but, usually it's about 15 and cold, so you don't notice the lack of snow :yup:

  9. Hey all - Brad from the nether-regions of NW Minnesota here. I dig the finding deals (so the wife doesn't spend as much!!) but on Black Friday, I'm pretty much the muscle and the reach for the sought after items, 6'2" 215, with a freakish 7' wingspan comes in handy.
