Thanks. I've looked over those but was hoping the rest would have been listed (by them) by now.

Has anyone heard what the "doorbusters" are going to be? They seem to have kept their sale very quiet this year.

Thank you so much!!!

I'm looking for an inexpensive desktop for my kids. I would love if I could find it before Black Friday.

Which page did you see this on? Great deal. steph

I go to the first store (Military BX) by myself. I get in line around 2 am. By the time the store opens and I'm through the line it's around 630-700 am. My dh picks me up with the kids and we head into town for the rest of our shopping. My kids this year will be 8, 5, and 4. They are all early risers (think 5 am ). DH gets up with them, feeds them and makes sure they are dressed and ready to go when I call home. We live in S. CA so it's not really cold at that point in time. Also with both of us there and the initial store madness over, we've never had any issues with crowds and/or the kids behavior. steph

2 years ago when I got to line there were 3 guys in the front of the line with their flat panel TV and XBOX 360 playing a Madden football game. They were absolutely prepared for the long wait. I've been going out of Black Friday for 6 years and every year I feel I'm more prepared than the year before. I credit this site for that as well as its members who share their experiences, techniques, etc with everyone. Steph

Thank you so much. My girls will love these. steph

My guess is Ace Hardware on September 14th.

I'm looking for a new digital camera for me (I'm giving my oldest daughter my camera). Also dd ruined her ds earlier this year so I'm hoping that they are greatly discounted with the new dsi out this holiday season. She's saving her $ to buy it but I want to make sure she gets the best deal I can find. I'm looking for the rest of the Sex and the City DVD seasons that I don't have. They're usually priced well after Thanksgiving. For my youngest I want to get him a Leapster. For my youngest daughter I already have a ds for her (bought it before oldest broke hers) so I'll be looking for games and accessories for her. No idea what I'm going to get for dh at this point. steph

My local Wal-Mart had a pallet of them at the back of the store plus they filled an end cap filled with them as well.

In years past BB has offered double and/or triple Reward Zone points. Anyone have any inside information as to if they're going to offer it this year on Friday? I'm going to make a big purchase (not on sale on BF) and I'm wondering if I should wait until Friday just in case they offer more points. steph

For the past several years AAFES (Military BX/PX) gives away $20 gift cards to the first 100 people in line. They have done this on the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday after Thanksgiving. steph

My Bx price matches all of the local stores. Last year I got 2 gameboy advance micros for $35 each (and of course no tax). I agree about the lack of deals. I'm debating about going elsewhere first this year, $20 is nice though so I'm not certain yet. steph

You could always get one of those cellphone company cards for the notebook. I have one through ATT and as long as I get cellphone service I have internet access. The best part is that I can still have my internet security as well.

I e-mailed them as well. I hope they change their minds with this. I'll be shopping elsewhere if they do not change this. steph

Just wanted to respond. Wal-Mart price matches on BF. It cuts down on the time of shopping at all of the stores. You just have to have the advertisement. Stephanie

I know exactly what you mean. But for me the military tells me where to go and I go. California is insane but not the same insanity that's in NJ. Happy Thanksgiving. stephanie

Can I just say, you all are making me home sick. I grew up in Westfield. I still can't get over how much 22 has been built up everytime I'm home. Now I'm in California and am missing NJ a lot. Hope you all have the best of luck on BF. stephanie

A portable dvd player. That's it for now. Not really sure what my kids want this year.
