We don't have kids, so this is definitely not a parent's standpoint. Basically the only thing that could keep me from shopping on BF is I'm on my deathbed or a death (or serious accident) in my family. Last year, when I went out shopping on BF, I was feeling ill, and I still bundled up and went. I found out later that day that I had food poisoning.

Like most of the people on this site, I don't feel bad about seeing the ads early. I can't wait to see the ads for this year. All the excitement is just killing me. LOL

I live about a block away from a KMart so I'm normally there often including on Thanksgiving Day.

I don't have a budget for BF. I buy whatever I want. To me, BF is all about having fun and shopping till I drop.

I'm normally out of the house by 3:30 am and at the first store by 4 am. I shop until around noon, come home and nap for a couple of hours, then I'm out shopping again. But I'm a shopaholic .

Mondays or Thursdays would work best for me, but basically I could still make it any night but Friday.

I am not a fan of Walmart, but I let my hubby persuade me to go there last year on BF. My problem wasn't just that everything was in covered pallets unmarked. The employees there had no clue where anything was. My hubby went to Electronics to look for a DVD player that was in the BF ad. The employee in Electronics told him to go to Housewares. At Housewares, he was told that they were in Electronics, so he went back to Electronics and asked another employee about the DVD players. That employee sent him somewhere else in the store. After looking for 30 minutes or so and talking to countless employees, he finally found them in the grocery section.
