Coffee makers since they always die in July when no one has a sale.

I resupply my stash of coffee makers so I never have to pay full price when one dies in July.

Syracuse, NY

Pillows and throws from Kohls but also at least one coffee maker. That way when ours dies I never have to replace it at retail price.

I am not sure how your family does Walmart but we usually have a divide and conquer approach. When you split up the list maybe she could take some of the items that either have dedicated lines/tickets or are less likely to be mobbed.

I always hit the small appliance sales so I have a spare in the closet when something invariably dies in July. This year I will be on the hunt for a new freezer since I somehow bought half a cow last night.

They are illegal in New York according to the news today.

Cold and snow as usual for us. Better than rain.

More Infinity accessories for all of them. Even the grown ones love it. Probably more running stuff for the 9 year old and maybe a new Ipod. The 17 year old just wants cash for his winter break trip. The 13 year old I have no clue at this point.

Accuweather is predicting a high of 55 and low of 36 for both days in Syracuse. Might see some rain on Friday. Not bad at all, it could be snowing sideways

Definitely look for some of the crank flashlights as well. Batteries can die quick especially if you have smaller kids.

Spending time with my older kids as we shop and meeting all sorts of new people.

Officially all holiday dinners are at 2 pm. Of course that is the target time and we usually sit down about 3.

The craziest had to be the year some old guy tried to bite my 18 year old son's arm as he was reaching for a portable DVD player.

Coffee makers. Dh always screams about it but at least then he drowns another one I don't have to go out and pay retail.

My older kids started going at around 12 years old but that was before it got so crazy. My 16 year old is only allowed to go now because he is built like a sherman tank and can hold his own. I may take the 12 year old on Thanksgiving morning since that is still pretty quiet where we live. My 8 year old will be safe at home.

Thanks Brad!

Ditto what Mistygirl and Katiemill said. Thanks to Brad and all the other moderators for making Gottadeal the awesome resource it is.

It's predicting 40 degrees with rain and ice on that Wednesday for me. I'm thinking it will be cold & yucky here.

Here's mine: True Value 2 Sling Recliner Lounge Chairs with Steel Frame $39.99 each then over to Lowe's for Char-Griller Duo Gas and Charcoal Grill $199.00 30" Steel Firepit $39.00 then off to Sears for Sony Bloggie HD Pocket Camcorder $109.99 DieHard Wheeled Battery Charger / Engine Starter $69.99 Total spent $497.96 leaving me 2.04 to hit Tim Horton's for hot chocolate on the way home

We would go as the Spanish Inquisition because nobody expects it and we would easily scoop up all the doorbusters.

I ordered the Teacup Piggies from Sam's on Monday. It looks like the single pigs are out of stock but they still have one of the playsets available.

Another really simple one is Peanut Butter Cups. Roll refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough (think Pillsbury) into 1" balls and place in greased mini muffin pan. Press a miniature peanut butter cup into each ball. Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes. Yummy and people will think you slaved over them.
