1. In your opinion, what store had the best Black Friday ad last year (2008) and why? I didn't think there was really one fabulous ad for me last year as there was a few items from each ad that I wanted. But Walmart and Kohls usually take priority as a first stop since they price match and if you have the 15% for kohls MVP that is an extra bonus. 2. What would be your #1 piece of advice to someone totally new to Black Friday? divide and conquer go with friends. Also, don't forget the jewelry counters at least at kohls anyway. Go in grab a number to be waited on do your shopping and check out the items you want then treat yourself to an inexpensive piece of jewelry so you can pay for your many bargains you find on gottadeal. This system is like having an extra friend to hold your spot in line and saves waiting later. 3. Besides offering great deals, what else can a store do to get you to shop there on BF? coffee and freebies

I thought I saw them at the local meijer store near me last weekend.

I put miscellaneous little things and vary year to year but the one thing that is always in there is a box of character band aids for each. As we all know kids seem to need them all the time even when they really aren't hurt.

Target does have the leapster games for $15 and they didn't have doorbuster sales just the two day sale.

Brad and Mods Thank you for a job well done. Receiving information well before the big day makes planning for the big event much easier. And Brad again thank you for the shirt, I won one this year, it created quite a buzz while shopping yesterday. Everyone wanted to know where they could get one. I told them "sorry you can't buy them you could only win them from the best deal site around, make sure you check it out you won't be disappointed."

Yes, THANK YOU to all who make this a great site not just for BF but all year and thanks for the shirt. I will definately wear it proudly on BF.

Yes. These are a hit with my family too. So much in fact that I have cut back on making other kinds to make more of these. If you make these you can't go wrong.

I say if they can afford a personal shopper they probably don't need a great deal. Get their list figure out approximate regular retail and tax before any deals we find here. Tell them the items should cost around $x.xx get the money up fron,t tack on a flat fee for your services. Any savings that you can get would be an extra bonus for yourself you earned it.

That's an excellent idea. I'll print some and keep them with me too.

I am so excited! I can't wait to wear it.

no sale is the same what doorbusters do I claim time for price match game cold from head to toe no matter rain sleet or snow shopping I must go

Like littlesdcen said in a previous post, I would definately check the site to find your local retailers that carry them. I did that and found out that the cake and candy decorating store just around the corner sells them.

There was a Target coupon for Bounty paper towel in my sunday paper coupons just yesterday. This is the first time I think I have ever seen one.

Went last night to Target and got some Polly Pocket dolls in a heart container for .49. At first I thought they were in the wrong place but scanned and sure enough part of V-Day. Took the last 6 they had will be nice for DD B-Day.

OK went to target today Clinton Township MI 75% and found lots of stockings and cards and few other things but really picked over. I did however find a new just opened box of Christmas Velveteen Rabbit board books and was able to pick up 30 for DS preschool class christmas gifts for next year for .25 each I couldn't pass it up.

yes I know. All day today the abc family channel is running a christmas classic marathon.

thanks

I love this idea. i think I might have to do this since we haven't sent our letters out yet.

My DD age 5 came home from school the other day a said "Mom, I don't think the Santa at the mall is real." I responded by telling her that I wasn't sure because since there are many children Santa can't be everywhere at the same time, so sometimes he has helpers and you never know who it is going to be. So when we were watching the Thanksgiving parade she asked if that was the real one. I told her yes.

Oh Yes you are absolutely right. I was able to get my DD the leapster lmax last year for $20. It was the target exclusive red one, but does color really matter when you're getting that good of a deal. There were other things I picked up to but that was the best deal.

Toys for Tots

Got one last year and mine is a Mintek I think.

First stop is Meijer, they too PM and there are quite a few things in their ad that I would like to get.
