[Burned out yet or still Pumped Up?]

im not burned out, but i am a little annoyed by the fact that no one i know does black friday & a lot of people i mention it to look at me like i'm insane

[Let's talk wrapping paper]

Do you use it or bags? When do you buy it and where? Do you go with a theme?

 

I use paper more than bags. Save the bags for the odd shaped things. I always buy it after christmas for the next year (Tops, Target, Dollar Tree). Although if I run out I usually go to Dollar Tree if no one else has it on sale cheaper

 

I sue snowman wrapping paper for anyone who isn't a kid well except my mom she gets santa as she loves santa's

i try to use paper as much as possible since bags cant be stacked as easily around the tree

 

i have a stash of paper that carries over from year to year, so i just buy a roll or two of something i like each yeah & try to toss a few old ones in january b4 the stuff goes back into storage...last year i bought a few extra rolls at walmart after xmas, & im ashamed to admit one was in my trunk (suv) till last week...another, sadly, was lost in a tragic iced tea accident it was soo pretty too

[Brad, Check out this crap!!]

my comp has an issue with videos..can someone give me a summary?

[trivial pursuit?]

:woot2: thank you!!!

[trivial pursuit?]

i wanted to get the new(ish) trivial pursuit dvd game (pop culture or soemthing?) & i saw it for 17 or 18 on BF, but does anyone know if it's currently on sale somewhere?

[When is the Best Buy Official AD available?]

i got mine today in our local paper...fyi looks identical to what was posted

[What do you do while standing in line at the store?]

if people are friendly, then chat...if not, read, maybe play gameboy...oo & gotta remember to take my ipod loaded w/ christmas music to keep me in the holiday mood

[Anyone check today's newspapers?]

our little local (town/county) paper has best buy, kmart, home depot, & walgreens today...makes sense tho since it's a weekly paper that comes out on wednesdays

[went to my walmart today the have bf stuff out]

I went looking for the carebears at WM after my recent successes at TRU and Target. No luck.

i just saw them a few days ago @ wm in saddle brook, nj

[Anyone shop on Route 22 in Jersey for BF?]

Is that 3:30 am? Well 3:30 isn't as bad as midnight I guess. How are the roads at that time? All I want is one stinking thing at BB, then off to Staples, and hopefully back to bed by 8. Looks like I can do that but I just won't have any bags to come home with huh?

 

21yankees, I'm in Fanwood!

yeah everyone on this forum is making me paranoid so i keep pushing my start time up...roads are fine (i take 280 to parkway south to 22), almost peaceful compared to how they usually are

 

can you price match the thing at BB anywhere else?

[What time do you get in line?]

I think I would if I were you, well depending where you are. Where are you shopping this year? I am going so early because I have to get a lot in my cart before getting in line and I know that the little people and care bears are going fast! I called my wm to see how busy they get, you might want to do that too. One said people start getting there at midnight and another said 3! lol I think I eill take the chance that there will be people there at midnight and if not I can always put stuff on layaway and go sit in my car Or I can hop into my cart and play tetris on my game boy!

going to walmart in watchung, nj (anyone wanna be my shoppin buddy?)...im thinkin it's gonna be packed, & now this forum is making me paranoid, maybe i'll go for 2...not like im sleeping anyway

[Which is MORE fair?]

i said neither...keep it every man for himself & watch the carnage unfold as boxes fly & little old ladies get trampled

[Snow]

snow here in jersey tomorrow, maybe a little on bf...im worried about the temp tho, it's just before 1pm here & the wind chill is 25, i can only imagine what 4am friday will be like

[What time do you get in line?]

I dunno, probably only 50....im SoCal born and raised....we don't take kindly to anything under 70.

::sobs uncontrollably:: i'm gonna freeze to death

[Wrapped Presents Vs Bought Presents?]

i have maybe 10, none wrapped - wrapping doesnt start till after the tree is up & decoration boxes temporarily put away (not enough room in the apartment) - as it is the living room looks like a bomb hit it since i just got back from vegas & havent unpacked yet...too many things going on rite now

[How Many Of You Watch ....]

We watch The Grinch, the cartoon one and A Muppets Christmas Carol. You gotta love the muppets.

muppets!!!!! i usually get in a solid 20 viewings each of muppet christmas carol & muppet family christmas each season

 

i'll watch pretty much anything...except a christmas story

[An idea to keep warm...]

wow, that brings back memories - i used to use those when i was a safety patrol in 5th grade

[What time do you get in line?]

how cold could it possibly be in cali?

 

(the wind chill is currently 18 here, btw)

[Walmart/Best Buy PM]

think i'll have any problem pm'ing dvds from BB?

[Best deal on GBA SP for BF????]

ot: is it just me, or are there not really any decent deals for nintendo ds this year? i was sure some store would make a killing with 15 or 20 bucks off on the unit alone (not these bundle things)

 

the kid in me got quite excited seeing the price of sp at walmart ($48 i think) - i'm quite tempted to get one for myself (i figure i deserve it, since all i ever had as a kid was the old green-screen clunker)

[Anyone shop on Route 22 in Jersey for BF?]

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

 

i'd imagine westfield itself has changed quite a bit too :gd_dollar

 

as much as it kills me to say, i could never leave nj - best insanity anywhere

[Black Friday is 1 DAY away!!]

im so excited i think i may explode :runaway: :runaway: :runaway:

[What time do you get in line?]

I will be getting the door buster bb dvds from wal mart to price match, some items from target to price match, and the little people playsets and the 16 qt roaster from there too! lol needless to say I will be there at about 1am!

im also looking to price match on the bb dvds, & for the little people sets, plus the dual-screen (in-car) dvd player & care bear...should i be going earlier?

[* Official Black Friday DVD PLAYER / RECORDER Thread *]

im looking into the $100 samsung one from BB, thoughts?

 

also i'm familiar with cd burning but not dvds..do all dvdrs use rs & rws? (in other words, can you copy over stuff if you're using dvd-rws?)

 

and can someone please tell me what's up with dvd-r vs dvd+r vs dvd-rw vs dvd+rw (if all of those are actual types)?

[What time do you get in line?]

i think both of the last 2 years i was there 30-40 mins before opening (bb in 03, target in 04)..at bb there were a good hundred (or two) people ahead of me but i just wanted dvds, then at target i was one of the first 50 or so (we were all huddled into the area between the sets of doors bc it was so cold )

 

this year im going to walmart for 3:30, but again i dont need any of the doorbuster-type stuff (at least i dont think i do - what's at walmart that everyone's gonna be grabbing for?)
