Got a TV yesterday, they didn't even have them on the floor, you had to ask an employee for one.

Doing a happy dance, got my batteries yesterday and my rewards, and already have the paper towels in my cart...
-
I'll be doing an order pickup for some $3 paper towels. Hoping this Sunday they have batteries free after rewards and I'll use the rewards to pay for the paper towels and tp.

Another disappointing ad, this will be the first year I'm not going to Michaels.

Fabric for me

Used to love shopping at Kohls in the middle of the night on black Friday when they'd stay open all night. I'd get my black Friday shopping done everywhere else, then go to kohl's in the middle of the night after the long lines were done and still take advantage of the sales without the crowds. Sometimes I'd go to kohl's for doorbusters then come back later at 2 or 3 am and shop the rest of the sale and not have to wait in long lines to pay. And finish in time to get in line at the stores that didn't open until 6am.

Hoping to get a much early shopping as done as possible and to only have to hit a couple stores in black Friday.
-
Waiting for the ads to come out!
-
Black Friday is a week away and there's still ads not available. Hoping to get my game plan together this weekend.
-
Love these week-long sales!!!
-
Household items like towels and pillows. I always get a few $10 mascaras, brands that are normally over $20.
-
I was excited about black Friday, but looking at the ads so far I'm losing my excitement...

Waited in line at Best Buy about 20 years ago, got the last TV with a built in vcr for my kids playroom, and had it in my hands and a man tried to say it was his because he saw it before me. The store was so packed I had to carry it over my head to get through the crowds to the checkout line.
Did he really think just because he said that I would be intimidated and just let him take it?

Of course the couple things I want are not on sale yet
-
Yes!
Halfway done shopping...
This is what you got me up for?
-
Went there 3 times, the cashier let you use the additonal 20% off on EVERYTHING! The t-shirts that were $2.50 came to like $1.87 each and it even took the discount off the $3.99/yard fleece!

Don't want something cheap, but also don't want to spend $100 on each piece of luggage. Don't really need an entire set of luggage either. I checked Amazon cyber Monday deals and nothing jumped out at me.

Got the $228 65 inch TV from Walmart and it is awesome!

Did anyone else experience short lines and not a lot of people in the stores BF morning? Mendards had half the people it usually does, I was in and out in 20 minutes, and had no checkout line. Then I went to Meijer and drove past a not even half filled Best Buy parking lot, and there was barely anyone at Meijer. I went to Joanne Fabrics and normally wait an hour in the fabric cuttling line, and there was 1 person in line in front of me. I actually went there twice and there were no lines either time. I went to 5 Below and there was barely anyone in there, and I have waited in a line before to get in there BF morning. Every store I drove past had half-full parking lots. Kohls you normally have to park in the overflow lot, and I parked near the doors.

There should still be paper ads in the Thanksgiving paper.I like the way it used to be. I liked going out to wait in line and hopefully get that item that I really needed/wanted. I also miss the paper ads, it was easier to make lists with a paper ad.

I feel that the term "Black Friday Sale" doesn't mean anything anymore. What's called a "black friday sale" isn't really even a sale in some instances. I don't mind the BF sales all week because most people don't realize the sale has started and I can get everything I want without the lines, but I don't like these sucky ads, some without prices, advertising "up to 50%" off. I hope this isn't a sign of changing black friday ads. Stores that I have shopped at every year for years, now have nothing in their ad that's making me even want to shop there this year.

I submitted my order & it just kept spinning until finally a screen came up saying the order couldn’t be completed because of the payment method. I tried to fix it but then it sent me back to the queue. 20 minutes later, I’m still in the queue & an order confirmation comes thru my email. A far better experience than the TS ticket debacle but still annoying.
And now I have 2 of the same item at 2 different stores to pick up becuase the first one didn't look like it went through... what a mess. I may just go into the store to pick up the rest of the items I wanted instead of going through the same thing on Tuesday when the rest of the things go on sale.

I keep going through the checkout process over & over again. It spins then brings me back to my cart. Again and again and again. And then makes me log in again. They did not plan for this very well.
-
Their website sucks. I had to wait in "line" to even access the site and I purchased something to pick up in store and after it said my sale went through, it told me it's not available anymore and now it's just spinning... Only some of the items are BF prices. It keeps making me sign into my account...

Is it just me or do these ads leave a LOT to be desired?

Agree. Ads are coming out much later, prices aren't so great in the ads, things aren't on sale like they used to be...
Some examples the pet stores used to have almost all dog treats and toys on sale like half off, now just a few prestige brands are half off. Meijer always had cat liter half off, now it's buy one get one half off. JC Penney used to have tons of items free or cheap after rebates, and the free snowglobes.
I don't like the trends in black Friday shopping...
