I think they're great if you keep everything organized. OD lets you track them online I believe. Always keep copies of what you send out for the rebate and if you do it online, keep your confirmation. That way you can file a dispute if you never receive it.

I dont believe so, I've never had a problem with these in the past. This isnt a "per person" barcode- it just pertains to the disount. Just like you can use the code REG88 for $10 off online.

Mine was a little more, it was onsale for $169, but I also had a $50 certificate I got from MyPoints.com points. It was a long peacoat.

Not sure if yankee is having a sale, but here is a coupon for $10 off $25 you can use: http://www.yankeecandle.com/yc/html/retail/Email_HTML/registerForCouponsWeb.html

No- what I meant is that the high school kids seem to swarm the malls mid morning- they're not as hard core as us getting there at 5am on their day off. :)

I went today for a coat too. Some of the coats were 40% off. Actually, the prices on the website were pretty close to what they are in store. I bought an Anne Klein and it was a dollar amount off, not a percentage though (close to 35% off). Scarves and gloves were 50% off.

Yes, but unfortunately its not the Black Friday ad Can't wait to see that one!

Mostly because of the quantity of items available. Also, later in the morning there a lots of high school kids out in my area...and parents with little kids. Try my best to avoid that, as its already crowded early on.

I was just at Macys today, they're having a great sale already. Extra 20% off if you use your Macy's card. I would look at their site Thursday and check the paper for the ad. The past few years, the ad has been in the coupon section, but the coupon for Macys was in the front page section of the newspaper.

I just got an email from Microcenter with the following deals, it said more would be out in the paper on Thursday\ Save Friday, November 25, 6 a.m. - 10 p.m. at your local Micro Center store!

I guess it depends on what you are looking for. I find great deals at Macys in the Home Store and Jewelry. I get my aunt a bracelet every year from there- usually have 50% off jewelry, plus additional 15% off during the door buster. Last year Macys east had the $10 off and a 50% coupon of one item. I used my 50% off coupon, and then later found something else I wanted. The clerk gave me 50% off when I asked if it would apply, even though i didnt have the coupon. Great customer service there.

Just a heads up, you should be able to go to Walmart's site now and view the circular for your area. There's a link on the front page of the Walmart site to enter your zip.

Last year I had a great experience at Macys. Great deals, with a 50% off coupon from the newspaper. Somehow I misplaced the coupon but the sales person gave it to me anyhow and wished me a Merry Christmas. It was a really nice moment, especially with all of the nastiness you can see on Black Friday from people.
