Two years ago, my 4-year-old nephew said the only thing he wanted was a pink mop and broom (full size, not kid-size) so he could help his mom clean because she worked so hard. After looking everywhere for pink with no luck, I happened to be in Goodwill of all places and found a brand new set. I wrapped them but it was obvious what they were ... He was so excited when he saw the wrapped gifts he started crying! It was so sweet ... Two years later he still loves them! And 3 or 4 years ago, my niece who was 6-ish at the time, asked for a stick and three rocks so she could "use her imagination!" I was happy to oblige! I can remember when I was much much younger asking for a basket of green peppers because I wanted to be healthy! Lol

I had the best Black Friday ever, thanks to this site! I did a ton of research here...I knew I didn't want to try to go to Wal-Mart and Old Navy--too crazy, but there were a couple of things I wanted on each. I filled my cart earlier yesterday and then at midnight last night, I logged on to Old Navy--the half off was applied! I got two cashmere sweaters and four pairs of jeans for $130. Then, we got up at 3:30 to get ready to go out...I logged on to Wal-Mart and got both of the video games I wanted for $27 shipped site to store. So I didn't have to go to either place. We went to Target...we were about 15th in line at 4:15 a.m. By the time the store opened, there were several hundred people. Of course there were the terrible line crashers, but security did a pretty good job keeping them out. One lady made it in right in front of me, so when we got inside, my boyfriend went for the goodies but I went to the other security guard (she sees us there all the time) and told her that she jumped the line and they grabbed her and held her until the whole line got in. WOO HOO!! Anyway, we got two of the 22" Westinghouse monitors, the $44 3 handset phone, two queen size airbeds, two kids camping sets, a few DVDs, flannel sheets, and a couple other misc. things. We were in, checked out, and on our way to Home Depot by 6:15 a.m. (they opened at 6). At Home Depot, we got the $29 Rigid Shop Vac...then we tried Menards, but there were no parking spots...so we went to Shopko and picked up the hunting game and teapot set along with some socks. We then went to Kohl's looking for down comforters, but the line was outrages at 7 a.m. still (even though they opened at 4 a.m.) so we went to Younkers and got the same ones, pretty much, and just walked right in and out. We picked up a few more video games at Game Stop (buy two get one free for used games). Then we went back to Menards and they still had everything we wanted (mostly kitchen stuff). We shopped from 4 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and got everything we wanted. We didn't wait in a checkout line for more than 2 minutes anywhere. It definitely helped to get Wal-Mart and Old Navy done online...thanks to this site!!
