Well, I spent nearly 3000.00 on black friday last year at walmart. The money i spend this year most definitely will not go there. If they are ashamed of their ad, then they should kick it up a notch. there's nothing wrong with a leaked ad then walmart supplementing those ads at the door with additional items which would make them even more competitive. if walmart was smarter with their marketing, they would leak a couple items every other day or so, to keep the excitement building as well as choke out the competition. but their heavy handed tactics may backfire..........................

thanks so much!

We picked up one of these 150.00 deals too, there were only three available in our stores. we thought we were going to be assaulted for it on the way out, but we did it. it works great for browsing, watching dvds, listening to music, homework.

I got started with the furbies, in 1997 or 1998................hooked ever since

Outside waiting I take: blanket, hand/foot warmers, lawn chair. Inside: fanny pack, gum, ads, credit card, tylenol, water bottle...........

DD

KMart 7am Thanksgiving, make final decisions for sales on Thanksgiving afternoon, making calls to all the shopping buds to determine who will be where..........Then between midnight and 2 am me and dd head to walmart, gather all of our price match items, find where our door buster number 1 and number 2 items are, get there to wait. Then out of walmart by 6:20 am and line up at Target. DD gets cart and waits by register, I scatter thru store, grabbing stuff to throw in cart. Then she lines up as I am grabbing the last few things and were out before 8.

I will say Ace also, with the minor retailers, and I would say of the major retailers CompUsa or Walmart will leak out in mid October. The CEO of Phillips has already mentioned some deals with WalMart as has Apple too.....................................

I'll be at WalMart then head to Target as usual

spirit does run some good specials, i've seen $8.00 one way

from another source Harbor Fright ad In Stores I was handed the BF ad at HF yesterday. Store opens 7am. Can't say there is anything thrilling if you shop usual sales. SS tool chest (only 5 per store) $250 top 91468, $300 bottom 91469.

Target hasn't price matched here in at least three years, and it really hurts them I think. Target is the preferred store to wal mart because it's more compact, better layed out and only slightly higher. Not price matching kills their sales on black friday. Mine sales alone are usually in excess of $1000:cheesy:

Thanks A Bunch!

You know on BF people actually are quite rude equally to all, including preggos. They sure don't whisper when they criticize the preggo for being out and they don't hold back with the cart crush...........

I have stood in the snow twice in 9 years.......Stupid me, but we loved it!!

I was 9 months preggo black friday 7 years ago, jammed between my cart and others in front of and behind me in Toys R Us. I started having labor pains, yes I did, and couldn't get out of there, short of crawling across carts. I called a friend to pick me up at the door as I was standing in line. People couldn't let me in front of them as we were jammed up and I couldn't go back...2 hours later I checked out, left my stuff with service desk, jumped in friends car, went to hospital. 3 hours later, had kidney stone............10 days later beautiful baby boy with lots of great black friday toys for christmas.........

Sams club is the place to be the day after christmas....I walked out last year with gift bags, 7 packs, wired ribbon, 40 rolls, lights, a tree, yard ornaments, extension cords, toys, gift sets you name it, 200 bucks. I didn't need to buy a thing the rest of this year for presents, and i'm well stocked for years to come!!!

i don't think i remember ever eating breakfast at all!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you, always nice to have a battle plan!!

maybe the could pass out numbered tickets for the limited number items at walmart, and general colored tickets, like 300 pink tickets, then 300 yellow, then 300 blue....and so on. when the doors open, let in only those with the color, wait three minutes, next group, three more minutes, next group.....

I'm 5' 10, I guess I never realized that was marketable on black friday!!! good deal

why can't the walmarts of the world pass out tickets for each item at designated times outside the store, then exchange them in the store? that way you could get in line, get your ticket, then maybe go home and claim your item before the 11 am cut off, but no swarm....... i think wal mart loves the publicity from the black friday mayhem and that's why most of them don't truly try to control it..........

I tend to avoid best buy because of all the rebates....drives me crazy.

Our big deal toy was the Furby!! Darn near got knocked in the head on Black Friday over a furby!:)
