My daughther went this morning, she was there at 8:45am to put on layaway an Ipad2, she had to wait until 9:00am. They had only one left in white 16gb (that was exactly the one that she wanted). She was the only one at the Layaway dept. at that time.

I never go to BB on black friday. But for what I have heard, some people start lining up on Thursday and by an hour before they open, the line is around the building.

I love it there. Outside the mall you have Target, Dicks, Best Buy, TRU, Michaels, and like two driveways down is Walmart, Bed Bath and Beyond, ACMoore and Home Depot. At the mall you have Sears, JCPenney, Macys, The Disney Store, The Apple Store, Lord and Taylor and other great stores. Always calm, people polite no fights.

Rockaway Mall in Rockaway, New Jersey.

Half Price Books - October 14th

I also got the Itunes cards last year. They had a Compaq laptop for about $250 and good deals on TVs. I wasn't in the market for tvs but this year I am and hoping they have it again before BF. They usually have it the first Saturday of November.

Last year me and my daughter were in line at Target. My daughter's husband was working the night shift and he went to Target to talk to us for a little while. He works for JCP&L the power light company and he parked this big ass truck in the middle of the parking lot. Then he walked toward us and said out loud, OK everybody can go home now there is no power at Target. OMG, everybody started to scream, then he said OH NO NO, I'm just joking. We were laughing so hard for about 10 mins. You have to see the look on people's face. That has been the funiest and best memory by far at Black Friday.

Thank you, you saved me a trip. I was planning to stop by on my way home today at Rockaway.

Rockaway Mall, NJ was 75% today.

Walmart had last weekend the ITunes cards $50 for $35 limit 2 per person. I got two of them. That deal was better than BB.

LOVEEEEE the ad. Target was never my number one store on BF, but this year will be. I will be ending with few free gift cards if I get everything that I have in mind. Gracias Brad you just made my day (or night)

Thank you for the tip. I just did it and I got them immediately. I'm going for the Insignia Camcorder bundle.

YAY!!! I got my confirmation that I can pick up the Wii bundle that I bought online at 3:30am on black friday :) I ordered it site to store and saved $12.97. This is the first time that I order from walmart.com on black friday, and the whole experience has been great. No complains, they kept me informed by email about the status of the order. I will do it again next year, if I have to.

The ad is out. There is a list in another site.

I just bought the Magellan GPS online and it took 5% off from the sales price. The price came out better than black friday. I selected the PickUp in store to save shipping, and it says available later today, only 7 available at my store. I was about to buy the TomTom at Target on black friday, but after reading reviews, I decided not to. Now I can do my first stop at Kohls at 4:00am instead of Target or Sears

I want the TomTom gps and I planning to get there on Friday about 3:00am.

Yeap, me too. I have been trying since 6:00am today, and nothing.

I work on a corporate offices and we always have BF and X-mas eve off. They also close the last week in December (we get pay for that week).

Some good deals on the Ipod Touch, maybe with a free $25 itunes card.

Gracias Brad. I started my X-mas list already...

Also remember that the big sale starts on December 29th and you can use the coupon, since it expires on December 31.

My BF was great this year. This year I went with my niece because she wanted to experience what it is a Black Friday, she is 12 years old. I was at JCPenney at 4:10am, got my snowglobe and bought two items it took me about 20 mins. Then I went across the street to TRU, I was in line at 4:35. I bought 3 boxes of diapers for $10.00 ea and 3 boxes of wipes for $5.00 ea. out of the door in 15 mins. Then, I went to Staples, I was in line at 5:30, the line was short I got few things there, it took me about 20 mins. Then I went to Target, my God, that was a mad house around electronics and toys. I was able to get my two items and out in 15 mins. After Target I went to Home Depot to get the 2gal. air compressor in and out in 10 mins. Then I headed to the mall where I had breakfast and finish my shopping. I was home by 10:30am with all the items that I went to get. My niece told me that she had a lot of fun and she will do it again with me next year.

Spend the rest of the day at the MALL - JCPenney, Bath and Body Works, etc. I bought my two big items already, so I don't have to be at the stores waiting that early. I bought the $298.00 laptop at Walmart and a 32" LCD HDTV at Costco for $399.99
