The last 5 years I've been making special trips to my shopping city of choice just to get the paper to ensure I got all the ads. This year (now that I've moved), instead of driving an hour and 75 miles round trip I'll be driving 1 mile and two minutes!
Surprisingly not a lot of odd requests from DD this year, maybe because we could be moving again soon. I certainly don't encourage the odd requests - DD comes up with them on her own. When she's grown up she'll look back on her wish lists and have a good laugh I'm sure. :)
The one I went to last year had a line wrapped around the corner of the building, maybe 100 people, but everyone was orderly even at opening. Really depends on your location.
Has anyone gone to Meijer's page and read the item below their BF countdown clock? "Waiting for Thanksgiving Day savings and Black Friday deals is like playing a cruel game of hide and seek. We get it... The wait is what makes Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday deals special." That gave me a good laugh.
I wore mine out last night and while I was at World Market someone mistook me for an employee! Add that to my list of "uniforms" and "places of employment"!
