Tratro

I am waiting for this too! I don't like the idea of shopping for BF deals on Thanksgiving, but it was always a tradition to go to KMart on Thanksgiving, because they used to be one of the few places open during the day.

Thanksgiving Day at Kmart: 1/2 price lighted deer Forza Horizon for XBox 360 for $39.99 ($20 off) Perfection and Jenga games (bogo free) Along with a friend's purchase, earned 2 $5 gift cards, and 20 cents off bp gas! On Black Friday, I decided to boycott the thanksgiving night and Midnight openings. Arrived at the mall at 3:00 am and parked right next to the door. There were no crowds or lines. Torrid (Arrived at 3am) $100 of clothes after 40% off discount (earned 2 haute cash) Victoria Secret (Arrived at 3:30am) 3 $15 dollar gift sets 2 $10 dollar gift sets Free tote Bath and Body Works (arrived at 3:45) 3 signature lotions, 3 more free 2 for $5 mini candles $20 promotional tote Macys (Arrived at 4am) $6.99 ralph lauren pillows Ralph Lauren sweater vest for $20 Home Depot (Arrived at 6am) Martha Stewart LED prelit tree for $59 Home Depot Gingerbread house for $7.99 32 piece shatterproof ornament set for $4.99 Sams Club (Arrived at 7:30am) LG Blue Ray player for $68 Target (arrived at noon) Blanket for $20 Blue rays and DVDs for $6 Halo 4 (earned $20 gift card for purchase) I will note that at all the places I went, the doorbuster items were all still available in decent quantities, even at Target!!

If you have a Bed Bath and Beyond in your area, get your Ninja Pro from there and return the one to target. Its regularly 59.99 and w/ 20% off coupon it will be $48, plus if you buy it before Tuesday, there is a rebate for a 10GC. Even with the $5 off coupon its a better deal than what target was giving.

My black friday was ok. I wasn't really planning on getting alot of stuff. Never go for big ticket items like Laptops or HDTVs anyway. I always go with my mom and younger sister. Headed out at 3:30am I started out at Bath and Body works at Premium Outlets. Got some $5 wall flowers, some buy 2 get one free lip glosses, and a $10 gift set. This added up to $40, so i got the VIP bag for an additional $20. Next to the mall. We always go to JC Penney first to get the snowglobe. This store was supposed to open at 4 am, but when we arrived, there was a poster that said the store opened at 3!! So we walked inside to see masses of people lined up at counters. We got our free snowglobe, then I wanted to check out this luggage set that was on sale for $38.88 but it was really cheap looking, and since everyone was at the registers we just decided to leave to the rest of the mall. Got another snowglobe! Decided to go to the Disney store. Here, they had sales on a number of items, plus 20% off everything until 10am! So i got a Cars Remote control Monster truck for $23, a Cars fleece throw for $8, a Mickey mouse mug for $4, a giant reusable disney holiday bag for $4, and a smaller reusable bag for $2. Next to Sephora, where I got a starter kit for Bare Essentials for $48 (normally $60), and another makeup gift set for $40. Used a gift card that had $25 on it, plus had a coupon for a free vinyl tote, and got a free Marie Cherie by Dior purfume sample. Next to Target. Here I got the Armour All car wash kit for $15, a couple of DVDs for 1.99, Vampire Diaries season one for $12.99, and Nikki Manaj CD for $8.99. Target had alot of doorbusters laying around but wasn't really interested. Bed Bath and Beyond was the next stop. Went there and they were giving out coupons for 20% off entire purchase. Bought Cookie press for $15.99, and Ninja Pro for $48 (which included rebate for $10 GC). Last we went to walmart go get DVDs, ended up walking out with nothing because people were swarming the DVD section and there were only 20 movies available for 1.96, all of which i had or didn't want.

I remember the Gap at Prime outlets had a sale a few years ago, but it seems that each year BF deals are getting worse and worse. I know about 3 years ago i got a coat for half price, and a couple of shirts (that i still own) for about 8 bucks each. I went again last year and their deals weren't so good. Same with Old Navy.

Sam's Club has been having free breakfast for the past few years in my area. This is usually one of our stops. We go to places that open at 4 am, get in and out quick, and then go to Sam's club until mall stores open at 6.

Not really. There are probably a few specials in store, but not advertised anywhere. Make sure you sign up for the beauty insider. Last year they gave out a free bag with purchase but you had to have the beauty insider card.

I am not really looking now for anything right now. It seems to early to think about Christmas. I usually wait until at least the middle of November to start. Plus, I love going out the weeks before Christmas (like Dec 10-24) because it actually feels like Christmas time. I never really buy much for others on BF anyway. Usually CDs, DVDs, and small items like clothes and computer accessories for myself. Last year I actually found better deals the week after Thanksgiving. I went to King of Prussia mall in Pennsylvania, and got three nice angora sweaters for about $10 each because I had a coupon and the salespeople gave me additional coupons after my first sweater purchase. Also, I don't like to buy big ticket items because they always have non-name brand items. You never even see these brands in the store any other time of the year. For me its best to stick to trusted brands and wait until after Christmas instead of killing myself with thousands of other people to get one of two knock off HDTVs or Laptop computers that will probably come out of the box broken

My favorite moment from BF 06 was going to Prime Outlets in Queenstown, MD. I didn't even plan on going, but my mom, sisters, and I decided to go since it was open since midnight and many places didn't open until 4-6am. I got a peacoat from Gap for $40!!! Plus I got some tee shirts for about 75 percent off!!!
