  1. I take my cell phone to stay in contact with my daughter who is in one line getting stuff and a credit card, id and keys. leave the rest in the car. The lighter the better. I like the green bag idea. Carts are too big unless I need it to get big items, but they are hard to get around the store with all the people. Be nice.
  2. Our well water was so bad it tested the hardest on the charts. We got a water softener from Lowe's and it has made a big difference. Think of your hair, body and cooking with the hard water. And don't forget your pets, they are drinking it too.

    Yes they are expensive, but worth it. Our water was turning everything orange. That was the iron in it. It looked like swamp water after it settled in a container.

    Get a water softener.

  3. I go to the local WM and they are the best. If you live near a smaller WM I would suggest going there. Friendlier people, nicer workers too.

    This year I was in the GPS line I was around the 10th one in line and I asked one of the people behind me to hold my spot and I went and got several people the fliers and the maps for the deals. When I came back one of the line holders told me that there were two boys up near the front of the line. Basically they were starting another line. When the manager came up there to price check the Kitchenaide for me (they didn't know it was on sale) Got the sale price right and then I mentioned to him about the other line forming. Oh forgot to tell you that the line holders told me they informed an associate about the other line forming and she told them that it was okay and it would be a free for all.

    Well that didn't sit well with us. I talked with the manager about all of this and he called two associates right then and within a couple of minutes there was a cop up there too. The cop stood there with his arms folded across his chest. Too funny. The boys left and the line holders were giving me high fives for standing up to them.

    Hey, that's what it's all about.

    After I got home around 7am and told my husband about the GPS he mentioned that he would like one. So back up to WM i went. They still had over 30 left. So I checked out the near empty store and when I was back in electronics I saw a guy looking at the case where the GPS used to be. I asked him if he was looking for the ones on sale and told him they were up front near the registers. He took off.

    I love my WM. Sorry for the long post, but had to share.

  4. What is Price match? *new young black friday shopper*

     

    Price match is when you take the ad to another store from a different store. Some will price match exact items. Walmart does so that's why a lot of us take other ads to WM on Black Friday. You don't have to run all over town to get the good deals as long as the store you go to first will price match.

    Hope that helps and welcome to the site.

  5. If you work, mention the situation to a few of your co-workers. I bet they would love to pitch in and help you. Maybe the Salvation Army could also help. Not sure where they get their lists from, but you could call. Also check with United Way and ask them who you can contact to help them out. I also know that when my husband worked for the Post Office, they looked for families to help out. They do a big food drive either in Nov. or Dec. Another thought is to ask a church to adopt them. Church people love to help out and everyone loves to give at this time of year. (please don't be offended anyone, I mean that statement in the best way.)

    Nothing is better than helping someone else. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

  6. I bought a laptop from WM on Black Friday. It was around 398.00. My daughter also bought one for her husband. The line wasn't too bad either. I ended up not needing/wanting the one I bought so I sold it to a friend.

    I need one this year, so I'm holding out until BF. Also want a video camera. Just waiting for the ads.

    Don't forget that most of the stores you can go online and buy the stuff without waiting in line.
