Scarfs, hats, make up, bathrobe, bath stuff, Itune cards, then depending on what she is into, Mine at 13 was into softball so I found all kinds of really neat tee-shirts softball themed.

I just convinced my boss about the phillips 55 inch in the Walmart ad for 298.00 for the community room in the elderly building I manage do you think this one is good enough I know it's cheap but we have to go cheap, and then the wall mount for 19.00 have to wall mount it as things tend to grow feet and walk.

Here is a list of Movies on sale at stores who have released their ads http://blackfridaycharts.com/

Petsmart is way better this one is mostly BYG1 50% off

new call of duty is listed at 57.00 in ad. love the under 20 buck all in one printer by hp

I tried that not all of them loaded in the different years, Although the one year you gave me my own thread those showed up

Last year I did this contest took me awhile but went to several ads and used the whole 1000.00 not a penny over or a penny under. I love this contest

I have four child and they are now 29,26,19,and 17 when they were little we had several traditions we would do, They each got Santa PJ's, They each decorated a Santa cookie, in laws and some family would come for dinner, when they left the kids got in their jammies, put out the cookies, hang the magic key on the outside of the door no fireplace, sprinkle the gold dust outside so Santa could see our yard. along with a snack for the reindeer. They would check the radar to see where Santa was and off to bed they went. Now fast forward we still put out the cookies, we still hang the key and sometimes we still sprinkle the gold dust, somethings never change

They have always had two ads,

I always thought this was the happiest time of the year, Until I realized it was election year. bah Hum bug

How many of you have dinner traditions that you hold tried and true every year. In my house thanks to my Italian parents we celebrate the feast of the seven fishes. No turkey no ham, fish and shellfish and pasta, every year I try to come up with a new pasta and seafood combo. I also make egg plant Parmesan, homemade bread and desserts. And we do not forget the wine.

Dev's parents both have been ill this year and he has been taking care of them, then his good friend was killed in a hit and run. He is here just not in the mind set to do Black friday live. He and Ray talked about Dev doing the week before so that is a plus. You should join us it's been fun

what no one notice the TMNT waffle maker, that is a must have for my oldest son lol

People can be very nasty black Friday, This I know as I like many of you have done this a long time. Our life has changed so very much in a year, what is that saying in a blink everything can change or be gone. She can handle several things and I know her triggers, there will be more then just her and I, and believe it or not I may be very over protective but her little brother is ten times worse then I could ever be. We will also have her sister, her sister and I did some talking tonight and will do more as this time gets closer. I will never ever put her in a position to be hurt.I also would not allow Phoebe to be put in harms way. But on the other side of this coin, I can not let her feel like she can not do some of the things she had done in the past. If we attempt Walmart she will have to stay close to the front of the store, as it is not safe for able bodied people. I like a good deal but I love my kids more

The dog is properly identified as a service dog, and the disability doesn't have to be apparent to warrant a service dog. She has not been questioned yet, and so every one knows they can only ask what the dog is in service for. Which she will very politely tell you seizures. No one can ask any other questions. the only store I think we will be at at opening is Gordmans.

Dev, you and your family have been in my prayers as well. It's been a rough road we travel all of us and these bumps we face are just that bumps.

How many of you do themes in your homes for Christmas, My kitchen is Snowmen and Gingerbread men the gingerbread was a Gotta deal ss that got me started and my collection of Christmas salt and pepper shakers that line most of my ceiling in my kitchen,along with my silly collection of signs. My family room has a tree that is decorated in stuff animals, started with the Rudy reindeer's from burger king, It also is my Rudolph room, I love me some Rudolph. The hall in the foyer is red and white and my 5 ft Santa stands there along with a white tree and red lights with snowmen. The Living room hold the real tree and is decorated with dated ornaments going back ton 1982 and ornaments my children made over the years. The living room is also where you will find my animated dolls, Angels and my collection of Christmas snow globes. My kids decorate their rooms and we do the bathroom which holds a small tree and snowmen ornaments and shower curtain. It does take me several days to decorate and one day to take it all down. I have threatened at times not to put it all up but I lose that battle every year

No one ever said Black Friday sales were a science, there have always been better prices before during and after black Friday on several things, Toy's, electronics, Appliances and misc. The stores want you to but up until the Dec 24th that is why there are Sunday sales, preview sales, weds sales and special in store sales. Sales are what you make of them and what you are in the market for, They will not please every single person around

Not sure about tonight, as it is Walking dead night, even through Black friday prep walking dead comes first lol. Do you have a time yet

This is contingent on what is in the rest of the ads, but I don't think with several doorbusters are on line
