[What are your thoughts on trampolines?]

I had one as a child and I never got hurt too bad... My daughter has one now and she is 6 she loves it and we have taught her to be very careful with it. I do not allow the neighborhood children to come over and jump on it. That is too much of a risk and also the more childrem they are together the braver they seem to get

[Pre-Ad BF Plans (merged)]

Its almost always TRU for me.. Although if someone had a killer no rebate deal on a decent laptop I could go for that this year as well

[Wal Mart Stocking up Early]

OK I went to Wal Mart the other day. They seem to have an extraordinary amount of merch in the toy dept for regular sales. I also saw several items that untill just recently were only availible ONLINE at wm.com Could they really be stocking up this early????

[does anyone go to prime outlets on Black Friday!!]

I usually don't do the outlets for BF but last year my dd was big into trolls. The Claires at the outlet ( and only the outlet) had watches and other stuff with trolls. So after my early morning rush to the regular mall. I decided to venture out to Five Oaks tanger outlet in Sevierville. My grandma lives there about 45 min away so I thought I could have breakfast with her after. It was a nightmare. Cars parked in the road, cops writing tickets, car accidents everywhere. I could not get within a mile of the shopping. This is a tourist area and apparently people come on vacation here just for BF shopping at the outlet. DUH I never knew

[Does your family/friends think you are *nuts* for shopping on BF?]

OK so on thankgiving I spread out the ads and highlighters paper to make a list and take orders. My FAMILY talks about how crazy I am.. ( you are lucky to catch one of them out of the house) forget in an actual store. Of course they are definitly not shy about placing orders for me to pick up.

[Anyone ever go shopping Alone??]

I ALWAYS go alone. My family thinks I'm crazy for even leaving the house. I think they are the ones that are crazy... (For paing full price!!!)

[Is anyone else noticing sale prices aren't great?]

I would like for the khols and tru ads to come out soon.,

[Anybody else going boonkers]

I keep hoping everytime I check the sight that TRU, Kohls and Target will be on here. Ok, forgot about Kmart too! It will sure make it easier to plan my attack once they are out!

I a with you... These are always my first stops too.

[Why do you shop on BF?]

I go for the tradition, to get into the spirit... It started out as just good deals but now i would go deals or not.

[How many Black Fridays have you shopped prior to this year?]

2000 was my first year after my dd was born

[How much of your Christmas shopping do you usually do on BF?]

I like to do as much as possible on BF. BUT I always forget someone and end up doing it last minute

[Full list of DVDS?]

Its always whats already cheap in the bins at WM

[Where to go first?]

I too never make my plans until Thanksgiving. I sit in the floor of my grandma's house with all of my non bf crazy family looking at me as if I am an idiot, and spread out my ads. This is when I plan my attack.

[sign up for target toy catalog]

Thanks a bunch

[Grab extras for Trade?]

I don't do it on PURPOSE, I just grab extra in case I don't get one of the other items I came for, or in case I think of someone else at the last minute.

 

By the time I get to checkout, if I don't need the extra, I'll put them back (of course someone is glad by that point, because they're sold out)

Me too

[Gifts for the year on BF]

I have actually never thought of this..lol Thanks for the idea

[Daughter wants Limited Too stuff 4 Xmas]

My daughter has just started being able to wear LMT 2 clothes.. I am so excited.. I would rather spend the money and have her have nice things and maybe scrimp on some other things a little more.

[Wal-Mart BF on Local 6oclock News]

I don't know if they got it on this site or what but my local 6oclock news had the wal-mart BF ad. They broadcasted it last night as one of the top stories. Has anything been on your local news?

[Whatcha wearing BF]

Jeans, Thermal Underwear, Tshirt, sweatshirt, and my coat, scarf, gloves ect.. That way as the day progresses I can lose layers as I warm up from shopping.... It is always way cold here by then.... close to the mountains

[Be careful of TRU online and Big Book Different]

Thanks that is good to know

[Leapfrog leappad or leapster?]

my daughter is 5. I got her a leappad first and she never played with it. Then last xmas I got her a leaster and she LOVED IT still plays with it all the time. If I were you I would go with the leapster and maybe some of the easiest games.

[What do you do when the shopping is done?]

I usually stay out all day.. When I do get home I eat some leftover pie and collapse!LOL!!!!!
