I think I'll fashion a few shopping cart battering rams that you can affix to the front. Then, just get a nice big running start and play Mr. Plow.

Score. I was right. Too bad I didn't submit before she did. Now no one will believe me. Not even Bongo.

Well, in order to not go crazy, I'm just going to assume that even if it's legit, that it's for one of the Air Force stores that I have no access to. Now I can sleep just fine. I had hoped that this would help console Bongo, too, but I fear it may be too late, as I found this doing a Google image search: http://www.rove.com.au/pics/s2003-e38/rove/killer/mrbongo.jpg

I know that last year, CC had great deals on Belkin wireless routers (and Belkin wireless cards, if you get the laptop without a built-in wireless modem). I'd be surprised if one or more of the big box companies didn't have amazing BF sales on wireless routers. Keep your eyes peeled!

If it weren't for this site, I guarantee you that I would never head out on BF! Any store that receives my business on BF has this site to thank. That's all I'm saying.

Hopefully their BF sales spill to online deals, because they are all too far away for me to drive to . . . and my wife loves Sephora!

BF isn't BF without . . . Free AR!

Forum withdrawl! Finally back up!

The next one will be the Wal-Mart "Late Bird" Specials.

Nowadays, I just shoot our own pictures and print them up at home. When we do head to a studio, it's all about Picture People for me: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=16842

Awesome store. When we don't do them ourselves, we use PP. One suggestion: If there's a specific pose you saw somewhere and liked, let them know immediately that you want that pose. Calling ahead would be wise, because sometimes it's a matter of "We don't supply that costume . . . you'd have to bring it in yourself." Due to the price, I wouldn't go there without a coupon. To receive offers regularly, join up on their e-mail offer list: Go to http://www.picturepeople.com/ click "What's In-Store?" and click on Email Offers. Right now, you can print a "Free Sheet with Portrait Purchase" coupon, but it expires on Monday. (Sitting fee of $9.95 per person required for Non-Portrait Club members. Offer valid only for color portraits sized 10x13 and smaller.) Just follow the same steps as above on the website, but instead of clicking the e-mail offers link, click on "Now Showing." I would guess that a new one will be available after Monday. When our first child was born, we joined the Smilestones Club, and it was a pretty good deal. We enjoyed that. I believe that the Birthday Club is free, since they simply send you coupons in advance of the kid's birthday.

Hey, this topic really doesn't belong in the BF forum! (Please don't smite me!) But really, some housekeeping would be much appreciated. Thanks for all the hard work you do around here to keep things running smoothly!

This is exactly how I responded to my wife when she mentioned Christmas pictures. The studio's always open!

What exactly do you need to do in order to PM @ Wal-Mart? Do they accept printouts from online stores as well?

When do you sleep???

My wrapping job is completed as soon as the employee places the item inside the store shopping bag

So what's the deadline for ordering shirts to get them before TD/BF?

Sure, they have $300 in BBB, but now that they weigh 400 lbs, everyone will pass them to all the hot product!

My budget seems to increase each time a new list is released here at GottaDeal!

When a new ad is ready, the secret contact marks the face of a nearby public clock with a red "X" Then, Brad or Ross use one of various colors to circle one of the numbers on the clock face. The color used designates which day to drop the package, and the number circled tells them what time to drop it. If either of them runs into problems (e.g. The Man), then the markings on the clock face are erased and replaced with a purple "O" I'm surprised you didn't already know that. Now don't tell anyone!

Hmm . . . "I got the toaster for $5, but the dental work I needed after the fight cost me $200."

Arethey actually decent, though? I know a few years back, they were cheap, but lousy. I see that they're still cheap . . .

I remember all the Cabbage Patch Kids trampling stories from back in the day. What are your worst or funniest BF experiences? What's the longest you waited to not get an item? What's the worst behavior you have seen during the rush? What's the worst you have seen as far as the item being more expensive than advertised, or an incorrect rebate posting? Ever been detained by police/security because of the BF rush? Luckily, my BFs have been relatively boring , with mostly just standing in line. But I know some of you out there are real BF freaks, and I know you have stories!

Hoping for a nice deal on a front-loading washing machine. iPod accessories would be nice, too.

BF is the one time every year I actually buy the paper!
