  1. When I worked at Wal-mart we didn't see the add until it was sent out in the mail. I don't know if the store manager had it before hand, but the department managers didn't get it until it was received in homes. One year, I received it at home the day before it was given out at work.
  2. Just be very, *very* careful when it comes to buying cheap dvd players - you get what you pay for.

     

    It looks like the Oritron player from KM is a discontinued model that KM must have bought a boatload of. I'm not even 100% sure if they are still in business and what kind of business they are by looking at their very poor website.

     

    Would just hate for a bunch of people here to buy these and have them go bust by Feb. with no way to get them fixed . . .

     

    We'll see what CC ends up with though.

     

    I have an Oritron that we got about 8 years ago. Has outlasted all others that we have gotten. Including the extremely expensive 5 disk changer that we got 4 years ago. The Oritron is still going strong. Only problem is we lost the remote in a move about 7 years ago and it is the only way to go through the menu to get to things like special features. But that is our fault, not the DVD players. Don't know about service on them though, as we have never needed it.

    But, we could just be the lucky one and have gotten the only good one they ever made. Who knows...

  3. i am confused .. all the ads say the sale is from 6am to 11am. does that mean after 11am there wont be any sale....

     

    please let me know as i have never shopped before on BF.

     

    It depends. Sometimes the item is a special buy and comes in at that price. Sometimes it is a regular item that is marked down for those hours. But, in a nutshell, the prices that are listed as 6-11a only are available during that time. They will have other sales going on the rest of the day... but nothing as good as those first hours.

  4. It asks for time zones when you enter your info. I am not sure what time zones you are in, but couldn't you maybe use the time zones to adjust to get the wake up call you want. Like, I am in EST, so for a 3 am wake up, I would just request a CST 4am wakeup. Does anyone know if this would work?
  5. Good luck! Went yesterday and they were about wiped out. I did get a t-shirt for my son that says "My sister is a witch" and a pair of leggings with spider webs on them, a pack of black plastic cups, 3 packs of napkins with witches on them, a pair of pink and black striped tights, some gummy candy and autumn mix, straws with parasols and a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory activity book. Total was $3.74, including 6% sales tax.

    They still had lots of Thing, Bioncles and ninja kids costumes. A few other things.

  6. At the WM here, at which I use to work, they usually had more than one pallet of most items. They would bring out one pallet, then when it started to get low they would bring out another. Last year though, they had a couple of duplicate pallets out. I think how they do it is up to the store management.
  7. I would say that it depends on the child. But from what you have said, I would say that it would be fine. My son has had various stages of gb's since he was 4. He has done very well with it. I don't know if I would go with the DS though, as they seem easier to damage, due to the touch screen. But, with my 3 (the youngest 3yrs) I have to consider that, because even though it may belong to the 8 year old, the 3 year old WILL get her little hands on it.
  8. As hard as this is to believe, I didn't even know that BF existed until about 9 years ago. Imagine my suprise the first time that I went to Wal-Mart for one! And I didn't know that other stores did this too. Now, it is my yearly ritual. About 4 years ago, I finally talked the hubby into going with me. Now, he makes sure that we have a sitter for that morning, so that he can go too. Sometimes we go to the same store, sometimes we divide up and go to seperate stores, depending on the deals.

    So, to get to my point, maybe they just don't know what it is. But, that is okay with me, because it makes it easier on me. :)
