Best Buy was my first stop (where I lined up) for a few years back in the "good ole' days," but likewise has not been in my first 5 stops for years. Depends on what I am looking for in person, but I usually visit Target, Walmart, pharmacies if they still have some deals, Kohl's, maybe Macy's, plus others that just depend.

I will be looking for a new laptop and/or desktop to replace my outdated desktop and outdated and oversized laptop. Also Wrangler jeans at Walmart. Not sure what else yet.

Wrangler jeans at Walmart, most years. I didn't buy last year, but I need a couple this year.

1. I only have two hands, but that won't stop me. 2. These boxes aren't very comfortable--how about some of those free-after-rebate pillows? 3. Check out these "free" pajamas.

Thanks for the stickers and magnets. No postage issue.

Check-in for September. Just back from a fantastic two week trip to Japan.

Hello August! Looking forward to my first trip to Japan just over 3 weeks from now! I foresee picking up a few souvenir Christmas gifts while I am there.

I am in Montreal for Canada Day (July 1) and long "July 4th Weekend" (driving home on the 4th). Unfortunately, Canada Day was pretty much rained out here in Montreal. Also unfortunately, it looks like all the rains passed south of the wildfires north of here.

Looking forward to June (July, and August).

Checking in for May. Enjoying spring weather.

Hello, April. Enjoying the longer daylight and looking forward to warmer weather.

Time Marches on.

We are getting close to your prediction already. New York City finally got our first measurable snow of the season on February 1 (but just 0.4 inches at that) -- the latest first snow of the season ever recorded in New York City.

Happy New Year 2023!

Hello December. Happy Holidays!

Final hours to join for 2023...

The consulting planning/engineering company I work for has given Black Friday as a company holiday for many years. Before that most people (including me) always found ways to take the day off as part of a four day weekend.

Harrisburg/Camp Hill, Pennsylvania this year on a getaway from home in New York City.

Even if they don't print ads, I like to see a PDF formatted like a printed ad. Hated Best Buy's approach last year and Walgreens no weekly ad approach.

I passed on the "club" this year, but here we go for 2023.

Congratulations to the winners!

What I am really interested in seeing is to what extent the ads appear to have really exceptional "Black Friday level deals" anymore. The Black Friday adds increasingly look like Weekly ads to me. That said, I look for the "big" ads: Walmart, Kohls, Target; and I like to see if the three pharmacies will offer the special deals they have in the past, but which have been diminishing.

First post of the season and I won! Thanks, GottaDeal / Brad.

Wrangler jeans from Walmart most years. In the past from the bins in the stores, but last year I ordered online to get a size not available in the stores. Various items from the three pharmacy chains that tend to repeat good deals each year. For example, gift cards with "bucks back."

October is cool November has Black Friday December is fun
