Do you or Will you do reconnaissance on Wednesday before Black Friday?

[kjunea]

Oh yeah! I've already started looking, but will do some major recon this weekend and then on Wednesday, will head to Kohls and maybe pick up a few things late when they change the prices over!

[dmintelsgt]

I voted yes, although most of my recon will probably be done by Tuesday!

[braylan1]

I haven't ever done it. I travel over an hour to my BF stores.

Thw walmart I shop at is notorious for putt bf items where they dont belong, last year they had large picture frames in the DOG FOOD section, mens in the womens clothes, electronics in the auto section,its ridiculous! All of the managers stand around laughing while customers get pushed, shoved, trampled, its sad!

[lcplwinkerswife]

i do, but i couldn't resist checking the "big jim you are crazy" option!! Lol

same here!

I think I may end up doing it, I might decide to get my mom a netbook. I figure I bought my dad a new PC last year. My mom deserves it.

Ooooh, yeah! I have been wandering stores touching things all week. My main concern is the clothing stuff. You can research electronics, but ya never know about that BF cloth. I have been checking out kids pjs and trying on sweaters so I know what is worth grabbing on the way to the register.

I did some recon work yesterday. Some of the stores are already putting their items in the middle of the aisles. My WalMart and Kmart already have some of their regularly stocked items that will be on sale grouped together.

I have too, just to get a general idea. May or may not go on Wed. (don't live in or very near to the city where I'm going).

[smurfgirl]

I've been to Walmart twice today! lol For right now they are putting pallets of blitz items up top out in the lawn and garden section.

[katsrus]

I always go ahead of time and just see where stuff might be.

ok... we called the Old Navy we are planning to go to ... does this count?

[BFQueenofNY]

I have been known to hide a few random things waiting for 90% off, but I am always amazed at how long my hidden items last. I found the one area in the food section that never gets restocked it seems.

Since Walmart is is another town from me I will get there about 4am on Black Friday with my daughter and scope it out since ours is a 24hr store.

 

Last year I was there about 4:15am and remember the mass of people by the low priced digital cameras. I went over to the HBA section and armed with the map sat on a bench until 5am then got what I needed.

[stiltman]

YES!!!! I'm known by the manager at my bb and he will give me a few scoops to how much they have of some of the hot items and some of the suprize sale items. This way I can be ready for what I'm getting.

 

Big Jim I do not like the way you set this poll up we should have gotten two (2) choices so we ALL could click the "ARE YOU CRAZY BIG JIM :gdlol:" Button. Sorry had to go there.

I had to show my DH this thread to prove to him that I am not completely insane about shopping and that many other people do recon too! Thank you for helping me prove my sanity.

[floridasun5]

Started my recon today! Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately lol the mall stores didnt have anything that would be worth going back on BF for, so I came home and found some great deals online that beat BF deals on clothes! Now, I can spend my time at other stores!
