kjunea Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 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 Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 I voted yes, although most of my recon will probably be done by Tuesday!
braylan1 Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 I haven't ever done it. I travel over an hour to my BF stores.
rlm626 Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 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 Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 i do, but i couldn't resist checking the "big jim you are crazy" option!! Lolsame here!
Klownicle Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 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.
fluffkin79 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 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.
SuperMommy Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 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.
pogiporkchop Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 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 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 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 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I always go ahead of time and just see where stuff might be.
conj Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 ok... we called the Old Navy we are planning to go to ... does this count?
BFQueenofNY Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 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.
LondonAtDark Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 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 Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 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.
Sandi852 Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 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 Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 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!
