Princess_Lynda Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) Do people line up on Thanksgiving just like Black Friday? I want to get the Hannah Montana Digital Camera (the 2/19.99) Should I get there early? How early? Edited November 18, 2009 by bigjimslade make title more detailed
AndreaInNC Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 depends on your Kmart. I've been there when they opened and there were about 50 folks in line. Finished shopping and drove to another Kmart about 10 miles away - it was a ghost town.
Blue* Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 True, it depends on your location. I usually get there 1 hour before they open, and always been less than 10th in line.
elena_398 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I live by die hards. If you aren't in line by 1am then you are at least 40th in line. I don't see much in the ad for me this year so I am hitting walgreens and Rite Aid on Thanksgiving then heading over.
hjc0209 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I've gotten to Kmart within an hour after they open and the items I went for were gone. I would go early.
happysunshine28 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I was early on Thanksgiving day once, and yes lines just as long where I live. It was a true madhouse. video games being thrown in air by employees. It was several years ago and I have not been back since. I have went later in day and all the good stuff was gone.
TazErase Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 As with any other BF deal, what is it worth to you? If you want it bad enough be one of the first on line. Not sure how many will be looking for that item though. Usually laptops and other electronics are first to go. This is my first year doing KMart but I`m used to Best Buy and wonLt be able to sleep so I`ll be hitting whichever my top priority is Thursday night even though no one has the lines like BB and I`ll defineately be first...... and for once I`ll get to eat with my family on Thanksgiving. lol
arci122 Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Get there by 6am, then run when the doors open. I am never first in line, but always one of the first 5 in electronics. Pays to be small enough to dart through clothing and in shape enough to run.
snwbunny122 Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) where I live Kmart isn't very busy and I have always arrived right as the doors were opening and gotten everything I needed. I have never gotten the BIG ticket items but never had a problem with the smaller stuff. Edited November 25, 2009 by snwbunny122 left a word out
Tivo_Al Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I'm usually there by 6:15 and have always gotten whatever I wanted. Same for tomorrow. Last year I even passed on a Wii coupon.
dbaby4ever Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 The KM to me is in a small town so it isn't really busy. Last year I kept hitting the snooze and ended up getting there at 8 a.m. They had one camera left that was a doorbuster! Boy was that luck? So if it is something you really, really want, I would get there at least an hour early. You can always wait in the warm car until ppl start lining up! I would think there would not be as many there as there will be on BF.
allshoppedout Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 DH was there at 6:05 and was 3rd in line about 30 people there. He got what he wanted, could have had tv s too but we didn't need one......
BLKFRI Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I arrived at 6:15 A.M. and was 20th in line. By the time they opened there were only about 100 people. They had plenty of everything, and passed out tickets for electronic items. They had at least 17 of each, and 40 of the 17" TV that no one in the line wanted. It looked like people wanted the 10MP GE camera, and the Wii. They still had tickets for all items when the doors opened. I went early just to go, and to buy cat food. In and out in less than 10 minutes.
