MarkRaby Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 For the past 2 years I've gone, we hit JC Penny first (just for the free snowglobe) and then go around the corner to Best Buy. -Mark- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elena_398 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Last year I was at Toys R Us first as my sister hit KB Toys for me (I just gave her my list). Usually though Im at Walmart. Mine is 24 hours so I go there super early and get all my price match stuff first, then drift around the area until the BF prices are in effect.

Angelseyes28 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I normally do Walmart first but unless they have a really great sale this year I think I will try a new strategy. Not sure what that strategy is going to be though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steakgoddess Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Wal-Mart or Toys R Us, depens on who has the better toy deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmbrly Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Depends on the time of the sale. In the past, we would hit Kmart for the 5am sale, be in and out just in time to go right down the street to Walmart to get in line for the 6am sale. Split up in there to get everything on the list and if we're lucky we would only be a few minutes late for the Target 7am sale. After Target, maybe hit Best Buy, Radio Shack, and office max. Then it's off to breakfast somewhere. The past 7 years I lived in Missouri (St Louis). Now that I've moved to Florida I'll have to do my homework on the locations of the stores, not just homework on the sales. lol BF shopping can be hard work.

RossMAN Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Staples because the lines don't wrap around the block and their rebates are easy to submit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kandy Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Walmart, But last year we did JcPenny's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzMama Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 We usually go to Walmart, then hit the stores in the mall (KB Toys, Sears, JC Penney). Then, go to Sonic for a quick breakfast. After that, we just hit whatever's left! However, this year we will have a Target to go to, so our schedule might change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairydustcrissy Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 @hoever opens first with the most deals! it usually works out that i end up at Kmart for a 5am opening, target for 6am, then the mall. i have done JCP 1st, but have NEVER gotten a snowglobe! NEVER! Maybe that will be my goal this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelvrick Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 It used to be Best Buy because one of my friends used to live pretty close to one, and we had this whole tradition where a group of us would play games until about 2 am, then go stand in line and act like a bunch of idiots while freezing until it opened. That is, last year was the first year we deviated from Best Buy as well, the sales sucked. We went to Frys instead and are probably doing that this year as well.

SueInCali Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 We live 15 or so miles from BB, Sears and Staples. The Target and Wally World are 20 miles the other way. Decisions, decisions. We have an Ace hardware and Radio Shack in town, so usually I hit those first, unless there is something I need at the big stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclainb Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I usually hit Walmart first and then over to Sear's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhockman Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Mine used to be The Disney Store until they stopped doing the beanie thing. I always manage to get a snowglobe or two from JC Penney, but it's not usually the first store I hit. This year I guess it will depend on the deals and what I still need by then....guess I didn't really answer the question, did I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
