woohoo, first voter! :)

 

i'm usually in line around 4-5pm, depending on the store opening time. since i am always by myself, i just picked one store that i really wanted the most things from and make sure that i'm near the front of the line so i can get in, get my stuff and get out of there quickly.

2 years ago I went out shopping and we got in line at 5am. Best Buy and Dick's Sporting Goods are in the same area, so we split up (2&2) and got everything we were all shopping for. We we #16 & 17 in line at Best Buy and my wife and her sister were 5&6 at Dick's.

in madison there is no way you can get that small of a number at 5am at best buy and officemax. those two places are packed very early. that's actually one of the reasons why i don't go to BB again on BF, i'm just going to waste a lot of my time in line (in the cold too) while i could have gone in and out other stores and got what i wanted.

Usually arrive around 4am, depending on the time of the sale.

 

This year I'm looking for a really good buy on a new computer. I'd camp out if the price is right... lol

That won't happen anymore. I like to leave about 1/2 hour early for work on BF just to drive by the stores and see how many people are lined up. Last year I drove by BB at 5:30am, and the line was well winding through the parking lot. I'm guessing there were around 200 people there waiting to get in.

I think your fellow BF shoppers would agree. If the price is right, a few extra hours in line is worth the sacrifice.

 

Just imagine if there is a desktop PC with monitor for $99 or laptop for $199.

I usually arrive around 3:30 or 4. The malls are pretty crowded around here, although for the last 2 years we have been going to one that is kinda out of the way, so its a little less crowded, and has all other stores within 10 minutes.

Last year, I think I got in line at BestBuy around 2:30 or so? I was about the 4th person in line.

Im always in line by 4:40. Unfortunately, so is everyone else around here. Kmart always has the longest lines at that time. People get really mean at that time of morning when they want something cheap. Ive had people actually try and jerk things out of my hand! About that time the monster comes out in me. I can kick and jerk as good as the next one!!!:fryingpan

I am NOT a morning person so I refuse to get up before 4am. It works out fairly well as most of the family is satisfied to be at the store at 5am. Hopefully most deals will be the same price and free shipping on the web then I won't have to go freeze my buns and nose off. My husband wants a huge theater TV. He will get up early for that 4 sure.

Unfortunately, the closest any of the good stores are, are about 1 hour 20 mins away, so I have to pull myself off my pillow about 1:30-2am to be in line around 4am. But, yes there is a BUT...I love it!!!!:greenappl

Longest drive I ever have to make is about 20 minutes (it pays to live in a big, commercial city). There's virtually every big BF store within that radius (though I don't have a CostCo or Fry's).

I think this year, 3 at the latest at the Matteson IL Walmart. depending on the sales.... I've found in the last year or so, that most places you can go 30 minutes max past opening and still get deals...for big ticket? Like me this year,. CAMPING out. Period...

I'll definetely camp out!!! As I'll have to drive from Orlando to Ft Lauderdale to shop at BrandsMart, I'll leave Orlando around 9-10 PM, to arrive there between 1 and 2 AM. Maybe then I'll be able to go to a second store and get more deals...:gd_devild

For a deal like that I'd get in line today, and then buy TWO!

I too have to drive 70 miles to get to the "big city". I usually get up around 2:30 though and out the door by 3. In the lines by 4:30.
