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.

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.

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

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.

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

Dont feel bad! I drive about 1 hr 20min also! I usually sleep until around 1:30 or 2, and out the door! You are not alone!

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...

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