kas3 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I was just thinking, I have been looking around at the ads posted here, and so many of the prices seem to be everyday prices. What are the stores doing? Sure, they have some doorbusters, and a few sale prices, but I'm just not seeing a lot of low, low prices that make me want to get out there at 2 am. Is it just me?

Guest all2tired Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 It's not just you but there are a few things that I need that happen to be a good deal, so I will be standing in line. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess7915 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 What I have noticed is that a lot of big stores are already having sales!! Kohls is a big one where I am that is having big sales now, as well as Hechts. Does this mean BF sales will be even better or that they are not planning on have big BF sales and we are better off shopping early??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holly2hottie Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I have been thinking the same things that you guys have. I thought the whole idea was to draw people into the store. Regular prices won't do that. They need to step it up!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyancody Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Thats funny because I was thinking that to! Nothing has jumped out at me like last year! $18 DVD players last year jumped out at me! Nothing has JUMPED at me yet.. ............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridasun5 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 As of right now, I'm still in the "do I really want to go out" mode. I can get a laptop online for only the cost of shipping more than camping out for hours in front of a store. There is nothing else on my list that is imperative that I get on BF that I wont be able to get deals for elsewhere before Christmas. So unless Best Buy comes out with a really good, cant pass up deal, then I might even sit this BF out and sleep in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sperdue Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I agree as well, seems compusa's stuff is about the same as on their site now and I hate mail in rebates. I don't think I can stand in line 2 hours again at best buy this year, so I was REALLY hoping compusa would be the bomb. It is cool they're opening at midnight though.

elena_398 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I haven't thought or said "WOW" yet. The only thing Im excited about is the $48 SP systems at Walmart. Thanks about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I really saw there that I really want is the 200 gig hard drive for $30 after rebate. The rebates are a pain in the wazoo, but I have done them before, so I guess I can do them again.

Thanks about itI'll have to wait for Kmart's Thanksgiving Day sale ad. I have noticed that in recent years, their prices have been awesome. Oh, and I think they are the ones having the Cinderella DVD for only $13 on BF. I hope I can get one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I am not driving 30 minutes for one item!True enough. We drive to a central location where all the stores are. It's about 40 minutes from here (hence my post on the "target wake up call"!) I got a killer gateway desktop system at best buy last year at a super price, but after waiting in line 2 hours, I just wanted to check out and move on. Instead, I was harassed by the GEEK SQUAD MAFIA to buy surge protectors, battery back ups, extended warranties, etc. I was actually MAD when I left there and it wasn't due to the wait.

Maybe Best Buy and Circuit City will have better prices.I can only hope...went out price comparing today and there was nothing that great. ESPECIALLY if you're going for resale value. I hope Best Buy pulls through with some great ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat4321 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I saw some dell ads that had better price then BF price in Walmart. Dell is selling some of their desktop computer with monitor at $299 AR. I am seriously thinking about skipping Walmart BF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopping mom Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I am still hoping for some good ads. Two of the kids want CD players for their cars installed. I want a 12 inch bike, and Step2 or Little Tykes kitchen. I just keep hoping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandyJervas Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I keep hoping that target, kmart, tru, and kbtoys will be better especially since hubby is fighting so hard to get off. I'd like to make my trip worthwhile. Hopefully I can PM at my BX I guess it all depends on their mood. I'm getting impatient. I can't wait.

ebony0421 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I can't not go out on bf. I have seen some o.k. things, but not super great. Maybe the other stores will have better prices and maybe there will be manager specials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that is frustrating, but do you realize how much pressure salespeople are under to sell those things? I used to work at Sears, and it was a huge thing to sell protection plans to customers. The big bosses were always looking at our percentages, and they were never happy with what they saw, so they yelled at the district manager, who yelled at my boss, who tried really hard to motivate us. But what are you going to do when customers just don't want them? I'm not going to push! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanam Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 i still feel with the ads being published, we shouldnt miss out on the sales that are happening these days.. you might just end up getting a good deal. so keep a look out on the recent sales as well. macy's will have a big sale this weekend ...

burmafrd Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 As it gets closer to BF, the pressure on the stores to cut prices increase. We still have 2 weeks+ to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristmasShopping Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 As it stands right now, I will go to Wal-Mart for the Cabbage Patch dolls and then maybe to Walgreens but nothing stands out as WOW .. hoping some of the other ads contain those WOW items I am looking for!

tyler99199 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 The gameboy at Wal-Mart for 48.88 will have me there early.The Care Bears for 5.00 is also nice. And maybe the Coolwater perfume at Walgreens for 9.99. But hoping there is still a surprise in store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
