~Hannah~ Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Belks is a department store very common in the southern and western states, for those of you who have not heard of it. I did a search and did not find anything listed on deals for BF at Belks, so I thought I would ask if anyone is in the know. Or based on last year, what might we expect? I picked up some really cute Christmas decorations during the recent $10 off a $10 coupon sale, and I'm hoping for a repeat some time! Thanks!
redjacket97 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 The Belk I shopped at last year (in Valdosta, GA) had some fair sales. It was mainly on clothes, stuff like 40% off + an extra 30% off "red-dot" merchandise. I got a cute jacket last year. I'm not expecting anything big at Belk this year on BF, but I'll check them out after I leave Target. I usually find better deals at Belk (in Valdosta, GA and Macon, GA) during mid-December.
~Hannah~ Posted November 18, 2005 Author Posted November 18, 2005 Redjacket, I have family in Valdosta! Small world! Can you tell me if the lines were bad last year at Best Buy or any other stores in Valdosta? My MIL might make the plunge into BF shopping this year, and I'm not sure what to tell her to expect.
redjacket97 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Let's see here.... My mom, my dad and I decided to divide up the shopping. I went to Target. I got there at 4:00 AM and was fourth in line. By 5:15 AM, the line was to the end of the parking lot. My mom went to Goody's. I think they opened at 5:00. When she got in line at 4:15, she said she was near the front. By the time the store opened, the line was all the way back to the Steak N' Shake restaurant. After she left Goody's, she got in line at Sears since they opened at 6:00. They had multiple lines at all the doors. It was pandemonium when the store opened. They were giving away some $10 off coupons and she was at the wrong door and didn't receive one. My dad was the unfortunate soul who went to Wal-Mart. He was allowed inside, but the "pallet rule" (no purchases from the pallets in the center of the store until 6:00 AM) was in effect. By the time 6:00 hit, there was a mad rush to the pallets. I had other relatives that went to Toys R Us and they said the line was terrible. The main thing to expect is the long line. The later you get there, the longer the line. And of course, the stores will be jam-packed. It's amazing how crowded Belk was at 7:00. Hope this helps...and good luck next week. I'll be at Target again.
cmh1919 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Hello, I shopped in Belk's last week and they put a BF flier in my bag. It said 133 Doorbusters. I can't wait to see the ad! Chrissy
