Brad Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Rather than have everyone post their own separate thread detailing their experience shopping on Thursday & Friday, we're going to do what we always do and have this one main thread. If you post your experience in a separate thread, we're either going to merge it in here or delete it, so if you want to make sure you don't do all that typing for nothing, make sure it goes in here. Thanks PS - Feel free to post what you've ordered online as well.

tehlilone Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) My purchases so far... and I'll update throughout the day/weekend Last Updated: 8:55 PM PST Best Buy @ 11 PM PST on 11/21/12- Killzone Trilogy with Controller ($39.99)- Supernatural Season 7 ($9.99)- Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Blu-ray ($3.99)Plus we had reward zone certificates that we used Check out was fast and easy and I got my confirmation e-mails & checked the status recently. They're getting them ready to ship. Just waiting on those shipping confirmation e-mails now. Amazon@ 12:20 PM PST on 11/22/12- Brave Blu-ray 3-Disc set ($8.96)Apparently, I had a fast connection because it sold out REALLY fast. Glad I won't have to hunt this down at Wal-Mart Wal-Mart @ 12:37 PM PST on 11/22/12- LG 3D Blu-Ray Player w/ WiFi ($68.00)They have special "insider" event you got to by clicking a link in their email that let you buy certain in-store doorbusters online. Free shipping to your home with orders over $45 also The only thing that sucked about WM is the amount of "in-store only" products they have this year @the store on 11/22/12I got to the store at about 7:15 PM. Parking was okay. Inside, it was crowded and people were walking everywhere trying to find what they were looking for. I asked an associate where the Blu-Rays and DVDs were since they didn't have it listed on the map but she didn't know where. She mentioned probably by electronics. Electronics said probably by auto. Auto said probably by electronics. Finally found another customer that had seen the pallets which were between the clothes and jewelry area. People started tearing into the DVDs about 15 min early and while some of us had reservations of opening the pallets without the employee's okay someone (not sure who) screamed to open them and everyone did. So I grabbed when I needed (really easily) and headed to the guy clothes nearby then the game line. They opened the area to everyone before I got to the front of the line but I was still able to nab all but one game I needed. I hate that I couldn't find a single basket in the store. They only had carts available (I think they stored all baskets away or something). After that I swung by the DVDs and Blu-Rays again and checked out.- (Blu-Ray) Battleship ($8.96)- (Blu-Ray) Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter ($8.96)- (Blu-Ray) Rise of the Apes ($3.96)- (Blu-Ray) Battle: LA ($3.96)- (Blu-Ray) Anastasia ($3.96)- (DVD) Taken ($1.96)- (PS3) Batman: Arkham Asylum ($10.00)- (PS3) SOCOM 4 ($10.00)- (PS3) Call of Duty: World at War ($10.00)- Skylanders Giants GID ($9.96)- Men's clothes ($8.00 each) @the store on 11/23/12Went back in the afternoon (around 4:30 PM) on Black Friday. There was still a considerable amount of Blu-Rays and DVDs left. Not much of anything else though. I ended up finding a few Triple Feature Blu-Rays I didn't see earlier. - (Blu-Ray) Triple Feature: Hangover, Hangover 2, Over Due ($9.00)- (Blu-Ray) Triple Feature: Goonies, Gremlins, Gremlins 2 ($9.00) I headed to our local mall after Wal-Mart. Thanks to the earlier Black Friday times, TONS of people were at the mall. And when I say tons of people, I mean a bunch of adolescent kids running around in groups being rowdy and annoying. Victoria's SecretThe wait time was horrendous. I stood in line to get in the store starting at 11:30 PM. Got into the store at 12:40 AM (they opened at 12 AM). Got what I wanted and stood in line (about 20 min) to get into the room where you can get in line for one of the registers (another 30 min wait). It was ridiculous.- 2 Bras (BOGO 1/2 off)- Free Tote Bag Bath & Body Works- Wallflowers refill sets for $5 each (x4)- Anti-Bacterial Soap (6 for $20)- VIP Tote bag ($20) My mom was tired (I told her not to come if she was too tired but she still wanted to) So I didn't end up going anywhere else. Went home and slept. Went out to JCPenney around 1:30 PM to get some pins. So far, I've gotten a $5 off $5 purchase. Edited November 24, 2012 by tehlilone BF Update!

jakesmommy403 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) I did most of my shopping online this year due to illness, and then ventured out to a few stores at noon today. I'm so happy with everything I got! The deals were sweet this year! I got those wii games at black Friday prices a couple weeks ago so I didn't have to worry about those. Here we go: Amazon: Fibber $82 Play Doh Diggin Rigs sets $7 eachMelissa and Doug Habitat Sticker Set $52 Happy Nappers Dragons $7.50 eachDespicable Me $5The Lorax $4Megamind $6Rio $5Transformers Dark of the Moon $6Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs $9Vampire Diaries Season 3 $10Set of 12 Minecraft buttons $9Dremmel Trio Rotary Tool $45Vtech ABC Text and Go $9Madden '13 $25Medal of Honor Warfighter for ps3 $30 Kmart in store:Borderlands 2 $20 (had a $15 coupon) Target in store:Hot Wheels Super 6-lane raceway!

dbell1 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Kohl's yesterday - the Nikon camera ($42 after 15% off), a comforter $26 - both shipped to my sister in TX. Went back and bought the Ninja ($39), pjs for me and my mom, 3 'big one' fleece throws ($9), and silver earrings ($17) - will use the $45 kohls cash to finish out mom's clothing list. Today, my teen finally gave me his list, knocked off 5 video games. He's also getting the $50 Galaxy III phone, and a bunch of other video game related things. Our deal is that I get to pick a bunch of surprise items based on what I find on sale - I'm the deal queen, and know what he likes. He's also getting some tools he asked for. Bought the 32 Samsung ($247) from Dell. Free shipping - that's going to sister too. She made out well this year. I was going to wait to see if I could get a cheaper one, but the off brand names aren't my favorites. Lowes online - got the Werner aluminum workstations (17 down from 44), batteries and flashlights. Amazon - didn't get Brave, but did get a few games and things for my kindle. Ebay - 1 book (was $20 more on Amazon!), scarves, an acupressure mat for me, and some random stocking stuffers. Waiting for the 6pm sale tomorrow, I love their shoe brands. Also hoping for good stuff from Sephora and Philosophy. After that, I'm done. I'm proud of me this year - I'm only spending cash. I refuse to pay off things into next year. Learned my lesson the hard way on that one...

ewiz06 Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I have passed on everything so far. I want to buy something bad but I can't find anything I HAVE to have. It is driving me crazy. I will probably go to BestBuy at midnight tonight to get the XBox 360 Holiday bundle for $199 (I can order still order it online but I want to play it tomorrow). Would have liked to have gotten one of the TV deals but I have no TVs I need to replace right now. I'm stocked up on flash drives and memory cards. Darn it!!!!
indallas Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Got the DISHONORED game today on Amazon for $25.00. Going to Gamestop at midnight so DS(16) can trade in his XBOX360, kinect and 45 games to get a PS Vita. Think DS just finished my Christmas shopping without me spending anything, LOL!!

TNHunter Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Went to Dollar General and nabbed a few dozen Hot Wheels for .41 each. Wal Mart failed to pull the xbox online cards, skylander giants game and figures, and other games so I grabbed those and checked out at 5PM and got the sale prices.
alexac Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I just bought my husband a metal detector on Amazon. That's the only way I am going to get any jewelry out of him!

leefamily23 Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Went to Walmart at about 8:10, luck was shining down because got an easy parking spot right away by the entrance. The place was packed but very orderly. First time ever I seen them do a line up for the video games and movies. Lines at the registers were non-existent. I was in and out in less than an hour w/ the most time being spent in the video game line. Was able to get: -Several Xbox games-Baby Alive Wets & Wiggles-2 of the Recipe tins-The Rubbermaid Storage Set Couldn't get the men's pajama pants those were gone & the 5 piece candle sets were gone. Going to bed in awhile and heading back out at 4-5am-ish to go to the mall , Penney's opening and then stopping at Office Max on the way home.
Danascraps Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Just got back from Michaels and Walmart.... Got some paper pads at Michaels... then off to brave the chaos of Walmart. Got everything on my list there, except the $3 tin of crockpot recipes. Got 2 pogos for #13, rubbermaid set for $9, 2 Sandisk cards, all 8 Harry Potter movies for $16, $2 each! and lots more. Checkout was disorderly, but didnt' take too long. Got there at 9 out by 1030.
samisma Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 i wanted one thing, and one thing only. since it sold out early on bestbuy.com, and since walmart didn't do the sale price online - i headed to our local walmart (which isn't in the best of areas). i watched people get into fist fights over video games and computers, but i was just one of 3 people in line for my item. so.. i walked out with: Nabi 2: $138.79 (price after tax). And I behaved and got just that! Was done and out the door by 8:15! And I'm so excited, because we do the 4 gifts thing for our kids since so many other people spoil them. This is the present from Santa (along with matching bright red headphones). That leaves me with just a book, pjs, and a bath set to get. (want, need, read, and wear!). Plus candy for the stocking. And I can get all of these in plenty of time since our local walmart is going out of business I'll get it all there in a week or two
