Elmck Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Still here or gone, the store you will always have fond BF memories of going to and getting those great deals or just great memories? I am going to have to think about this one for a while?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cln29 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 KB Toys!My friend and I would hit Wards first to load up on kids clothes with the sale they had then head over to KB Toys. Always got what we wanted plus the 'extra' toys that were doorbusters. We shop for Toys for Tots and always had a load that people were amazed with. The people working there would help us split up our purchase to get more of the doorbusters as they were given out with a specific dollar amount spent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len_mullen Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 For me, it has always been Staples. I have never been interested in camping out. Where I live you could pull up just before opening and walk into Staples without missing out on the door busters. It's a little more competitive these days and the door busters are not as good, but I still have fond memories of waiting in line with the same people year after year.

connieh Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I always enjoyed going to Target for the free gift they handed out, been years since they have done that. Also enjoyed going to Sears for the free gift cards but they also stopped doing that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymacfla Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Best Buy of course! I will always have a sentimental favorite in CompUSA since their approach to Black Friday led me to believe that a ticketing system was the safest way to approach the holiday. No more pallet drama for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracy0504 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I still enjoy going to Kmart, even though there are only about 2 left in my area now...a friend and I ventured to a new one last year and it was the best time we had shopping @ Kmart...even though there were a lot of cars in the parking lot it didn't feel like the store was over crowded...we kept this location to ourselves, it's a little further out than the one right around the corner from us, but we knew everyone would now flock to that one...

Tara3117 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Remember the snow globes at JC Penney? That was fun! I have great memories of Kohl's, waiting in line for them to open. That's a must for me every year! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcwalker Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 My first store on my first couple of Black Fridays was Best Buy. But I would say that my favorite has varied from year to year, depending on where I got my top deal or a few key deals. Target and Kohls have each been a contender a number of years. Last year it was Office Max both online (new laptop and router) and in store (great deal on McAffee). I always get to Walmart at some point, though it is never my first store, and it is NEVER my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarta4 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Kmart was a favorite when they were still a thing around here. Kohl's has been my favorite the past few years...amazing prices and you get all that Kohl's cash to use later....can't beat it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a must for me every year!I use to love to go to Target get the free Hot Wheels and then see if it had a number on the back that matched the bonus gift list they had! Second would be the snow globes at JCP, as my sister collects snow globes so I would give it to her every year. JCP did have a fun game with the Christmas pins one year. You could get 1 pin per person per day from like Thanksgiving to Christmas day, I think. Then you entered the codes online at home to see what you won. Even if you didn't win anything the pins were fun to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassoon17 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I've always done well - and enjoyed - Target on BF. It's crazy but not Walmart crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanyon71 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Mine used to be Best Buy, now a days with it being Black Thursday I don't even go in there any longer. If they have something I try to grab it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotadenise Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Menards! It never fails to have some great deals, its usually very crowded, but I've never ran into a disrespectful or rude person there! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bopeep Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'd say our must shop varies year to year, depending on the ads. But a favorite store, and one we always made it to, was Gordman's. Unfortunately, they closed their doors this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doresia Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 We always have to go to Walmart, but definitely not my favorite. Gordman's was a favorite. We would go our separate ways, get out items and then meet back up in the line and just visit while waiting our turn to check out. Great times. I'm gonna miss that store 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikefree Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 We don't have a whole lot to choose from in my area. We always hit up Walmart or Meijer first, depending on what the "big" or "must have" item is. Menards is always one of the first as well. As someone mentioned above, Menards is always crazy busy, but they have TONS of stock and the people in there, customers and workers, are always friendly.

Love4Fashion Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I loved KB Toys when my son was younger. Standing in line filled with anticipation and excitement for all the goodies I was going to get! The last few years it has been Kohl’s (online) and Menards. I miss the old Black Friday days at Walmart and Target including all of its craziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danascraps Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Kohls online, and Target in person... most organized and friendliest people in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanShotFirst Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 So I'll be the odd one out and say Walmart. Full disclosure though....the store I go to is in a small town so it is a smaller Supercenter. It's like old home week Thanksgiving night because I always see high school classmates, former teachers, people from the church I grew up in. Makes the passage of time while standing in the various lines entertaining. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giraffe34 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Walmart is always my first choice. Next would be Target and Best Buy. I try to do those later on in the night to avoid too big of a crowd. I get all my big wants at Walmart and online before I go to Walmart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgreen Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Mine was always Wal-Mart! So many memories of waiting in line (before they had 24 hour Wal-Marts), watching the craziness that would go on in the line at 3 in the morning. Even recently, the craziness that goes on inside the store when they start ripping off the plastic wrap! And being able to price match which saved a few trips to other stores. We'll have to see this year. Wal-Mart is making a lot of changes. I might not even go there this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TazErase Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Best Buy without a doubt. Best deals on electronics, but often too crowded and almost always means camping out. Over the last few years though traffic has dropped drastically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelicswtnss Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Wal-Mart! That's always our first stop! It's a tradition.

I've done surprisingly well at resisting those small appliances although last year I ended up with that Better Homes and Gardens mixing bowls/measuring cup set. It's the cheap movies that always get me. Going to try to resist those this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
