I believe that all of the Kmarts are gone from my area. I remember getting some good deals on some soundbars before they closed.

Welp, the Kmarts in my area have survived the cut and will see another BF...we shall see what the deals look like this year... and 800 stores, yeah that's a shocker...
Our K-Mart is still going strong. We are in an area that it is a big store here. All we have is Kmart, Lowes, Home Depot and Walmart a couple of little stores 2 Dunkin Donuts, several auto stores, tire stores, cigarette shops about 6, and fireworks stores.
Our K-Mart is actually clean, and has decent sales. The are quite busy

I think the Kmart near me survives because there is no WalMart near it, have to go across town about 15 mins in either direction, not far, but when you're talking convenience Kmart wins...there is a Target up the road though and that's where I'd rather go if I dont feel like going to Wally World...Our K-Mart is still going strong.

Ooh.... But I'm actually debating not doing Black Friday this year??? (Turns tail and runs from the rotten tomatoes being flung)
Just not much I need that will be on sale this year. Mid way thru building our house. Kid does NOT need anything after my consignment sale shopping spree this week, most of my shopping is done... Might do the mall for BBW but that's really it unless the ads are spectacular. And I'll probably go after the rush to Wal-Mart but it's probably the last year we'll have my dad. I want to enjoy dinner with him and our family instead of rushing.
Does posting in the t-shirt club count Brad?

Okay folks, it is September! Time to get this party started. I understand some of us are suffering from product saturation but it only takes that ONE ad to start the Black Friday frenzy!

I generally do all of my BF shopping on line. The way it has been for the last few years, the sales go live so early that you can finish your online shopping before Thanksgiving dinner. On Friday, it's always Petsmart and maybe Rite Aid.

I believe that the online component has advanced to the point that there should be no argument about Thursday sales interfering with the holiday.

I have a feeling this year is going to mostly online shopping for us. We are in a small town now and the closet area for us to go to B&M stores will be about an hour. Only real stores around here are WalMart which we will wander through on Friday LONG after the sales have been on so I don't expect much from there and Lowe's which I think I've been in once on BF.

I plan to start the first t-shirt contest and open the other BF sub-forums next Monday the 10th. I'll also start taking orders for shirts that day as well as post the annual BF forum giveaway details, so that day will kind of be the official start of the BF season here on GD.
I removed last year's ads from the BF site this morning and I'm working on a bunch of other stuff behind the scenes to get ready for this year with an even larger focus on the online sales as many of you have discussed in here.

Just noticed that the Wal-Mart here unloaded some of their shipping containers where most of their BF and Xmas merchandise is stored every year. It's almost BF time.
Ha! I love seeing those shipping containers! My Dad was a trucker and retired from Walmart Distribution many years ago but he still tells stories of hauling all the BF merchandise around the area. I think he secretly loved it though. LOL

I have been finding all kinds of deals over the past few months and we are almost half way done shopping now. I think by the time BF hits the only thing we will be out shopping for is DVDs and clothes.

Nothing wrong with that. Makes the day more relaxed.

I'm actually done with my son aside from his stocking! I've been shopping since March though. I like spreading out the buying. Know what I getting for pretty much everybody, or already have it.
I need a deal on Ancestry kits though!

Waiting to see what TV/laptop deals will pop this year. My laptop appears to be on its last legs and I don't want to be computerless! lol Other than that, not much I'm on the hunt for, save for new (smaller) clothes for myself, as I keep shrinking out of mine! (YAY!)
For those curious: Kitty in my pic is current furbaby, Mew, curled up in a box far too small for her. Ha! "If I fits, I sleeps!"
NASCAR fan (particularly JGR pit crews - many friends there), diehard UM Wolverine fan, animal lover, car girl, cookie baker, singer, bargain hunter. Yep. That about covers it. lol

Hello everyone! I'm getting excited, not only for BF, but the holidays, in general! Looking forward to Monday when the sub-forums open, too. I don't know yet what I'll be looking for as far as my 2 girls yet, but I do know I need new household items and small appliances, so we'll see.

I think we will end up doing a lot online this year, we moved back to FL this year and to a smaller town this time. No real stores we shop outside of Wal-Mart are near us and I probably won't want to drive an hour to the ones we used to go to. That and part of the family is back in MI so it's just easier to have things sent there.
