kmbrly Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Just drove through my WM and the parking lot is deserted. I came home to change clothes and head back that way.
mccabefamily29 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Do you live in a big town or small ?
kmbrly Posted November 24, 2006 Author Posted November 24, 2006 Decent size town about 1/2 way between West Palm Beach and Ft Lauderdale. The WM that I'm going to is what we call the "old people" WM. Just a regular WM, not a supercenter, and it's where all the old people shop from all the many many 55+ neighborhoods around here.
mccabefamily29 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Yeah not a big town here and not a super center either. I am waiting on my sister in law to get off at 10 and we are heading over...hope we are early enough to be first. Last year the first people got there at about midnight.
savaladez Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Just curious... be first for what?...line for what?
elena_398 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 My Walart is 24 hours so its always open. Lines Im sure would have started in the electronics department. Luckily I don't need anything there. Heading to Walmart around 12:30am.
mccabefamily29 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Getting in line first for the goodies. Last year the people at the front of the line let hordes of thier friends cut.
elena_398 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I have 3 Walmarts in my area (all pretty close). 2 are 24 hour ones where you don't have to wait in the cold. 1 you do have to stand in line. God only knows why, but people still do. LOL. You'd think they would go to the 24 hour ones. At least I am
jarerice Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 We are getting there at 12:00!!!! I'm so excited!!!! This is my DH first BF. I don't think he has any idea of what he's in for!!!!! I dreamed about shopping last night!!!! I can't wait. I keeping looking at the clock!!!! Good Luck everyone!!!! Happy BF!!!
bellastarr Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I'll be heading to my WM around 3:30, I got there last year at 2:00 and I was the only one there. I'm sure this year it wont be bad b/c there aren't that many deals. Hope everyone has a wonderful BF shopping day!!
elena_398 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I keep checking the clock too. lol. Drinking some coffee right now to keep me awake. I was up at sunrise today so already dragging butt. lol. Once I get into the store though, Im sure my adrenaline will kick in

8truths Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Last year was bad because of the laptop. This year, BB and CC decided to go lower than Wal-Mart. And Wal-Mart is going to feel the pain as a consquence. If BB were closer (it's well over an hour away) or if I didn't snag the Wally laptop last year, I'd be at Best Buy. Instead, I'm doing Wally, maybe Staples and then going online to get anything I need for upgrades. Of course, NewEgg.com computer parts are like BF everyday, so...
kmbrly Posted November 24, 2006 Author Posted November 24, 2006 I got there at 9:30. No one else showed up until after 11pm when a non English speaking guy showed up. Then around midnight 2 girls showed up. They stayed in the truck and slept until others started showing up at almost 4am!!! I was first in line. They came out around 4:30 giving us the rules. No shoving, no pushing, no running. We were told that if anyone broke these rules they would not hesitate to lock the store and call the police. Yep, we were a rowdy bunch (not).... By 4:45 there were about 30 people in line. They passed out tickets, which was good, because the TV I was there to get they only had two of them, and with the no running, pushing, shoving rule my sitting there all night might have been wasted if someone was faster than me. I paid for it picked it up, and was on my way home by 5:15am. Gonna take a nap now. Been up since 6 yesterday morning. I might venture out later today.
bru123 Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 My mom and I got there about 4:15am and there was already a huge line outside. We got right on it and waited for 45 mins. At least we didn't need electronics. Went right to toys and grabbed Thomas Giant set and Creativity Center. We did witness some stuff though. A little 6 year old guarding 2 tv's while mom went and got a cart. I was then trampled by a woman and her cart. People were climbing over displays while the tv's were on their heads. Some poor woman had some guy tell her he was an associate and would help her carry one of her 2 tv's, and never came back. She was PISSED OFF! We had no wait at checkout, which was nice, because everyone was still fighting in the electronics dept.
