wyntyrose Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Is anyone shopping here first? I know that with Walmarts stupidity this year I am going to probably hit there first then Target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaven Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 My husband just retired from the Air Force and we moved back to So. Cal. We are 45 minutes away from the base, so sadly I will not be going there first. However, I would recommend it first, since they price match and usually have a great doorbuster. Enjoy!!

wyntyrose Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 I miss So Cal., I hope you aren't near the fires. Thanks for the info I did not know they would PM, they are definitely my first stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyntyrose Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 I just got the newsletter from the exchange here at Fort Drum, they are opening at 1 am on Black Friday. I am so excited, I can probably get most my shopping done here before anywhere else opens. Woo hoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpr Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I've never seen many 'had-to-have' at the BX/PX/NEXs. I hit them last. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masilke Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Kandy here is the lowdown..........PX does not start until 6 am this year. Check the latest Aafes flyer. They are talking about $20 GC to the first 100 customers, one per family, with many give aways in the pm, who wants to hang around until the afternoon?..... I will not wait in line at 6 am ...... I need to be in Dothan...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpr Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I have had some good deals around BF. At the NEX, each Fri or Sat night for several weeks(I can't remember before or after), they have had some late night specials. I got the Sony portable 8 in DVD player for $79 last year. It retails for almost $200. I got a 5MP Fuji camera for $89. So they have some good deals, just not on BF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booterbunz Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 A couple of years ago at AAFES Fort Carson, 3 days in a row they gave out $20 giftcards to the first 50-100 people. I got 1 each day..$60 free, so it was worth it for me to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 1 each day..$60 free, so it was worth it for me to go.We did this at Sears one year. Got several over a few weeks. My wife won the 'Grand Prize' of a $500 gift card to use in any department. We bought a large Sony HDTV. Regular rice was $1800. They didn't have the model we originally wanted(a Panasonic) so they offered us a choice of any other for $1400. We bought it on a Saturday and they had a special, $100 off any TV before noon. Now it's down to $1300. Minus the $500 card = $800. Plus a few more cards at $20 each and we walked out paying less than $700 out of our pocket for an $1800 HDTV. That is a DEAL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjacket97 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I was planning on going to the Fort Benning PX and try to score another gift card this year. Their new PX is slated to open on BF. Not sure I want to risk that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4gr8girls Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I have never gone to the BX on BF because we normally go home. This year we are too far form home so I will be there with all my ads and hopefully in line for the GC. Do you know if you have to have an ID to get the GC? My cousin will be with me and it would be sweet if she could get one. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommyoftwo Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I know at my BX they only gave the gift cards to people with ID's. My store also ran specials that were not in the ads but were emailed to people the day or two before the BF. They were really great too (75% off purses, %75 all Christmas items, etc.) It was well worth my time there....I came out with way more than I had planned but paid way less than I would have any other day.

turner577 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I usually hit the PX on Saturday with my daughter...it makes up for being away all day Friday and we shop for her friends/ dad, etc. gifts plus she gets the GC and we have a girl's day out and my husband rest at home. I believe it opens at 5am. I can't go there on Friday because every other store is a 2 hour drive away.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon1 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Ditto, where's the add? Have in past waited with always a cheery bunch of folks in 20+ degree weather till they passed out the $__ coupons to the first 100 folks. But if the word is open early, & the prices are good, I may scratch all and drive the 50+ miles to wait in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kandy Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 i have to drive 50 miles either way to rucker or benning. I've not done BF on benning just rucker.... I'd love to see the ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyntyrose Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 i think I will be taking a trip to the exchange at lunch today.

That may be why I have never heard of them. I dont know any military, and it is an hour to the closest base. Sorry, hopefully this clears it up for anyone else as uninformed as I was.
