So far... the deals suck...

So far... the deals SUCK... there isn't anything I'd really want to stand in line at 4-6am for

this year... :-( boo hoo!

 

I was expecting the suspense for some hot product to see a really cheap price, but so far it's been very lack-luster... over 90% of the products you see advertised for BF have been sold online for similar prices... the only difference is you get up early in the morning and you can buy it from your brick and mortar retailer for the same price PLUS SALES TAX. Very ideal.

NOT!!!!

 

Unless Walmart or the others who haven't leaked yet go OVERBOARD.. I'm sleeping IN.

(walmart, cc, staples, bb, etc) This just might be the year to boycott BF. The SKY-HIGH

GAS prices aren't helping my enthusiasm either!

I was already thinking the same thing!! Unless I find some great deals in the up coming ads, I might be doing MOST of my shopping online this season. My gas is now up over 3.26 and is climbing. The 3.26 gas station was out of the regular so you would have had to use the next one which was 3.49!!!!!!! It may just be cheaper to stay home and shop this year. 8o(

I agree, I haven't yet seen any deals worth going out for. I am hoping that Target, Meijer, Kmart Walmart and TRU will have some good deals to get me out on BF. I hope more ads come out soon. A deal on transformers or PS2 games may get me out. If not, I guess I will just shop online to save money on the gas prices as the nearest stores are 30 miles away from me. The Walgreen's ad seemed disappointing to me this year, hopefully once the full scan is up, there may be a reason to stop by that store.

So far, I'm very pleased -- actually more than last year. The quality of the deal depends on what you need or want. Unless of course, you're looking to sell BF items on eBay. In that case, it doesn't matter if you need it or want it, what matters is only the price and if you can turn around and sell it for a nice profit on eBay.

Good it's not me! I thought I was the only one who thought that all these so called deals stink, stank, stunk! So, far I only have bought 6 gifts for my 3. I got those in the begining of the year when they were having really good deals. I remember when KBtoys use to email me in Oct or Nov where they put all these toys for sale for 9.99. I mean the really expensive stuff, not the junky ones like they have now. These past years it's been bad, so I don't wait any more I try to buy throughout the year now!

Even if they all suck, I will still go. I love the rush of getting up real early and fighting the crowds. I can't break tradition.

Last year was my first BF experience. It was my daughter's 1st xmas, which she was only 3 months. I still wanted to get up and go. It was the first one I really didn't have to work. My mom stayed home and watched my daughter and me and my boyfriend went out. We didn't really get that much stuff, but I loved being out in all the action and the excitement of xmas right around the corner. I love it. I am waiting on the big ads too. But even if there is nothing really good this year, I will still go out just for the heck of it. My mom doesn't understand why I would want to be out in that mess. It's fun though!! I am sure I will end up buying some things anyway too.

And then they'd complain that the lines were too long. http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/LOL/N1Groaner.gif

 

So who's staying home?
