holidayjunkie Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 The past few years, it's been Walmart, but will just have to wait to see what this years ads bring...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scanner420 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 The past five years it's been TRU, KayBee, Target and WM. This year may change since they're opening WM and Target stores a mile from my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yakyma Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Since there is a group of us someone or a few go go to Walmart, Target, One or two of the Office stores, depending on who has the best deals...Then off to the Mall to meet up with everyone.

cherry33778 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 For me Walmart is ALWAYS first then its just pit stops at Best Buy, Staples, etc. (It depends whats on sale and what I want) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb7706 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 We usually hit circuit city first since it seems to be open first and not as crazy as best buy and then target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wx4svr Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Best Buy... if you aren't there early, your out of luck. Thats how it is around here. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess7915 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Usually Kohls is first in our list. By then the malls are open and we hit whatever department store has the next best ad. Unless DH is looking for any tools that the Sears ad has then the game plan will change and Sears will be first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arci122 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I need some ads Brad! lol. Then I can make my plans. One key ingredient in the plan every year, avoid Walmart at all cost (most of the time we can do this). Especially with their BF ad threats. Go Target!!!

jarerice Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Walmart. I am hoping for a good laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julz0420 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 We always hit Wal Mart first only because its the first store here that opens and we dont need to go to best buy usually. So this year it'll be probably like last year: wal mart, target, sears (depending on deals), walgreens, ace hardware, home. Then back to wal mart, toys r us, mall stores, target again lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w1df10wr Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Probably Kohl's. It is in the same plaza as Target. After that, not sure yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbwolfer Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 It depends on the ads for me. I've gone to Walmart first one time. That was my first BF. Now I usually head to the mall first. Our mall opens at 3 a.m on BF. So I go there first for KB Toys and then head to Target or Kohls. Last year I went to KB, then Kohls because they opened at 5 am. We got there just as they opened. Then we headed to Target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmie0712 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I think this year we will hit Target first, but then again, it depends on who has the best deals on what I'm looking for or want... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgleason Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Staples just opened a store in town. I can't wait to see what they will have. It may be fun to start somewhere new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa0477 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I always go to Target first. That is where I get almost all of my Christmas. Every single time I wait until later to go to Walmart, they still have the stuff I want and there is hardly ANYONE there. That has happened for me these past two years.

Canadian Shoppe Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) We start at Penny's (the main mall in GF); then do the rest of the stores there. From there it depends on the ads and where the person driving wants to go. In the past 2 years I have gone to Walmart later and asked if they had a specific special left (last year it was DVD player) and lucky enough they had more in back.

conleybunch Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 it depends on the ads, but usually meijer and then a quick trip to Target to get price adjustments, sears, and kohls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennie_bebe Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Best Buy...I hope. Last year despite everyone's warnings I did CC...and boy did I regret that! If BB has a good TV sale I'll go there...but I'll check with Ultimate Electronics to see if they will match it like they did last year first.

lwildey Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I always plan for me to be at Best Buy and the wife to be at Walmart but until the ads start showing up nothing is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToastyOasty Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Most of the time it's Walmart, but it just depends who has the best deals and what I'm looking for. And of course...how bad I want it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgb Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 It really depends on the sales. Last year we went to Kohl's first because they had the huge pillows and down comforters on sale and they opened at 4 I think. The year before that it was Wal Mart.

Bigbroad55 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Walmart since I have to drop my husband off at 3:30 for work, but I will not stay first I always go to Jcpenny since they oopen at 4 and then we go down to Sams Club for breakfast then back to Walmart.

Talama Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I avoid Wal-Mart like the plague. I don't need anything THAT badly...(bad past experience) We generally start at Sears for DH's yearly tool infusion, we have one near us, we get there about 10 mins after opening, no one seems to go there so we get everything we want. Next we go to Target, get there right at or after the opening, a crowd but nothing crazy, we split up the list and run around fast. BUT this year we have Kohl's finally in our area so maybe that will be stop 2 this year. After that IHOP for breakfast and then maybe 1 more store, usually Toys R Us or Penneys or some other such. Anyway generally home by 10 a.m. and get about 90% of what's on our list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
