neboo Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Does anyone else take advantage of Kmart Thanksgiving day deals? I know I saw a few people last year who said it was a tradition. Last year I had a great experience with it. It was kind of like a BF warmup in a way. There were probably about 100 people in line when the store opened and I got my ticket item so it was fun. I also found what I felt was the best 32" lcd deal with the Olevia at $420 based on the quality and name, etc. and didnt have to wait in line on BF. But anyways, based on my experience last year I may be going back to Kmart on Thanksgiving day again this year as they had some other good deals.
arci122 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 It's tradition. But they usually only have a handful of deals.
berry1014 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 We go shopping every year regardless of their sale. We didn't go a few years ago and the rest of the day just felt off. So it has become tradition to go.
dealdiva Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I've gone quite a few times (when I'm in town). They have some very good deals. It is like a warm up to BF. The store where I live is pretty quiet, no lines or anything.
Cheri0113 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I love going to Kmart......we usually head out once I get the turkey in the oven unless there are great deals. Then the turkey goes in once I get back.
alisa56jim Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I went last year for something and i was there at 6:00 am and was told they sold out and i asked how could that be the sale started at 6am and the guy there said there was people there at midnight sitting in chairs so they only had a few so they just let them have them so they would not have to sit there all night.
Yoppci Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 This is my first post; I'm a little nervous. Anyhow, we always wait until the ad for Friday comes out then we go do our shopping and scope out the Black Friday deals.
felixdacat Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 My wife and I were visting her parents in S. Florida last Thanksgiving and the KMart was only 10 minutes away. We got there and hour before the doors opened and were 2nd and 3rd on line. We got the Olevia 32" which has been fantastic, and we also got a Wii. This year we're spending T-day in Georgia, and the nearest KMart is 35 minutes away. But we'll be checking Gotta Deal, and if there's anything interesting, I'm sure we'll be heading that way.
MeliesMom Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I went to Kmart last year on Thansgiving. My stepmom wanted to go so she picked me up and we went. There were a few things I was considering on getting, just little toys on sale, but they were sold out when we got there. I ended up not buying anything but my stepmom got a few things. If there are good deals on things I want this year then yeah I will go again. Otherwise I'm gonna stay warm and toasty in my bed and save the freezing in the cold for BF!
zim05 Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 I went to Kmart last TG morning for the Wii and got it, I got there about 2am and was the second person. But unless they have something super-duper I'm not sure I will go this TG, it all depends on the ad!
Lvnlakers78 Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 I always go by myself. I actually enjoy waiting in the line visiting with the complete strangers. Ive always gotten what I have went for. This year I might not make it I might be working...hmmm maybe I will have to be late to work if there is a good deal I just HAVE to have!
Miss Star Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 I went to Kmart on TG last year, we usually always go there and Meijer's on TG, they both usually have some good deals worth going for.
leah_steven Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I go every year too!!! Last year I decided to "scope out" the BF sales, and maybe hide a few things !!!! But as I walked around, I noticed they had only a few items of what I wanted, so I went to the service desk and read the policy about price adjustment (that was clearly stated & hanging above the counter) and double checked with the manager....so I filled my shopping cart up with the items I wanted from the BF ad, checked out, and went back first thing the next morning, got my adjustment and went on to my next stop!!! What a piece of cake....I hope the one where I just moved will do it too.....
dbaby4ever Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I went for the first time last year and it was great. I got what I went for plus a few other items that were on sale that I didn't know about. It is definately worth going if they have what you are looking for. Plus the crowd is not near as bad as BF.
AndreaInNC Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I go every year .. I always get new pillows for the entire family on turkey day. And maybe a CD or 2.
johjstc Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Is my Kmart the only one NOT open on Thanksgiving???
KrystalMae1231 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 That's where I got my Wii last year. I am def going back. They don't have a lot of deals but the ones they do have are sure worth it for a pre BF warm up. Last year they had Disney digital cameras 2/19.99. That was less than BOGOF. My DD and DN loved them!!
BFQueenofNY Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Last Thanksgiving I sat in my car in the pouring rain:yup: at 5am to get one of the mp3 players and something else I can't remember. Then I got home, turned on the parade and started dinner:cheesy:

Haven't heard if they are going to have any deals.
stacy0479 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I went a couple of years ago for the Nintendo Game Boy Lite deal. They had it for $100 and it came with a couple of games. I haven't been back since. Haven't seen anything that would drag me there on Thanksgiving. I'm not a big fan of that store as it is.
nikkilugi Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Our KMart line was HUGE on Thanksgiving last year. There had to be at least 150+ people in line when we got there. I can do the huge crowd waiting in line thing once a year on BF - not interested in doing that on Thanksgiving. I will probably take the ad over to Wal-Mart and PM whatever I can that I might be interested in.
Cheri0113 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Last year we went for the BOGO sale on board games and I think there were DVD's we wanted......and of course, they always have 2 liter pops on sale this day to serve with dinner. I'm really getting excited....not too much longer.
dramaqueen72500 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Last year I went for a few things including the Disney cameras for 2/19.99. I was nine months pregnant but I figured no one was going to fight over them--boy was I wrong--I had a few crazy people push me out of the way and then one lady pulled my pony tail!!!! Grown women pulling hair!! Then I had someone take a camera out of my hand! I was so freaked out that I tried to get out of that place as fast as I could. I did end up getting my 2 cameras and everything else I went for so at least all the craziness wasn't for nothing. I would go again this year because now that I'm not preggo I can fight back!
MusicMama Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 We usually go for the clothing specials. Daughter has gotten new sweaters and turtlenecks, get gloves for ourselves and for charity, get pjs for all. We're pretty much out of the board game range as we've got the ones we like - although we did replace Life last year with the "Pirates" version. It's a tradition with us, so even if there's nothing we need, we still usually go.
