Mommaof4 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 So I wanted to get that Barbie Jet for my DD on thanksgiving. Any idea how they work those types of items?I've been going to Meijer on TG and BF for several years now and all of their doorbusters minus electronics of course, have been on pallets through the store, no tickets, no lines. Just the luck of the draw, however they do seem to have a decent stock of the doorbuster items, at least at the ones I visit. Good luck and hope this helps.

bigkahunafish Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 how do they do electronics? never been after anything like that there before but this year they have a dvd player i'd like to have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenirvt Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I heard on the radio this morning that Meijer is having Black Friday pricing on some items this weekend, Saturday, from 6AM til midnight. I have no idea what items they are, though. Just heard a radio ad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigkahunafish Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Meijer now has a "why wait doorbuster sale" up on their website for Saturday starting at 6AM.. good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansieDZ Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 how do they do electronics? never been after anything like that there before but this year they have a dvd player i'd like to have...IME,the electronics dept. is a nightmare! You know how it is always located at the furthest end of the store? Back in its own corner?It's nearly impossible to get a cart back there and the lines to even get in the dept. are looooong.Now,that's BF I'm talking about.Thanksgiving Day and Black Saturday are no problem if you get there early.As far as the DVD player goes,in the past,they have those stacked on pallets in the middle of the aisle before you get to the electronics dept (sometimes they are even in the middle of the aisles closer by the groceries).My advice is to park your cart farther away then walk to the area (like toys or electronics) and snag your prize.If you have a shopping buddy,it's even better.I've done all 3 days of Meijer's sales for years and those are the best tips I can think of right now.Oh,and even though the sale says it starts at "x"o'clock,you really can't get there early enough on BF!We got there one morning at 3:30 and it was already packed!Got everything I went for but the lines were crazy...checkout took like 45 minutes.(one last thing:if you don't get your DVD player on BF,check a different store on BS-you'd be surprised how one store sells out of one thing,but the others don't!)Good luck!

Thumper501 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I have never been at Meijer exactly when the sales start. Are things in pallets and then we have to wait to things at 5am? Would trees be on pallets or would they be in the seasonal section? 50% off is the best deal I have seen so far on Black Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogiporkchop Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Trees are in the seasonal section. Other items are on pallets down the main aisles. Certain items will only be brought to the floor when the sale officially starts. I say go early, get as much shopping out of the way as possible and be in a checkout line at 5am unless you need to get one of the doorbusters that won't be on the floor until then. That's likely what I'll be doing seeing how (for once) I don't need to be in line at BB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansieDZ Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I'm heading to Meijer at 4:30 tomorrow morning My sil wants the 32" tv and I'm getting that Leapster for DD4 no matter who I hafta kill (lol...j/k). I can't wait!I've already made my coffee and will just heat it up in the morning and I'm on my way.Thanksgiving Day shopping at Meijer has always been very tame but you just never know anymore.I'm not taking any chances,iow!

rarvin Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I'm headed to Meijer tomorrow morning too. I'm after the Transform & Go Rocket, Pooh Super Sleuth Changing Tree, Rocky Blu Ray, Lego Batman Wii, Cars toys and preschool games. I love Meijer!

tvhcols Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Does anyone know what model the 32" Sylvania TV is? I am planning to go get in line about 4 am to get one for my bedroom. I am having surgery on Tuesday and it would be great to have that TV in my bedroom for my recuperation days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBsDarling Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 trying to decide what time i am heading to Meijers...sale isnt till 6a BUT so many items I want are "shelf" items that I am worried they are already being loaded into carts as i type LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarvin Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Last year I got there at 4am & by 5am most of the "shelf" items were gone. The line for electronics was about 100 people long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rarvin Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I went to Meijer this morning at 4:30, bought all my stuff & was back home by 5:30. The line for electronics was about 1/4 the length it was last year. I'm not sure if that is because of the deals or the economy but I thought it was interesting.

KBsDarling Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Our meijers was fairly packed. Line for the 50% off video games was from toys out to pets and back around to the back aisle of toys then again our Meijers didnt have the quantity listed of teh games so they were letting you sub in any game priced 29.99-59.99 Got some deals on games that werent on sale anywhere! Ran into a friend that was way back in line at Meijers in CVS(our next stop) she said that about 3 people behind her the manager said no more picking any game. Glad we got in when we could!

HansieDZ Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 My sil ended up not going to get the 32" tv so I didn't get to Meijer until 5:15.Good thing I wasn't going for the tv or video games the line was too long for me to wait in. I got everything I wanted and more though! I bought 6 of the airsoft gun sets they had ($14.99 reg. $39.99) and 15 containers of the 6mm"bb's" ($1.99 reg. $5.49) for my son and nephews.Got the Leapster for my little girl...she's gonna freak! Got the NICE NCAA hoodies half-off (4 of those @ $9.99) and other things that caught my eye. I was really wondering if the economy was going to make it easier or harder to shop this year.On one hand,people have less money to spend; on the other,with less money,folks need to watch their pennies and shop the deals.I think it's going to be a strong BF sales weekend (at least here) if Meijer was any indication. JMO The deals were definitely there today for those who wanted to wait in line,so take heart BF shoppers and good luck to everybody tomorrow!

theboyzmom Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I went to Meijer this morning...wanted to see what video games were 50% off....I went back to the electronic section and they had orderly lines (one for the Wii, one for Rock Band, one for video games, etc), EXCEPT that NOBODY could tell me what line to get in!!!!! I had 3 employees (including one manager) tell me which particular line to get in, and when I got there I asked the people ahead of me what line it was....long story short, I NEVER found out what line it was! I waited for the sale to start so I could maybe see which line to head for....they were allowing one person from each line to come up to the counter and make their selection...it was taking FOREVER and nobody who wasn't in line could be in the area, so I never could tell what line I wanted to be in or what they had....left there and went to Kmart....didn't fair any better there... oh well, here's hoping tomorrow is better!

lucyismycat Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I got everything on my list this morning at Meijers and was back home by 6am since the prices were loaded by 5:30 at my store. Headed back there in the morning for the 7" digital frame, wondering where they will be in the store. I'll probably show up around 2 or 3. And for some reason I was thinking the indoor furniture is on sale Friday, but it's actually Saturday, so I guess I'll be going back then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
