slinkster65 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Home Deopt Ace Target Those 3 we go to every year. Possibilities this year include: Best Buy HH Gregg Sports Authority Dicks
dmintelsgt Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Last year was: JCPenny, Sears, Target, TRU, The Mall, BBW, Radio Shack, Sports Authority, Ace Hardware, Walgreens (two stores for LittleKinz) This year we have a new Staples store so depending on the ad - it might be a new stop... also I vowed to check out Michael's
amberjobryant Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 It all depends on the ads though I do try to avoid walmart if at all possible
jediliz Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 usually just Target Brick & Mortar. Last year I shopped Target.com because two gifts were on sale for the BF price AND they had free shipping + I had a 10% off code to use, as well.
TotallyFrosted Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Depends on the ads, but I usually go to Walmart first. Then I hit JCPenneys, VS, TRU, Target and whoever else has a good deal.
LondonAtDark Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Depends on the ad's this year. Usually it will either be Target or WalMart.
mcwalker Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Always depends on the ads, but in the past: Best Buy, Target, Kohls, a pharmacy, Radio Shack, and others. This year may also be looking for major appliances, but probably don't have to be in early line for those.
ebony0421 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 We always go to the PX(military department store) first because they give out $20 gift cards to the first 100 with a military id. They do that Fri, Sat and Sun. After that, we hit the mall.
crocookie Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I usually start with Best Buy online , then on to Walmart, Kohl's, Sears, Target, and Bath and Body online or sometimes I head out to the stores . I always go to Michael's store on Black Friday as well since they don't open til 8 or 9am. I start shopping around 3 or 4 am online. crocookie
lilij Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I shop with a "team". We all split up and hit one store and shop for eachother. I usually get stuck with TRU since no one else will go there but me. I never ever go to WM. After we finish up at our store we meet up at the mall.
lookingfordeals3 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 It used to be Meijers first but they stopped price matching so we hit Walmart first. We price match as much as we can, grab any deals in their ad and get the heck out of there! Last year was the first year I went to Michaels for their door busters and I'm planning on going again this year. I couldn't pass up the cheap bags of Wilton's candy melts! After those two, we head to the mall(even though I swore I would never go again!..lol). We get as much as we can there and then over to the closest Target. On our way over to the out door mall here in town, we stop by Walgreens to grab anything that looks good. We shop the outdoor mall for a bit, grab lunch and head home. I sit down and make a list of everything I got so I don't forget. On Saturday the tree goes up and Sunday, I sleep! Can't wait for Thanksgiving weekend!
AudreyNicole Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 For me, it's always ToysRus first, followed by Target. I usually just hit those 2 stores, have breakfast and go back home to bed. LOL
redraccoon Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 This was good reading. I usually do Joann Fabrics first. I can get tons of fabric for Project Linus blankets for cheap! Then its off to the other places - Target, Walmart. Last year Dh and I divided to conquer - there were doorbuster type things we wanted at two places... so he waited at one while I went to the other. Worked well, we got the things we wanted!
mema1120 Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 I usually map a route depending on who opens first and if i really need to go to that store first. Starting with the store further away and than hit each store that i really need to go to. Like kohl.s than Kmart , target, staples, Sears. and than the stores going back home . That way I'm not drivng 5 miles in on direction and than 5 the opposite way. It saves time and gas.
manxwnch Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 best buy, target, wall marts, sears, JC Penny's, pep boys, any place that has a good sale on an item
Kim3498 Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 If TRU opens at midnight, I will so be there. Walmart, Target, BestBuy, Bristol Mall, Sears, JcPenney, Belk, Lowes (for tools for DH), and anywhere else that has a good deal.
Billing Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I would usually like to go to Big electronic retailers like Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Frys, maybe Game stop usually places like those
Billing Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I don't know why you'd go to Home depot because last year when I went there, pretty much no one and I mean no one was there at Home depot but across from Home depot was Best Buy and yes there was a line out there but I didn't go to Best Buy that year so yeah consider going some place else.
happysunshine28 Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I dont have alot of choices so if I leave my house its to go to walmart. So I am so very thankful to know about gottadeal so I can shop online at place I wouldn't get to shop at on BF.
Billing Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I always go to Frys well mabye this year I might go to Wal-Mart or Best buy I'm more of a computer guy......
Billing Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 It all depends on the ads though I do try to avoid walmart if at all possibleWhy do you want to avoid Wal-Mart?:eyepoppin:eyepoppin:eyepoppin:eyepoppin
angelashly Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Target Walmart Kohls Meijer Kmart Sears JcPenny Best Buy Oh who am I kidding I am usually gone all day!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thumper501 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 The order changes from year to year, depending on the ads and times the stores open. But we hit: Meijer Kohl's Target Walmart Toys R Us Best Buy Staples the mall (I usually hit that on my home in the evening. I like to people watch)
tjarena Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 What is everyones plans for going to multiple stores to get the deals? I plan on going to Sears for the washer, Walmart for the IPOD and Target. How do you know where to go first to get the things you want before they sell out? Oh, I forgot I also want to get the game at Old Navy.
wnc_mom Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 i know its all overwhelming heres what i do this is my plan so far but its not anywhere near done!!! the little (-)(*)(#)(M) stands for what shopping center the store is in.:) Kmart T-day ad - Opens at 7 AM Get: 10:30-11p.m: Be in line at TRU(#) 12am: midnight- TRU(#) OPENS- Get: 2am: Get in Line at Kohls(*) & start online ordering(Cabela’s, Bass Pro) 4am: Kohls(*) Opens- Get: 5am Go Back To TRU(#) Get: Whenever the H*ll I get out there go to Old Navy(*): Opens at 3am Sears(M): Opens at 4am JC Penny(M):Opens at 4am BRU(*):Opens at 5am Target(*): Opens at 5am Kmart: Opens at 6am Lowes(-): AC Moores(*):
conj Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 we prioritize the stuff we want.... so we will be at Old Navy as soon as the mall opens... DH wants the games!
MassMomx5 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 It all depends on the ads for me. I used to start at K-B Toys, then head to TRU for opening, then Target, then Walmart. Last year it was TRU, then Walmart, then Target. Not sure what exactly my plan this year is yet, but I'm leaning on Walmart first, then Target.
mom2isabella05 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 It really depends on what you are getting, whether or not they are doobusters, and what's most important to get. My plans so far are: TRU/BRU Sears JCP Walmart Target and then possibly the Walmart on the way home (if I can't get everything I want at the first one...the one closer to my house still had everything I wanted last year two days later!) I'm looking at what's most important and location of stores, as well as doorbuster hours. TRU/BRU doesn't actually have any doorbusters that I want but they are just north of the mall and open earliest, figure I'll go there first and get them out of the way. Sears is more important than JCP because it has stuff we want for the house and for DS1, while JCP only has a few things we want for DD4 (but we could live without them). Target is actually more important to me then Walmart, but the Target closer to my home always has more stuff because they are farther from the mall (again, I was able to get the double portable dvd player they had last year on Saturday at that location!) Plus, we are going to Target tomorrow to pick up a train table and train set from the big toy book and might pick up what I want and then pricematch on Friday since that store has already said they will still be price matching on BF. If the first Walmart doesn't have everything I want, then I'll hit the one closer to my home because it'll be on my way...and I'm really familiar with their layout so I'm planning on price matching a few things there.
booga12345 Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Mine is usually the same every year but if TRU opens at midnight I will be there first: TRU Penneys Target Walmart
