red_72_1999 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Last year had friends go to one. They where stuck in traffic on interstate or 4 hours. It was horrible. I think you can get close to the same deals later if you just watch. Nothing is worth sitting in line for that long.
yuyi64 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Well I guess that means the Ace rep is a no-good liar, lol. Seriously, she said it would be e-mailed to me today. I'll send another e-mail...She might be busy playing solitaire!
bigjimslade Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 LOL She might be busy playing solitaire!
AndreaInNC Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 You also have to be careful and ask each individual store about returns. My outlet mall is about 45 minutes from my home, so with some stores I would have to drive all the way back to return an item. Some stores allow outlet returns to their mall stores, some do not. Just beware and be informed where you make your purchases!
AndreaInNC Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 The Hilfiger outlet that I go to normally has a line outside the store that starts at least an hour before it opens.
djsigma Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Been to Prime Outlets in Pleasant Prairie the past 2 years. Not worth standing in line for the 'freebie' that they hand out to the first 500 in line, but the sales were out of this world. We hit up Bath and Body Works, Yankee Candle, Ghiradelli, Fossil, Carter's, Coach Outlet, and a few others. Done by 3am, and headed back an hour to Milwaukee for 5am openings. May need to leave sooner this time around since stores like Kohl's and Sears will be opening at 4am this year. Best time was at Half Price Books of all places! $5 gift card and free tote, plus 20% off for first couple hours. Hosting Thanksgiving this year instead of going to someone else's house, so that'll be interesting to kick everybody out by 8pm so that we can clean up, and hit the road to the outlets. ~LOL~
hopeky94 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Well I guess that means the Ace rep is a no-good liar, lol. Seriously, she said it would be e-mailed to me today. I'll send another e-mail...Still nothing, Brad??
Brad Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Still nothing, Brad?? When I hear something, I'll post it.
gemini1567 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Last year I did the outlets close to me at their midnight opening. It was MADNESS. Most of the stores are teeny tiny, so you're sandwiched in like sardines....the lines are outragious...honestly, it was the least fun I've ever had bf shopping. I will not do it again! I'd rather wait in a BB line on BF anyday compared to BF shopping at my outlets!
BridgeIU Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Everyone should download the ad now!!!Good call!! This ad was pulled from another site, so I'd get while the getting is good. :)
BoredOutOfMyMind Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Another option is to just not post there ad even after it's released, lol. Not like anyone shops there any way. Actually the local stores are owned by some Mom & Pop operations that have been in business for a long time. The local stores here offered some of the same deals all the way until Christmas. Easy to get in and out while everyone else is in line at the mall and the items are great stocking stuffers.
Brad Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Word is some Ace stores have the BF ads and you can just go pick one up, so if anyone wants to try that, feel free. The Ace rep I was dealing with sent an e-mail to their marketing dept (and CC'ed me on the e-mail) asking them to send me the ad ASAP, but I've received nothing so far. Update: well I guess we don't have to wait for Ace to send it. It's been posted: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=156753 Closing this thread...
msl94 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Hello Everyone, The sales for the 4th annual Midnight Madness sale at the Premium Outlets malls across the country are now available. They also indicate that several stores may open early, which has been widely rumored for the past few weeks. The sales can be found at: http://www.premiumoutlets.com/sales/ Thanks and enjoy! Matt
jillandjustin Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Just got back from regular grocery shopping at Costco. My son and I ate at the cafe there. While we were eating, I watch two employees unpack TONS of Wiis and put them at the back of the cage (in the front of the store) on the bottom shelf. I would estimate there were at least 50. Not sure if this is in prep for BF or just a large shipment, but it seemed kinda suspicious that they went in the back on the bottom out of sight...Hope that helps someone out!
eileenrich Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Jeanna, I do not know about two of the stores..but you can go to Aero now and on black friday, anytime of the day really to find great deals! Yesterday, I was there and was able to get some great shirts for the boys for 5.99 (listed for 35.99) and my daughter got some pants for the same price!!!!! I spent 250.00 last year but saved over 600.00!!!!! Put the stuff away for birthdays last year! Good luck, Eileen
chefswife Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 was this at the costco on rt 1 in milford?
hunnybunny Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 does anyone know about justice,need to get some stuff there wondering if i should do now or wait.
nick_jenni_jocelyn Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 There is another post on here about Justice and if you do a search, there might be some more suggestions you can get from that post. They have 40% off your total floating around. If you have a local one, I would call in about a week to see what their BF deal is going to be. I know my local Justice store was having a buy1 get1 free sale for the ENTIRE store! I was there for about 1 hour and 45 minutes, mostly standing in line. Was by far the longest line i was in that morning and I did go to all the other big stores.
friholic Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 does anyone know about justice,need to get some stuff there wondering if i should do now or wait.I hope they do another B1GF. That sale was great. Talked with an employee about a week ago. Didn't say for sure, but said the sale "would be great", I hope so.
kimmers71 Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Received an email on this and may just go as I'm sure I can find something at Restoration Hardware. Plus I just want to experience the mayhem :D:D
momof3luvs1 Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 im also hoping for the bogo....It was great last year!!!!!!
SuggaD Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 I'm holding out for BOGO. DD is going to be so excited to get some Justice clothing this year! She's getting very fashion conscious. She's 10 now and we've been shopping for her mostly at Children's Place for the past few years.
Brad Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Here are the scans: http://www.blackfridayvip.com/scans/GottaDeal-Bealls.pdf Since these stores are only in Florida and have a limited audience, we're not going to type up the ad (at least not right now), but I figured there might be a few of you out there who'd like to see it. And Bealls sent this one directly :)
Brad Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 http://www.blackfridayvip.com/scans/GottaDeal-NorthernTool.pdf
bigdogofftheporch Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 BRAD do you think that i could get the item on line on black fri the ad does'nt say anything ?
