Are you shopping on Black Friday? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. katsmeow1213 (4915)   ranked 21 out of 7,447 in shopping1 year ago

I've just decided that I definitly am shopping on Black Friday. I wasn't sure until I saw the Walmart circular that just came in the mail. A Magnavox Blu Ray player for $130!

There are actually a number of things I'd like to get from these sales. I'm kicking myelf now because I bought my daughter's Easy Bake Oven last week for $20 and now it's on sale at K-Mart for $15. There are quite a few other toys I'd like to have, unfortunatly after I buy the Blu Ray player, I'm only going to have $150 for groceries, which I can make work, I've done it before. But I don't want to spend any more than that.

So I'm just going to get the Blu Ray and get out, unless I can scrape up more money between now and then. What are you going to get?

All I can say is - GET THERE VERY EARLY! and I do mean early - like hours before the doors open - there WILL be a line! And supplies are extremely limited! The prices are indeed GREAT! But decide exactly what you want and run straight for it - if you want more than one thing - bring your kids and have them go grab it! But it IS kinda fun - IF you like that kind of excitement! Good luck and have a good time!:)

I've done this once, and it was years ago. I arrived an hour early and the line was to the back of the parking lot already. Luckily the items I wanted were not anything everyone was after, so it was easy to get my hands on them.

My kids are all too little to bring with me, they'll just slow me down.

I am wondering though if I should go to the 24 hour Walmart, or the one that won't open the store until 5am. I'm wondering if the 24 hour one will be more difficult to get my item since people can get there early and wander around the store, holding onto the item until they can cash out with it.

I was at a Kohls last year on Black Friday.
There had to be at least 500 in line an hour before the doors opened.
My wife and daughter are going this year.
I will wait and shop when it is not so crowded actually.

NO!!
NO!!
NO!!

My wife is spending the night at our daughters.
They are leaving at 4 a.m. to shop.
I did it last year with them both and it was CHAOS to say the least.
Must have been 500 or more people in lione at a Kohls we were at at 5 a.m. or earlier.
I don't mind crowds, but not waiting for the doors to open like I experienced last year. They can do the mad house shopping. I'll go during the days when it is just simply "crowded" thank you very much.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

LOL. I've only been once. It was a rush to say the least. Part of me is looking forward to it, another part of me is worried that the item I'm going for will be gone once I get to it. Keep your fingers crossed for me, okay?

I have never gone shopping on Black Friday. I am not sure I want to start. I would have to drag the kids with me and that is not something they need to deal with either. I will wait until after Black Friday to get the rest of the things on my list.

There is nothing I need to make me go out on Friday after Thanksgiving! And, to get that $130 deal on the Blu Ray player, I'd advise you to be there EARLY. They won't have many and they'll be gone later in the morning. And, there is no way I'd be there early to get run over by the herd, which is what usually happens at the doors.


myLot reputation of 96/100. katsmeow1213 (4915)   ranked 21 out of 7,447 in shopping  1 year ago

Yep, I'm thinking of getting there at least an hour before the doors open, perhaps earlier. Since it is a blu ray player they'll be gone real quick. I may end up going to the 24 hour Walmart so I can at least hang out inside the store until they let us into the areas where the sales are.

You are only talking about $5 on the EBO but if you are there anyway, buy the one for $15 and next week - take the other back ....if you have your receipt.

I doubt I'll be there on Friday - they say they hae those great sales but don't mention they only have 2-3 in the store available! I learned that the hard way.

I saw today on the news that a local Best Buy near by has people campingo ut already for the friday sales - tents and camping out - already started today. I knw most of it is just for the fun of something to do but I have to wonder if the stores really appreciate it as those campers are there for today and tomorrow while they have customers coming in.


myLot reputation of 96/100. katsmeow1213 (4915)   ranked 21 out of 7,447 in shopping  1 year ago

I'm not worried about the $5 on the Easy Bake Oven. I am worried about the store not having enough blu ray players, but the year I did go black Friday shopping they seemed to have a decent number of the big ticket items. I'm going to get there early and pray I get the one I want, that is the first thing I'm going to shoot for, then there are a couple toys I'd like to pick up for the kids, but if I don't get those it's not a huge deal. I really just want the blu ray.

I always go on Black Friday. Here's the way Wal-Mart works in our area. The pallets of sale items will be brought to the main middle aisle between 2 and 3 am. They are placed there and wrapped in black plastic. They will not allow the line to start forming until 4 am and if you have been observing you will know which pallet holds your item. At 4 am start lining up next to your pallet. Your selected item will probably be near the back close to the photo center. There is usually only one pallet of the item so get ready to grab and move on.
I know, I am way too familiar with this thing! LOL
We have a team and I am on the Penny's crew but my contact will be encountering you at Wal Mart I'm sure. The digital camera is on my Wal Mart list! Good Luck and have fun!


myLot reputation of 96/100. katsmeow1213 (4915)   ranked 21 out of 7,447 in shopping  1 year ago

I do plan to get there around 4am, so hopefully I can get my item. The blu ray player is the one I'm really concerned about. I have a few other things I'd like to pick up, but they aren't as important.

Thanks for this information. Keep my fingers crossed that I get the blu ray player:)

Since I have a bunch of credit cards I don't worry about budgeting as much for Black Friday. But I should! Because I only worked one day this week due to the holiday and I don't get paid for holidays.

I'm definitely shopping on Black Friday, but I'm not sure where yet. Last year I did Kohl's to get their roll up piano for $30. This year I'm not sure where the deals I want are.

I already have a Blu-Ray player since I got the PS3. But there are a lot of computer things I'd like.
