So with all the Black Friday talk I have been getting so overwhelmed. This is the first year I plan on shopping the BF deals. So what stores/products/gifts are you shopping for this year? Here's all I'm after:

Best Buy- 42' Sharp HDTV- $199
Walmart- $99 Powerwheels- need 2 have a two year old and 5 yr old

Really haven't seen much else. What are you hoping to buy?

[tratra]

I don't like the crowds (or the early hours!) on black Friday, so I'll be tucked in while you all have at it. But I am going to go out either tonight at midnight or tomorrow morning to do the drug store deals.

Have fun! Hope you get what you're going for.

I really need that 42" Sharp but I really don't need to waste my Thanksgiving holiday standing in line for it. I think I would like to go to Carsons. I hear they have the down comforters any size for $19.99 which normally sell for about $149.99

[AtlantaCouponChic]

LOL Yeah I'm usually you every year but this is my first year here in the states for Thanksgiving in 5 years so I'm excited to get in the trenches. My list isn't too long so I'm just hoping I can get the couple of items I want! Anyone else?

[AtlantaCouponChic]

Yeah i am hoping since I live near a city it's not going to be too bad. I'll leave my house at 11:45pm and if it's a long line when I get to best buy then oh well I wasn't meant to have it!

[ltalmadge77]

I'm headed to ToysRUs, Kohls, and the outlets.

Getting a disney princess doll, the carriage if still have any, a winter coat and holiday dress for my 2 yr old daughter. Then maybe some clothes and enjoying some shopping.

Don't get time to myself as much so this is my night to enjoy shopping while my daughter has a nice weekend at my parents.

Lucky you...This year is tough my husband is overseas and won't be home and no family in town. Just me and my 3 boys. I'm hoping I can get a couple of BF deals even just one will make it all worth while!

I hope you can get everything that you want! There should also be more deals as the holiday gets closer.

Planning to go to Kohl's at midnight. My hubby and I decided we're just going to stay up and watch a Christmas movie, go out and shop, then come home and go to bed. We usually go early in the a.m., but with all the stores opening earlier, this seems to be the better option. The one thing we really wanted to find a good deal on was flannel sheets, and kohl's has them for 75% off. They also have some nice memory foam pillows we're going to try to get too. The best part is for every $50 you spend, you get $15 kohl's cash to use next week - love that!

Awe that's cute. I love that he's coming with and you have a plan. I'm sure those flannel sheets will come in handy living in Wisconsin and all! Good Luck!

We'll be doing Walgreens laaaaaaaaaaaate tonight (or earlyearly tomorrow; our store said the sale would start "probably by 3 am" but another person's store [in a different town] said 7 am so we'll see if I brave it or not!) ...just going to grab some random items that we need to stock up on, tissues, hair ties, etc. I'll be getting a bunch of toothpaste for the sake of rolling my RR's but I'll be donating every last box.

As for the "big" stores, we are only doing Walmart. Wasn't much I had to have, so I'll be grabbing the $3 mini-appliances (waffle iron, food processor), some new bedsheets, and who knows how many dvds & blu rays for gifts

I am really just spending time with my BFF by shopping all night. Mall of America has over 100 retailers opening at midnight, so we are just going to take our time. Bath and Body Works is always a stop. I already ordered at Kohls.com (sale just went live) and the Gap at the MOA is opening tomorrow morning and they are letting people on their email list pre-sale the items for their Black Friday event ($19 women's jeans among other things) and pick them up anytime during the weekend. So that will take care of a few people right there.

I did read that places all over the country, people have been camped out at Best Buys for days, close to weeks. I thought about standing in line for a TV, but I don't think it would even be worth it going now.

[missmyrah]

I'll be getting a couple of things from Kohl's as well. Just looking at my master list of all Black Friday coupons, I'm hoping the sales are great as some of the coupons don't offer much discounts.

But I'll do most of my shopping online, except the drug stores - probably run out to CVS for all their freebies.. Hope everyone gets an awesome deal or two

[CouponSanta]

I went to CVS today and did eight transactions - got a lot of great stuff!

Shopped Kohl's online for a Steelers Gear (Jersey, T-Shirt) and Jeans. Spent $72, normally $120 - and Jerseys never go on sale!

Might go to Rite-Aid to pick up some FAR stuff - other than that - nothing !

[brezi]

10 pm tonight: walmart xbox 360 4gb with kinect for 199.96 with that comes a $50 GC. do anther transaction and get call of duty 3 with that gc

12 am tonight/ tomorrow: best buy 42 inch sharp tv for 199.xx

[heartmomo]

I'm thinking about going to hhgreg tonight - is anyone familiar with this store & possibly what time people actually line up ? Lol I'm nervous !!

We do BF every year since DD's B-day is so close to X-mas, (shop for both occasions), but we did not see anything in the 2011 BF worth getting. The 2011 BF advertised toys were the same as last year.

Therefore, we did something different for 2011 BF. We shopped FCS (Family Christian Store) and Petsmart.

Both FCS and Petsmart 2011 BF sales were one day only.

Since FCS opened their doors @ 6am CST and Petsmart opened their doors at 7am CST. we did not have spend the night outside. A first for us in many years!
