oh goodness.... actually we send texts (b/c it can be loud) and you can contact everyone at once. Its great if you need help in your area and if someone else is finished, they can rush to your aid!

I love the excitement also, it is a great girls bonding experience and it is just plain FUN!!! I have gotten some great deals on Black Friday, laptop computers (buying for others) TV, GPS systems you name it I have probably bought it on Black Friday.

Someone asked about the sales and how we know, I use a site called www.BFADs.net they have the listings of all the sale items and the door busters (door busters are for us early birds who stay up all night and there first thing in the am, usually a great deal and go fast). Thanksgiving evening is spent getting prepped for the shopping and drinking a lot of coffee. Depends on where I am going either I will nap or stay up all night camping out inside of Walmart now that they are open 24/7. I have never camped out at Best Buy, I am just not that into Best Buy (honestly dislike the store even on a normal day).

We really should start a thread and compare our lists.

I use bfads.net, too!

Only one year I camped out by Best Buy. It was snowing and freezing and I did it to get laptops for my sister and sister n law... never again! lol If they want something where you have to camp out, you gotta do it! They didn't even go... they were inside WalMart at the time. bleh! lol

I will say... in the years we have done it, we have always gotten everything we wanted! lol Thanksgiving night we do not go to sleep! We play card games and hit the store early!

WalMart is starting some of their sales at midnight this year.

Its just a tradition... For the past 6 years, I drive 2 hours (one way) just to go home and do it with the family!

Hey Robin..... where do you shop?..... Is there a possiblility that we stand face to face?..... the tension mounting as we anxiously await the exact time for the items to be uncovered...... with the mad rush of pure shopping pleasure upon us???? Wouldn't it be great if we were in the same line and could CHAT while waiting? LOL ....... my first stop will be Walmart, too!

Anyone watch SNL last night? It was hilarious!!!! I was crying I was laughing so hard at the Mega Mart 12 Minute Madness.
Some of their advertising said:
-What's the only thing that can get between you and a great deal? Boxes, so every customer will be given a free boxcutter at the door.
- At exactly 4 a.m. the doors will be flung open and the stampede of people will be let in right they have finished mopping and waxing the florrs.
-Where you can find the better deals? In the back of the store down jampacked aisles!

There were others and it was hilarious!!

I found it, I didn't thinkI would b/c it was just on last night.

I have no idea why it is backwards but you get the idea!

Honestly, I go for the sake of tradition with my friend and we end the day with Margarita's.

Year before last, however, I found an envelope of money while standing in line on our way into Target. I also found its owner and gave it back.

Actually that does sound like fun, (especiallly the margarita part.

) and I'll bet you have a band of angels blessing you after you found the owner of the money. I'm sure they are telling that story about the honest person that returned their Christmas money! I get it now, it's more like a sporting event you can do with a girlfriend.

Lol, that was so funny! I could use a box cutter . . .

oh gosh I LOVE it! I am going out this year! 3am Kohls, and it goes on from there. I really want to hit up Best Buy at 5am (maybe 4am) for a Nook e-reader for $100 and Walmart at 5am (maybe 4am, we have to split up) for a TomTom GPS for $59. I am really looking forward to this though, should be a great time!

Have a blast and I hope you find some amazing sales!!!

MaddiesMommie · 11-21-2010, 05:15 PM

I LOVE it, the game plans have already been formed.

so much fun!
I expect reports back on all the deals and battle stories.

pimpmamalana · 11-21-2010, 09:34 PM

I totally love the madness! My mom and I go every year, so its tradition for us. We will be at Walmart at midnight. I HAVE to buy the Cricut Expression for $185 with 2 cartridges (awesome deal- normally $399 just for the machine and $40-50 per cartridge). And I want the sewing machine they are selling for $50. I am so excited!!

I've worked the last 3 black fridays or so, and I'll be working this one too.

A couple years back I got up at 3am and camped out at Kmart around 4am until they opened. It was SO COLD, but I got the last of the 21 Wii's they had!

Met two awesome ladies who reached up above the crowd (since I'm super short) and got me my ticket saying I could have one of the Wii's. They were fabulous. I work at Petsmart now and even though we're opening at 7AM, I don't think the rush will be huge. My coworker is going to set aside some Yorkie slippers and a bed for me.
