Black Friday 2006 Buddies Needed for the Best Bargins Yet!!HOME FROM THE TRENCHES!

[Tinker'n'Fun]

Jest started looking. Guess I am way behind the pack. My kids are older this year DD13 and DS11. I usually have my mom watch them, but I am not sure what to do this year...hmm, its shopping I will figure it out.

 

[maggiew]

Is the Carson, Pirie, Scott black friday ad out??

Thanks. They usually have a diamond necklace or earrings or bracelets or something for really cheap ($29) normally priced around $150. I usually get some of these for my mom to give her sisters and of course one for my dad to give my mom.

Last year it was earrings. The year before that it was bracelets.

Tenia, I just wanted to add that you are just AWESOME! I know how hard it is to do good search and to give info like you've been doing so I take my hat off to you.... :worthy:

Now I have to beg....

Is ANYONE having a good sale on

Anyone going to be at BB in Clarksville, Indiana? Looking for a buddy to help me snag one of the computers. I will not be there early enough but will be other places if I can find someone that I can help out too.

 

[DizneyDogs]

I clicked on the disney store link and 40 windows open up, is it supposed to do that? Or is it just my computer?

Just an idea ...

Our walmart actually makes you wait until the posted time on each ad....

I know if you go to gottadeal dot com they have a spot where you can create your own shopping list.

 

[triplefigs]

Here's a t-shirt design for all you BF shoppers! Just print it on transfer paper and iron on a shirt.

Have fun and hope you get great deals!

 

[java]

Ever so slightly stressed... I don't really have a game plan yet. Usually I hit Toysrus first but honestly that looks like a bust for us this year- nothing I HAVE to have. So I am thinking maybe khols, circuit city and best buy before the mall opens? really a wandering soul right now.... The big item on our list was a LCD Sony tv and it doesn't seem to be on sale anyplace... Although I am holding out for some last minute surprises! Tenia I love your shopping list but we don't have most of those stores where we are so I am out of luck... That mojo karate thing sounded cute(as my older kids take taekwondo and the little guys always want to kick things too.) but no Kmart here I need to get organized

Just a warning to all my fellow Black Market Walmarters...

Shoppers urged to boycott No. 1 retailer due to pro-homosexual commitments
Posted: November 21, 2006

Group wants to save Wal-Mart from pro-homosexual activists

The Friday after Thanksgiving typically is the biggest single shopping day of the year, and has been known to make or break a holiday season for many a retailer. This year, for Wal-Mart Friday will be even bigger than that.

The American Family Association, as WND reported earlier, already asked its several million supporters to boycott the stores that day.

And now another organization is launching an "information explosion" that is intended to tell the tens of millions at Wal-Mart Friday that some of their dollars will be going to support a group that works to discriminate against Christians with "hate crimes" legislation and wants marriage expanded to involve same-sex couples.

"We're out to help an old friend. Wal-Mart has been a friend of ours for a long, long time," said Flip Benham, the director of Operation Save America who is working to help coordinate the new efforts by the www.SaveWalMart.com outreach.

The AFA effort to trying to wake Wal-Mart up.


"Wal-Mart should remember that the majority of people in this country do not support things like same-sex marriage, and don't want the company giving money to groups that do support it," American Family Association Chairman Donald E. Wildmon said. "Shopping at retailers other than Wal-Mart might remind the company of that fact."

The SaveWalMart.com plan is different. It wants to approach customers directly, to let them know about the company's moral agenda, and to bring people together in a series of events that will convince the company to return to the values of founder Sam Walton.

Those were described in a recent WND column by Pat Boone, who knew Walton personally.

In his commentary, Boone told how he met with Walton, and at Walton's request offered ideas on how to feature gospel music in his stores.

"Already at more than 4,000 stores, his music department offered most everything, and he was personally concerned that some of it was anything but family friendly. Increasingly, he would be informed by customers that a number of albums contained profanity, strong and explicit sexual material, angry and violent imagery, all kinds of stuff he didn't want to sell anybody – but he didn't know what to do about it, since neither he nor his employees had time to listen to all the records the national distributors would place in his racks," Boone wrote.

He than told Walton about the Parents Music Resource Committee, which checked lyric contents and lobbied to have recording companies print the lyrics on the outside of the records or put advisories on the packaging.

Walton loved it, Boone reported. "It was responsible; it was family friendly. It was right – simply the right thing to do."

"We are not protesting. We are proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ," says the SaveWalMart organization website about Friday's plans.

The plans are to have people choose the Wal-Mart nearest either their home or church on Friday, and be there all day to hand out information about the developments involving the company.

"If you have a portable sound system, let the preacher boys proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ on it! We are a Gospel people! As always, we are going out because we love Wal-Mart and want to see the corporation turn back to the Christian ethic of its founder, Sam Walton," the website instructs

Benham said so far there are plans to demonstrate against the "satan-inspired" agenda at "hundreds" of the stores across the nation. He said it is "foolish" for a company even such as Wal-Mart to drive away an entire classification of customers.

However, he said it's a situation almost like blackmail or extortion. He called it "demonic" for its reach well beyond what logic could allow.

In one city, for example, Benham's workers offered a regional newspaper nearly $17,000 for an ad about its campaign, nearly double the routine $8,500 for such an ad, he said. The newspaper turned down the ad, which included statements such as, "God blessed Wal-Mart because founder Sam Walton chose to honor Jesus Christ and run his business according to biblical principles!"

The ad, which also has been prepared as a handout for people to give away on Friday, also said customers should "ask your local Wal-Mart Store Manager" about the changing moral values, and either call Wal-Mart or e-mail the company about the concerns.

"Wal-Mart is changing! It is departing from the rock from which it was hewn. The faith and love for Jesus Christ and His Word by Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, is being trashed before our very eyes," the ad says.

The facts it cites are basic. Wal-Mart recently joined the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, contributing at least $25,000 to the cause with promises to sponsor various homosexual events.

"It's a beginning," Benham told WND about the information plans. "Most of the people that we talk to, they have no idea (of the company's moral changes).

"Our hope is that thousands and thousands and thousands of people will be put on notice as to what is happening in Wal-Mart," he said.

Boone noted that he was shocked when the company agreed to donate a percentage of its online sales directly to a Washington, D.C., community for homosexuals.

"The man I knew was a conscientious deacon at the Methodist church, and his own family are wonderful people, still honoring their mom, Helen," Boone wrote. "He was a rock ribbed 'traditional values' guy…"

The AFA also is asking people to sign an online petition promising they will participate in a boycott, and the goal is a million families.

"The devil is forcing our schools, businesses, government, and churches to honor those things which are an abomination to God. Christians must take a stand! It’s time for our theology to become biography in the streets! It’s time for us to come out of the closet!" the information campaign website says.

"We are not a protest. We are a proclamation that Jesus Christ is Lord! Wal-Mart can be saved and so can America. It begins with God’s Church!" the website said.

Wal-Mart, after confirming to WND that it did establish a relationship with the homosexual business group, has been focusing on "diversity" in responses to people concerned about the company's moral drift.

To Pastor Rick Barnard's note that he couldn't support such a company, Wal-Mart said, "Working with the NGLCC, as we do with other minority enterprise leaders, is our way to help educate corporate America and the public as to the economic benefits of a diverse workplace and the power of creating mutually beneficial relationships with the LGBT and the LGBT-friendly business community."

Florida customer Lawrence Reves said he supported Wal-Mart "when the Democrats targeted you, but THIS is something I can not consciously continue to do."

"Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.'s commitment to nondiscrimination underscores our understanding of and appreciation for diversity, as well as the growth and influence of emerging consumer markets in the United States, including the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community,"' the company responded.

"American businesses … are being blackmailed by the devil himself. They are being forced by the 'politically correct' dogma (abortion, homosexuality, etc) of our day to accept his terms. If one chooses to defy this dogma, he will be forever branded as a right-wing, bigoted fascist, bent on forcing his own religion (Christianity) down everyone else’s throat. If the Church or any business will not accept these terms, or truly honors God, there will be hell to pay!" said the SaveWalMart site. "Now Satan has Wal-Mart in his line of fire!"

"After being lambasted for years by the anti-family, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, radical environmental left, Wal-Mart has finally succumbed to this constant harassment and blackmail. She has now chosen a policy of appeasement to assuage all of the false accusations leveled against her in hopes that the devil will somehow stop being so mean," according to information campaign organizers.

"And I suspect Mr. Sam is not smiling about the sudden flak, or the actions that caused it," Boone wrote. "There's a distinct line between allowing people to live their own lives as they choose, and underwriting and endorsing, even promoting, choices and actions with which you fundamentally disagree. Mr. Sam was determined that his stores would always be 'family friendly'; and suddenly, the millions of families he always catered to are seriously pondering the mixed messages coming out of Bentonville. I think he would have remained benignly neutral and non-condemning toward homosexual groups – but would never have donated to their causes."

The company also recently offered for sale online a book promoting lesbian sex to girls still young enough to be playing with Barbies, and as WND reported, pulled it when the offering was publicized.

The company also has had several workers quit their jobs and plan protests because of the support for the "gay causes."

Tony Perkins, of the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., said the problem is that the homosexual business group isn't just that. While the NGLCC "professes to promote the 'interests of the LGBT business community,' this is not all they have done," he said.

He said the group recently described efforts to defend traditional marriage as an attempt to "write discrimination into the Constitution …" and it has advocated attaching a pro-homosexual "hate crimes" amendment to legislation intended to protect children from violent sex offenders.

AFA boycotts in the past have proven effective, even though the organization doesn't take credit for all of the impacts. An example is the Ford Motor Company which more than a year ago embraced the "gay" community in its advertising and programs.

The AFA and dozens of other Christian groups joined in a boycott, and since then Ford has lost hundreds of millions of dollars, laid off tens of thousands of workers and is trying to regroup and stabilize.

You guys are so good. I am NO pro at this. In fact this will only by my 3rd time going anywhere on BF. I am lost at where to begin. I definitely want the V Smile. I think I can try to order that online through WalMart at midnight, which someone graciously let me know.
