[TheGirlin14G]

Just got home and we got a lot of stuff!

We got to Super Wollyworld around 4:30 found a space about half way back and headed straight for electronics for the 5gb MP3 players.. we got back there and watched The Little Mermaid on a million different tvs for a half hour - then a shopping cart full of them was pushed out and people swarmed for it... and of course this was right at the Kiss The Girl scene(couldn't have been Poor Unfortunate Souls, could it? ).. but we did get 2.. we got the accesory packs and a vaccume there too.

Got the $14 telescope from Bon Ton.. nothing from the DS - it was tooo crowded and most of it was toys... then we spent entirely too much money at New York & Co(luckily we had lots of coupons that made it slightly less expensive), Hallmark, Victoria Secret(we bought 1 thing and it was enough to give us the free Heidi Klum bag! haha!) and Hot Topic

Michael's was crazy - we bought like $30 of stuff.. and even though it was a little after 9 the cashier let us use the 25% off coupon

Target.. they were restocking a lot of things by the time we got there.. a lot of the movies.. we got the two I wanted(Love Actually and Pride & Prejudice!)

We lucked out with checkouts in a few stores - we'd find a register that was just opening or one that was hidden by a shelf that only had 2 people there..

I hope everyone else had as much luck as we did!

 

[spoon2003]

Philosphy at Sephora for 20% is a better deal - (code FF2006)

Thanks!

I slept in extra late this morning (8:30!) - I have to work some today, and I'm working on cleaning the apartment up, getting stuff ready to donate (I'm going to be in the area of a Goodwill Tuesday) and I'll get started wrapping gifts.

The whole "running out" thing sounds too stressful to me. I like being at home today! I'll probably run out to Publix later (I can walk/run there in just a few minutes) and pick a few things up.

I do have to do demos tomorrow at the SuperTarget, so I might browse for a few minutes.

 

[taraprather]

I got up at 1:30 am (I set the alarm for 2:30, but my wonderful dog woke me up earlier), I called my mom and she picked me up by 2am. Off we went to Best buy to get the $250.00 laptop. It was about a 25 minute drive. We get there and it was PACKED! There were so many tents outside and the line pretty much wrapped around the entire building! We knew that there was no chance of getting the laptop so decided to head back to where we live and hit up the staples to try and get there $399 laptop. We get there, and same thing, line was SUPER long. So by this time it was 4am and Elderbeermans was right across the street. We went over there and waited until the opened. They actually opened there doors 15 minutes early, 4:45. It wasn't busy at all, maybe 5 other people there total. I got...
2 down blankets for my kids (they love blankets) $9.99 each
a pair of jeans for myself $14.99
a sweater for myself $14.99
a very cute pair of boots for my daughter $7.99
and my mom got quite a few things.
We then went onto radio shack 5:45. we get there and NO LINE! We couldn't believe it (they opened at 6). They open the doors, my mom grabbed what she wanted and we left. I didn't get anything but my mom got
radar detector-$29.99
5.8 phone with extra handset $50.00
camcorder/camera thing $49.99
and a few other things
Then off to Meijer, we get there about 7. We got front row parking, it was dead! I grabbed everything I was looking for there
some of there $2.00 playdoh
deal or no deal board game $9.99
basketball for son and soccer ball for daughter $4.99 each.
I didn't get the laptop I wanted (the ONLY reason I got up that dang early).
We got home around 8 and I went to bed and passed out for 20 minutes until my 2 year old dd woke me up. I am now ready for a LONG nap!!!!!!! Lets just hope my daughter decides to take an early nap today!

 

[mamalle]

I got up at 5am, had a cup of coffee. Ordered the leapfrog turbo twister for dd. Guess I will have to brave circuit city at some point to pick it up. Picked up my sister at 5:45am. walked into supertarget at 6:02 am. By the time we parked and got our carts the end of the line was walking in so we followed them right in.. sis got my kiddos the star wars transformer and barbie atm bank for christmas. I was able to get dd the $13 easy bake oven, 4 $3.99 turtlenecks for our winter trip, $28 docking station for dh's Ipod/alarm clock and some $6. fashion barbies for the kid's cousins'. we were done by 6:20. had our starbucks and off to the mall. Our supertarget was very organized and lots of cashiers available. I was very impressed...

Macy's was quite crowded but I was able to find for dh: dress shirt and tie, ralph lauren shirt and pants, 2 cute outfits for my nephew and a high school musical shirt for dd with some jeans to match for a total of $150 minus my $10 coupon..and no lines in the mens dept.

childrens place was 15% off your purchase-so I bought the kids matching PJ's for the christmas that were on sale, matching sweater with hat and scarf for dd fora total $35

my big savings was at Gymboree! gotta love the 12 items I got for dd that were 50% for $115 AND Im loving my $50 worth of gymbucks!!

didnt go near TRU and Circuit City looked mobbed... we were home by 9am having breakfast and starting decorating our Christmas Tree...

 

[java]

whew I am exhausted.... but here is what I got and I stuck to the list!!!
Circuit City=
The $2.99 memory card for cameras
XBOX 360 with free Gears of War game for DH(that was $399 but I would have paid that for just the system so getting the game of his choice(a $59 one at that) for free made me go there)
AND THE BIGGIE- A FREE DIGITAL CAMERA panasonic only 3.5 resolution I think- but it is for my 9 year old so she will be happy no matter what it looks like.And it looks really cute too!

Then Walmart
The $10 hotwheels cars
$20 Radar Gun
$30 VSmile

Target
went for the Hotwheels bike= got the last one of that...
Moon shoes for $30(the one off the list item I fell for.. dd really wanted them and they had the purple so into the cart..)
other little things...games ect

Michaels
Saved $30! on a bunch of craft stuff for dd and myself(I am making her a card making kit.. so got tons of cute goodies for the drawers)and I got myself a new bow maker thingie..and some great ribbon!

Mall
Found Girl's Heely's for 20% off so I got those
saved 15% on sweat shirt for ds at AE(and it was on sale too!)
hmmm I know I am forgetting something
went into Khols and walked right out it was way too crowded. And now I just bought some online stuff- like Vsmile games at Radio Shack and I am thinking about that Mix stick thing too... maybe ....one more purchase
Oh and The boys are out buying a big TV right now!!!YIKES! I made the mistake of telling them to check out the smaller ones too- they just called and said "way too small need the big one...." great so much for my money saving this AM they just blew it alll.......
HAD TO ADD A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO TEENIA!! GREAT JOB THIS SEASON and thank you really so so much for all that hard organizing work you did.

I was up at 2 and at Best buy by 3 am. ine had started forming at 4:30 pm yesterday. Fine I was halfway around the building 2 hrs early and the tickets for the emachines desktop went to people up front, but what really made me mad is some were coming back further in line and trying or rather actually selling thme for cash to peole in line. Most went for around $50 in cash. Just not right! They should ahve to give their name or soemthing and show ID to pick it up when they receive their ticket so they can't do that. They should either buy it or let soemone else in line have thier shot at it.

 

[CinRell]

Walmart
$50 black leather jacket for me
A dora doll that you put things in her hand and she talks about them... moves her head etc
A christmas dora doll (for my niece who was such a good girl shopping with us today)

a BIG superman doll

DVD car kit for the player I got last year on black friday!!!

Target
Littlest Pet shop vet shop (don't know how there was one left but it was RIGHT in front.. LAST one $13)
Memoirs of a Geisha
The Notebook
V-smile pooh game

Had some things in hand at kohl's but the line was wrapped literally around the store

I got a pink razor phone throught verizon $19.99

I think that's it... it was a fun morning! Bob Evans lost out on a lot of customers not opening til 7. they had a line waiting for them to open and didn't wait until EXACTLY 7 to let us in from the freezing cold.

Had fun! Most of those toys I"m not certain who gets what (have lots of little cousins) but I think I'm pretty safe with gifts

They were doing this at Circuit city today too! Blew me away. Thankfully I didn't need anything they were selling.. but still just seems a little wrong. I met a guy that had been at the store since 1AM for the laptops- he was 5th in line and then a bunch of kids came up to join the first guy in line and they all took a ticket for the laptop and tvs and then sold them down the line... But when I got there security was all over everybody- it actually went pretty smoothly for me.

 

[tikilyn]

Just got back from shopping. Dh, his friend and I spent the night at our local Home Depot ( they slept in the car until 5 am this morning), we got a 32in Lcd HdTv for 479.00!!! That baby is going into my bedroom.

I got up around 4 am took my car to walmart. Man what a madhouse. I got one of 16 idogs that walmart received. That was so much fun. Picture this: me on all fours trying to grab one while the lady in front of me was putting her butt in my face ! I got my I dog!! Then I headed to the photo department and got 3 1gb sd cards for 13.87 each! Picked up a pair of levis for me and a hand mixer for 3.87!!! Oh and got dd 6 an operation game for 8.00.

After I was done at walmart I headed back to home depot and got there before they opened to get my lcd tv!!

 

[CourtasanSatine]

Whoever asked about the Rent DVD:

It's one of the 3.98 movies at Target and it's Fullscreen

 

[3dog2kidmom]

I spent the mornng with coffee in my jammies... Here are my deals:

Pentax waterproof digital camera for DH at Buy.com -- originally $449 on sale for $260, with no tax, free shipping, and a $20 google checkout coupon = $240.07. And with 2% cash back from Sunshine and 1% on my Disney visa the net price is = $232.47

But here's my STEAL!

Kingston 1G SD cards
@ Buy.com

2 ea @ $29.23
Total $58.46
free shipping, no tax
google checkout, coupon $20
sub-total $38.46
$14 rebate on each card so -$28.00
= $10.46
divided by 2 = $5.23 for each 1g card!
less 2% cash back from sunshine rewards -$1.17 and 1% back on my Disney visa -$0.38
= net cost $4.46 each!!

This amazes me because when I bought my digital camera last year I paid around $85 for a 1G card for it. I bought the second card at Walmart a couple months later on sale for $60ish.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

i got to Best Buy at 3:45 just when they were giving out tickets

Bob's
They let me use two of the $10 off a $10 purchase coupons, so I got a really nice Life is Good shirt for $4 and PJ pants for about the same, after a 30% discount on the whole purchase. The lines were insane here, though.

I didn't see too many amazing deals this year..

Barbie ATM $15
Women's sleep/lounge pants $12

I wanted the Magic Glow Doodle bear for $7 but they were gone or never on the floor. The only kind I saw was for $18.89 so everyone was leaving it at the register. Oh well.

Doors opened at 6am and I was done by 6:30am I know some of the items were slightly cheaper elsewhere, but I had no intention of driving all around so I am pleased overall.

 

[maggiew]

I started at Target. I was 5th in line and got there about 4:30 am. They opened at 6 am. I managed to get:

19" LCD flat panel TV for $179 (for my parents)
Kodak C633 6.1 MP digital camera $98 (for my brother)
Aiptek MPRV+ digital Camcorder $98 (for my DD)
Speed stacker cup game $24 (for my niece)
Harry Potter DVD Goblet of Fire $3.98 (for one of my kids)
Elf DVD $5.98 (probably for me!!)
Magnetix set $9 (for my niece)
Deal or no deal handheld game $9 (for my mom or dad)
Doodle bear $7 (for my niece)

Then I headed over to Kohls. The line was wrapped AROUND the store. I was in line for at least an hour. I don't know, I didn't look at my watch when I got in line, but I was in the store about 2-1/2 hours and didn't really shop that long before I got in line. I managed to get:

Boots for DD14 ($16.99)
Boots for DD11 ($21.00)
Dance mat Game for my niece ($14.99)
2 cute towels that have hoods in shape of animals for my little nephews ($7.99 each) one dog and one tiger
Beginner Sewing machine for DD11 ($59)
Diamond earrings for my mom from my dad ($9.99)
Slippers for my mom ($8.99)
Chicago Bears ski hat for DH ($10) - this was an impulse buy while standing in line and snaking through the aisles
2 iSnuggle Bolster pillows with speakers for my DDs ($4.99 each)
Heart charm bracelet for DD14 (I don't remember price but maybe $16)

I used my special "Choose any day for extra 15% off coupon) plus I got $30 in Kohls bucks to use next trip.


Then I headed over to the mall. Big mistake. It took me a long time to find a parking spot. By the time I got into Carson, Pirie, Scott the luggage sets were gone. The only other thing I had on my list there was a pair of gloves for DD14. They were 50% off, but were originally $30, so I figured I could get her gloves elsewhere cheaper later. So I didn't stand in line. I went back to my car and left. I stopped through McDonalds on my way home for something to eat!!

[StephMK]

I didn't need any of the hot items thankfully but wasn't able to get a Leapster LMax on sale at Kohls. We tried 2 stores & neither had any. So I got the bundle of the reg. version. I DID find a sewing machine for DD12, on sale for $60 plus I had a 15% pick a day coupon. Took the total down to about $53 w/tax then I got $10 back for spending $50! Yeah!! Plus found a cute shirt to put away for DD6 bday in March for 1.50 before the 15% off!

It's fun hearing about everyone's deals!

2 different 2 foot tall bratz dolls
1 cabbage patch doll
2 of the 'stick' vacuums
