Walgreens - buy 1 get one free on their $9.99 toys THurday.
Target has some games for like $4
JCPennies has a few Fisher Price Toys listed in their ad for around $4 also.
Gonna stock up not only for Christmas but for their birthdays next year! I love having all the toy shopping done in 1 weekend for the kids. I always end up overbuying and sitting home Friday afternoon deciding what I need to take back.

I do the same thing buy too much. I never take back tho. I store it all in my attic for daycare kids birthdays or my sons friends birthdays. Cousins we sometimes forget etc.
I learned my lesson last Christmas when my cousin met a new girlfriend and she brought her kids to our family Christmas exchange. I had nothing to give her children and felt just awful! Had I known about them I would have had something ready.
I'm not one to buy new toys, everything I own is second-hand, but you would never know by looking at it! Obviously I do buy some things new, but not toys really.
I only plan to go to 2-3 stores on Friday. Walmart has a wireless printer for $69 and ink cartridge 2-packs for $28. The printer is a print, scan, copy, and fax. I have all the already (7 year old printer), BUT I don't currently have fax or wireless options and I've wanted to upgrade my printer for about 2 years. Also, I currently pay about $26 just for black ink so I will be stocking up on the inks as well. It's mostly used for business so it will benefit me in many ways!
The nice thing about Walmart shopping on this day is that you can stand right next to the item you want and not wait outside in the cold for hours. I don't stand in lines. I usually go to Menards for bath and body gifts for family all under $5 and if I wait until about 8:30/9:00 they still have plenty left and I don't have to wait in a checkout lane forever either.
no way...no thank you.....not gonna happen. i hate shopping to begin with, i can't imagine dealing with all that on black friday.
i do all my christmas shopping thoughout the year...and finish up anything i need online.
believe it or not...i got all my sisters gifts at yard sales this summer. she's big into vintage, serving platters, and anything thats buttercream yellow color. I found quite a few pieces i know she's gonna love, all for under $20!
I LOVE Black Friday shopping! Walmart has $3.88 kids games, $5 barbies..which I will probably stock up on for next year as well. K-mart has 50% off baby toys, kohls has 50% off most toys or buy one get one deals. By the end of the weekend when I sit down and figure out all that I got, it's clear to see all the money that I saved by 'braving' the madness out there This year (since the opening times seem to inch backwards every year ) we'll be heading out at 9pm to get to Walmart by opening..and of course make our Dunkin Donuts run in between Hopefully this year is bit more peaceful than last year..had a few encounters with VERY rude people. Have fun everyone!happyface
Might go to Kohl's. I don't *need* any other toys this year though so I don't know. I fully expected to need to do Christmas shopping, but surprise! I have everything sitting in my Amazon cart waiting to get either low on stock or for various payments on our Amazon card to go through (I'm not passing up 3% cash back...all our Amazon purchases, about $300+ in total this year, are going through the credit card, ).
We do need a new dishwasher, but no one that I found is having a great sale *on a dishwasher I am interested in buying*. Never, ever, EVER buy a Frigidaire dishwasher--a couple of the models are known to cause lots of house fires, but for some reason have never been recalled despite numerous problems with overheating.
I just booked my hotel last night, I know we are going to great lakes crossings at midnight, I need to go to target and walmart. I love black friday, my kids love it too, they sit in the hallways watching people, to them that is exciting. I bring my kids because they are line holders, so I can shop.
Countrymom, my older daughters go with me. They are 19 and 20 and we all tag team it! I do wish I had a line holder though!!!! We have so much fun! Its gonna be a long day for me. It will start on thurs night at midnight. Then end at probably midnight friday night because the husband and I are going to see jeff dunnham friday night so it will be a late one! It will be worth it though. Black friday is one of my favorite days of the year!!
About 40 mins away from where I live there is a walmart in a smaller town. (They don't have anything else store wise.) I plan my entire Christmas around what they have to offer. I arrived at 9:30 and was out of the store by 11. It was excellent.
This year Walmart has a little people princess castle and pop and surprise train. Both retail at 100.00-120.00. They have them for 20.00!
I will be going, probably try to snag some movies and games. Our boys are video gamers and we are all movie buffs..I love the deals to be had one movies online and in stores on black friday as well as the sales on clothing items. We always get new pjs and usually some jeans and shirts too.
I will be looking at the adds and making my tentative shopping lists this week and will see what I can get online for the same or better price,then plan my attack for the stores first most likely hitting up walmart at 10pm on thanksgiving because I won't be after their electronics craziness, never am there! I want the ninja blender they have for doing my smoothies by shakeolody and others but I also saw it elsewhere for $10 more for a possibly better version so I will need to check them both out.
It is worth it to me to snag the deals and it is fun with my hubby, so we usually venture out for a few hours and then get breakfast together and head home for a much needed nap.
