Well almost a week away from the start on the christmas maddness, what are your plans this year for black friday? are you going to be spending as much as last year given the money situation the world is facing now? if you havnt notice now is the time to shop rather then waiting. stores are making great sales items earlier this year then years past. also what stores do yo plan on hitting up frist? since i work in retail here is my only tips to give to you. first and most improtant is thanksgiving night after you get home or the family leaves get online and print out every black friday ads you need, then go through them all and cicle everything you would want and then rank each store on a numbering system like 1st 2nd 3rd based on what store you need to hit up first. this is very important because most of the good stuff will sell out fast and stores will run out of the good stuff. so getting the gift that is going to sell out first should be #1 priorty. i would say clothes should be at the bottom of the list to get since most stores dont run out of them. the last rule is to be safe and friendly. nothing is worst then to start the holiday season off on the wrong foot. hope this helps some of you out

Ohh so fun, I am going to get up at 4am this year and go go go, I will probably do most my shopping at Target, except for a few specialty items, I sure do love Target though. I always get good vibes when I go in there. Maybe it is all the red.........

Most places open at 6 or 7 am, and Wal-Mart stays open 24 hours but doesn't start the discounts until 6am.

Ahh I see what you mean, damn would love to have something like that down here, although it would give opening to loads of crime going on around =o/

Who really cares if stores open early. If we all band together and revolt we could make them keep prices down year-round. My vote is don't spend any money...Let you spouse do it.you can sleep longer then.

i been looking around at waht some of the sales ae going to be and it doesnt look as good as years before. most of the great deals i seen have been in the past 2 or 3 weeks. i am guess most stores will be having great sale all the way up to christmas just to get shoppers in.

The best time to do christmas shopping is like a week or 2 before christmas that is when you get the best deals.

Be realistic, deals wont be as good anywhere in the world this year with all the economic crisis that Mr. Bush has set upon all us....
