retro1983hat Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I only waited outside in the middle of the night once and nearly got trampled and got nothing I wanted at Walmart. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, how do the sales work at the stores that are 24 hours, like Meijer? Do you wander around the store until they unveil the ad item?

FlaSoxxJim Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 It's cheating if you do any Christmas shopping before December 23rd. Furthermore, going anywhere else other than K-Mart is going above and beyond the call of duty. This year, everybody's getting tube socks and underwear.

I've never had a problem getting the stuff I wanted. It just depends on what you're looking for and how soon you get there. At the 24-hour Wal-Mart, I think they just had all their "early-bird specials" stacked on pallets in the backroom. They brought them out at 5AM or whenever the sale started. Last year I went in there late in the afternoon and they still had the "early bird" prices on a lot of stuff. BTW, google black friday ads(there are tons of sites) and figure out what you want and where you can get it now.

Plus, it's after you mail in a rebate and get your money back 6-10 weeks later. Once again, you just can't find those kind of deals online. Besides that, the one I'm looking at is made by I/O Magic. I've never heard of Beyond Micro... Edited November 18, 2006 by Iwritecode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I went last year. Left around 3, went to Bloomingdale area, didn't think there'd be that many, ha, the Best Buy went around the back of whole shopping center itself (pretty big). I was thinking of getting one of the computers, but that was one of the bigger doorbusters, so no chance. We chilled in the car until everyone got in the store, and then went in. Still got some good deals, like USB drives, DVD Box Sets, great for gifts, I saved a ton of money with people thinking I spent a lot more on them. But yeah, if you want one of those frontpage doorbusters, you'll be pushing your luck after 1-2 am It was actually a real fun experience though, 5 am, seeing everyone run around like madmen. Then go get some breakfast and sleep til the afternoon. If you go earlier, you can try to cut or look for people to and see the near brawls and riots.
