My Black Friday Plan of Attack



Mostly, I am blogging about my plan because of TwitterMoms ... but I do think it's a really fun topic!

I remember when I used to wait (impatiently) for the Black Friday ads - ahh, the days before they were available early AND online ... then, the last couple of years, I would scour the ads (online) and have my list ready weeks in advance. This year, I guess I just haven't been motivated. I have really only looked at the Target and Old Navy ads.

This year, I didn't see much. But Target has some great sale items, and that will be my first stop! I am going to get the $3 Sandwich Maker, Disney's UP ($13), 4 pack Disney Cars ($7.49), 10 pack of frames ($12) ... I am sure I will find much more when I am in the store, but those are the things that grabbed my eye in the ad. I am REALLY excited about (possibly) getting the Marcel Wanders reusable shopping bag!! It's so pretty! (One per guest, 500 bags per store.)

I will be going to Half Price Books. The first 100 people get a $20 giftcard! I am going to get some board books for Colin - he loves them and James told me that's what he wants to give Colin for Christmas!

I will probaby head to Old Navy. www.gobblepalooza.com says: Prior to store opening on Friday, November 27, customers will form a line outside the store, and a store associate will pass out one wristband per person aged 16 or older, starting with the front of the line while supplies last. Wristbands correspond to console platforms (Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Wii), customers must choose their platform from available wristbands. Wristbands are good for one Lego Rock Band video game in the platform listed on the wristband with a qualifying purchase of $20 or more. Limit one game per person, family or household.

I plan on being home (with breakfast in hand) by 10am. And, I want to have half of my list taken care of!

What's your plan of attack?!
