Thank you for doing this every year! This year Black Friday falls on my Birthday! So find me some really big goodies please!

I am looking for a laptop hybrid or at least one with a touch screen. I don't want to pay more than $500-$700 for it.

I will go to Walmart when I need to, but I do as much holiday shopping as possible well before Thanksgiving (stay away from the big bag in my closet!). And even so, I do most of my shopping online.

I don't take the car out of the driveway from the Tuesday before Thanksgiving until the Tuesday following -- except to drive for the family dinner at my folks' place.

I resurrected last year's thread for an early April Fools' joke

No no no. You must understand. I've been good. Just ask me.

A preview of things to come. Here are two different takes on the same event that happened last weekend. The first one from Fox News and the second one from ABC News.

Walmart is planning on even bigger deals this BF. Guess which store I'm avoiding?

Black Friday comes early as computer glitches cause welfare benefits frenzy

Quote:

In some Walmart stores, customers emptied shelves like it was Black Friday, while in others, no one could buy anything -- all thanks to a weekend of glitches with the nation's welfare system.

Problems involving Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards, the government payments to the poor that are administered by states with the help of private companies, plagued at least 17 states Saturday and Sunday, creating retail riots. At Louisiana stores in Springhill and Mansfield, cards registered no spending limits, prompting recipients to go on buying binges.

Walmart to Get Stuck With Most of Food Stamp Shopping Spree

Quote:

A couple of Louisiana Walmart stores will be stuck with most of the bill after food stamp recipients went on a colossal shopping spree when a power outage temporarily lifted their spending limits, state officials said today.

Police were called to Walmart locations in Mansfield, La., and Springhill, La., on Saturday as shoppers cleaned out store shelves.

Quote:

The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services' spokesman Trey Williams said the retailers who chose not to use the emergency procedures that limit sales up to $50 per cardholder during an emergency would be responsible for any additional amount spent over eligible benefit balances.

Following the policy clarification by the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services, Walmart told ABCNews.com the incident was "isolated" and the company doesn't believe it had any material impact to its U.S. business.

The shopping frenzy was triggered when the Electronic Benefits Transfer system went down because a back-up generator failed at 11 a.m. EST Saturday during a regularly-scheduled test, according to Xerox, a vendor for the EBT system and based in Norwalk, Conn.

I got some good deals on Barbies and Bratz last year! But the mobs around the video game displays were at least 10 deep, no getting to those. So I may go if they do the dolls like last year, which was the 8 pm deal, IIRC. I think I got there at 7 and staked out my spot. No problems parking. When we left, the parking situation was a different story! I got the good prices on video games from Amazon.
