You must've seen in the news of the chaos and craziness from Black Friday's sales - they seemed to have targeted Walmarts. Since our Canadian Thanksgiving has long past (in October), I'm equally humored and disgusted seeing the mad mob of shoppers do this ritual every year.

Were any of you part of that? IMO, there's nothing I need to buy that's worth standing in line before dawn and fighting it out just to save a few bucks. Your thoughts?

I do NOT do those crazy early morning wait-in-line stores like WalMart or Target or KMart. I admit, I DID venture out on Friday, but at a decent normal hour of 10 am! AND I met my MIL and SIL at the mall....it totally wasn't crazy at all....I think everyone either had gone home & back to bed by then OR were still at the WalMarts, etc.

As an added plus, I WAS able to get some more Christmas presents bought!

Oh cool.... you mean you know places where you don't have to pay to shop? Can you tell me? I'm shopping for a car right now and if I don't have to pay for it.....

But seriously, before our son was born, I'd never step foot in a Costco - but since my wife was given a corporate card, now we occasionally go to stock up; the secret is go during off-hours or off-nights, such as dinner time or Tuesday night.

I have never been to a Costco, but I do like Sam's Club. There are certain things that we buy there every month or two. Like 250 Solo cups for about $7.00 instead of 12 or 16 for around $1.00. I also like their paper plates and bowls, they price compair like the cups do, and a paper bowl that can hold cereal is a good thing or a throw away plate that you can cut meat on. There are also certain food items that we can safe so much on that it's worth the yearly fee to us.
