Did Someone Say DoorBusters?!

Curiosity always gets the best of me when it comes to some door busting so I've once again been keeping an eye on the leaked Black Friday ads at:  http://www.fatwallet.com/

I have to say that I'm not very impressed with the Black Friday ads at this point, but to get in the spirit (assuming I can wake up out of the inevitable turkey coma in a timely manner) I'll probably hit a couple stores that typically aren't crowded with psycho shoppers.  Last year Radio Shack was a ghost town and I snagged some good deals there.  Home Depot and Lowe's usually aren't crowded at all and I can always go up the street and race the older crowd for a couple bargains at Walgreens.  Free donuts have been known to factor in to my itinerary.

Last year I managed to misinterpret the Big Lots ad and ended up going there three days in a row until I finally got the toy Black and Decker workbench I was after.  Two years ago I had my eye on some items at Kohls and was all set sitting at the computer Thanksgiving night waiting for the sale to activate.  Big letdown as about half the items I ordered ended up getting cancelled due to shortages.  Probably the best deals I've scored were on toys for the kids on Amazon.com about two weeks before X-mas when they had some good discounts.

Maybe Cyber Monday will be good?????
