Overall, doesn't seem worth it, but maybe I'm just getting old... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh. I never shop there on Black Friday or after-Christmas sales anymore. Their checkout process is incredibly slow even on a normal day, and it's much worse on a busy day. I gave up on them a few years ago when I (foolishly in hindsight) waited 2 hours to check out, in a line that wrapped all the way around to the back of the store. Never again. I can't even point to any specific thing. Their computers are slow, the employees move slowly as well. It takes them longer to check me out than any other place I shop. As a result I only go there when I need something and can't find it elsewhere close by without a long long drive or waiting 2+ days for shipping from Amazon or similar.

NWNC2015 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Went to Walmart, Khols, Belk, and Big Lots. Walmart....the most checkouts...and always overstocked at least here locally. Can't move/crowded. Wait time few minutes. Khols....lines wrapped around the entire store...the least checkouts....the best coupons (2 $10 off no min purchase and 25% off). Wait time a few hours. Belk....poor deals...no coupons on door buster items (the majority of Black Friday)...little lines. Wait time few minutes. Big Lots...25% most of the stuff.....sucky....wait time a few minutes.

Jon Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 If anyone wants a new laptop I found a crazy deal on slickdeals. Lenovo has up to 45% off some of their computers, you can build them how you like - also 45% off warranty as well. Use this link https://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/perksoffer/StdAffinityPortal/en_US/Lenovo:EnterStdAffinity?clickid=WdCTNmyuv3QKyUUQRv3stR5QUkkT8fXmN1-71U0&PID=10451&acid=ww:affiliate:bv0as6&irgwc=1and type in NJ*PERKSEPP for the passcode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Yep I survived black Friday (...Grey Thursday). Got a lot of good deals but Kohl's almost did me in (one and half hours in checkout). Most of my shopping from this point will be online. Did go to the Old World Market this morning and they gave me $10 off my purchase plus an additional 15% the end total.

pcbjr Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Purely for kicks. This was the earliest snow in Tokyo since 1962 (my 24 year old lives there and sent back some amazing footage). Anyway, - and again - purely for kicks - here's what our winter looked like in '62 - '63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. it was not some 2 to 3 years ago in January we had highs in the single digits and lows in the negative teens. 2010/2011 has not really been that far off. We will get back to cold winters eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Just when I thought my forecast for an overall warmer and dryer winter would be busted at the beginning of winter, I might be safe after all. Not that I want it to be dry or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWNC2015 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 So in my notebook I'm tracking Virgil in the Pacific. Years from now scientists will appreciate my work for not keeping the same name "Otto" and for future storms. I plan on donating it to the GoodWill as a rare find if it does not get accepted into Met Journals everyone reads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It blows my mind how bad yalls offense has been the last 4 years. The defense has been really good but get no help. Bama isnt stellar on offense so you never know.

Snowless in Carrollton Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Atlanta is already running +4 for November and with these next 2 days being so warm, I bet it will end up being +5 or more.
