We used to do it strategically with the kids. Scope out the ads in the newspapers and on-line. Make up a list with back up contingencies (e.g Radio Shack has the best price on this, but if they are sold out . . . ). Drop people off at different stores, and most importantly, to hold places in the check out lines while others shopped. And we did this without cell phones!
It was fun, like a scavenger hunt. Most of the people doing the same thing were in good humor about it. Never got started before 5AM. Usually back home and done by 10 AM. Now it has gotten too nuts.
