October 26, 2012 | Posted By: Heather Stephens | Categorized in: Black Friday, Shopping

Walmart, Toys R Us, Kmart and other big retailers are making it easier on parents and grandparents, showing us what toys kids are hoping to unwrap this year! They've published their toy catalogues and we've scanned them into our Black Friday deal finder for you to browse, sort, favorite, and comparison shop!

There is definitely a hard way and an easy way to shop for your kids toys during the holidays!

The hard way to shop for toys:

Our tradition was to give our kids the toy catalog and let them cut out the things they wanted and glue them to a piece of paper to send to Santa before they were big enough to write their list.

Then my husband and I would head to the store planning on browsing the shelves to find what they wanted when we got there. In more years than not the store wouldn't have it and we'd end up aimlessly wandered the crowded aisles, hoping to find something else that would light up our kid's faces Christmas morning. We'd end up leaving the store exhausted, having overspent our budget, and bringing home toys we were not all that excited about ourselves, let alone our kids.

The easy way to shop for toys:

Thankfully the online shopping came to our rescue and made holiday shopping a little easier. Cuddling on the sofa with my husband, searching for toys on our laptops was so much more pleasant than trying to push a cart through a narrow crowded aisle.

...and FatWallet makes toy shopping even easier!
