Re: Black Friday

  • I am and I'm going to WalMart--this is crazy because I never go shopping that day, and I don't shop at WM.  They're selling Cricut Expressions for 188$.  That's what my eyes are on.

  • i freakin LOVE black friday just because people turn into monsters and it amuses me. I go every year and I have no reason to go. I might pick up a few deals if I see them but I mostly go to just annoy people as I am slowly walking through the store. One year, an old lady hit me with her cart because I was in her way. hahahahaha

  • I think I might do most of my "early bird" shopping online tomorrow or at midnight Friday.  DH and I may venture out to the stores Friday afternoon, but we aren't sure yet.  But it is a lot of fun to watch how crazy some people get!!

  • I love black Friday and used to go every year with my sister and friends.  We lived in a big city so we got the whole effect to.  This year I live in a tiny town that only has a Walmart and I'm already hearing people say how "crazy" it's going to be, haha.  I think I'll pass, I have to work anyway.

  • I don't plan on to...unless I find the perfect 40" TV on sale. DH and I both want one for christmas.

  • Going to the mall with my mom and sister just because we go every year. I don't think any of us are looking for anything special. Afterwards hanging out with DH's cousins at our house because Thanksgiving dinner with that side of the family isn't until Sunday and I love hanging out with these cousins.

  • DH offered to go with his brother, so I get to stay warm and cozy in my bed at 4 am this year! The only thing I told DH to get was one of the $25 vacuums from either Wal-Mart or Target. We really need a new one, and without much carpet in our house we don't need a really fancy one. I'll be really happy if we can get one for $25!

    DH is on the hunt for a Wii, he has wanted one for a while now, and it trying to track down the best deal.

  • The crowds kind of freak me out but I am sort of thinking about going this year.  I saw a lot of things in the walmart sales paper that I'd really like to get and a couple at lowes. 

    Joanns also has really good deals on diecutting machines which I'm trying to convince myself I don't need.

  • I do the exact same thing as Foto - I have no reason go to, but I love the crowds and excitement.
  • I really don't like going because I am not a fan of crowds but DH has never been and for some reason REALLY wants to go this year (we will see if that sticks when I wake him up at 4am) so I think we are hitting WalMart, Target, Best Buy and the mall (all the major spots). We were on the look out for a new tv but like pp said, it has to be the right size and the right price which is hard to come by. We have a small list of Christmas gifts that we are going to try and get.
  • I'm going with my mom just because we go every year.  This year I really don't need anything.  So if anything I'll prob just buy stuff for myself :)

  • DH and I are going to walmart because he needs a new work computer... and they have xmas trees on sale for $25! Then back to studying :(
  • Here is a great website for those of you that are going to go out shopping.  It has all of the stores down the right hand side of the website and all of the ads are scanned so you don't have to buy a paper if you don't want to.

  • laniemarie - Walmart has a 40" Sony for $598.  They have a lot of tvs on sale. 

     Also, if you find an open box tv at Best Buy (on a normal day, not black friday) you can talk to a manager and get the price down even lower.  If they feel like it they can sell it to you pretty cheap depending on the brand.

    Actually, if you talk to a manager at most stores (regardless of the state of the item), you can talk them down on almost anything.  We do it all the time.

  • My mom and I go every year so we'll be out freezing our booties off at 4am! We lived in FL for 10 years and now I live in KY so mom is up for the holidays and we'll be going to lexington but we are used to shopping in flip flops and shorts which makes it ALOT more bearable to stand outside at 4am so I don't know how well I'll do in the cold frigid north!! haha
  • The plan is...(DH is actually going for the first time!! I told him to be scared and ready to push people out of the way haha!)

     Target: They have a 99$ really good pot set for 49.99$, also some nice hoodies with fleece inside for like 11$. I need a new hoodie that will keep me warm at work.

    Fred Meyer: I work here and they always have half price socks, tupperwear, gloves, movies ect. 

    I just have to remember to pick up the paper tomorrow so I can stake out what I want and when we got to be there. I wanted to go to Walmart but its 30 mins away to pick up the DS lite for 99$.

  • Foto, I'm with you, something about Black Friday turns otherwise normal respectable citizens into crazy monsters. I usually end up getting yelled at for meandering my way up the aisles. One year an old lady actually hit me with a bed in a bag set (wound up and  swung it with both hands!) to get me out of the way - an "excuse me" would have done the trick, but that was MUCH more memorable, hehe.   I'm going with H just to watch people behave like lunatics and just pick up a few things for the nieces and nephews.

  • AHAHAhA lisast that is SOOO FUNNY! i can just imagine it in my head. I hope something like that happens to me this year. I think its hilarious and I usually laugh when that happens, so it makes them even more monsterish!! sooo funny

  • I'm not a fan of Black Friday and haven't done it in years. I've recently realized that I can find the same deals online late on Thanksgiving night with free shipping, so what's the point. I already got the camera I wanted....we just ordered my parents computer that we said we were going to buy, and now isn't the time for us to buy a tv since we're still in furniture shopping mode.

    So...I'm going to decorate on Friday. YIPPPEEEEE!!!!

  • Ugh - no shopping for me.  I work retail part time in addition to a full time job and this time of year makes me just want to scream at some of the customers who are absolutely childish in their behavior.  This is also the reason that I get a lot of my holiday shopping done well before Thanksgiving.  :)

     Thank you! =) That one is almost right we just need 120hz instead of 60hz. I'm going to check out that black friday website maybe I'll find something.

  • My plan is to not make the news as the trampled customer; so I'm going to stay in.

  • You couldn't pay me enough to go NEAR a mall, let alone IN one. Online gift shopping allllll the way for me.
