Re: POLL: Black Friday Shopping

  • I don't plan on black Friday shopping.  I stopped several years ago when it just got too insane and I wasn't as worried about money.  Now that we travel, it also doesn't make as much sense...I don't want to haul stuff home.

    do you plan on going black friday shopping?I may go out if what I want is on sale, but I probably won't be up at 4am!

    Where will you be shopping? Best Buy?

    What are you hoping to score? Video Camera.

    Which stores will you go to? oops, kinda already asked that!!

    Does DH go with you?  Dh went with me two years, then we went for chicken fried steak and eggs after. It was fun to have that little tradition

  • We might head out to the stores at some point, but no plans to hit the doorbuster-type sales.  I have no idea what I'm getting anyone for Christmas this year and haven't even thought about it yet.

    That said, I did snag a bunch of "gift bags" several weeks ago.  Lands End had a great sale on their medium sized canvas tote bags and with monogramming, delivery, tax and everything I only spent about $15 each!  I bought like seven of them for various family members and will be filling them with goodies.  Now to figure out what those goodies should be!

    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • I am not sure this year. While there are some good deals, it really not worth it going out. The only place I may go to is Petsmart for some blankets for our cats for their gifts. They are $4 a piece!

    There is a vacuum I am eyeing @ Lowe's but I am not sure if I want to get up that early for a vacuum.....I may make some cinnamon rolls instead.

  • I have no plans to head out in the wee hours of the morning. If I do any shopping it will be online or later in that day - but more likely online shopping.

    Agreed.  I'm much more a Cyber Monday shopper than Black Friday.

    HA HA, I never know!  I end up with some e-mails that come in usually but haven't seen anything yet this year.  It;'s usually really about the free shipping.  Maybe http://www.dealscybermonday.org/ and http://www.cybermonday.com/ will get us thinking
  •   Nope...does not exist here.  I didn't go whilst I lived in CA though either.  There is crazy sales on Boxing Day here, but I avoid that too.   I am not a fan of crazy shoppers, who are definitely not into the Christmas spirit!  hahaha.


  • Nope. You could not pay me to go anywhere near a shopping area that day (I pretty much avoid them until New Year's.)

    The only thing we need to get is some books for our nieces. I'll either try to go to a local bookstore mid-week or order the books online.

    I sometimes check out the deals on Cyber Monday if there is something specific I'm looking for. But generally, we don't do a lot of shopping this time of year.

  • I've been Black Friday Shopping and I actually don't mind it so much (granted I go at like 9 or 10am so it's not like I'm there for some insane deal so it's less stressful). This year I won't be going though. I've got some plans with friends so I'll probably be cooking and/or relaxing.
  • Do you plan on going black friday shopping?  We don't go out.  Usually, we hit up a local breakfast place for brunch and shop online between ordering and getting our food.

    Where will you be shopping?  If anywhere, probably acacia catalog and perhaps amazon.

    What are you hoping to score?  PJs for DH's mom and who knows what for his dad.

    Which stores will you go to?  None.

    Does DH go with you?  Yes.  We "shop" together.

  • do you plan on going black friday shopping? Nope I am working from 3-12 :(

    Where will you be shopping? Normally I would hit Target or Walmart

    What are you hoping to score? This year I am already finished with all the xmas shopping and have wrapped everything so i have no need to go to the crowded malls!

    Does DH go with you?  I HATE shopping black friday with DH. He is so easily irritated by ppl and I feel like you need an incredible amount of patience to survive black friday and he just doesn't have it.

  • Nope, I never really have because I HATE shopping in crazy crowds. I shop online mostly for gifts now anyway. DH hates crowds as much or more than me because imagine being in a wheelchair and dealing with it. Not fun! MIL and SIL want to go this year while they're visiting us. I might have been willing to go with them but not now that I'm fighting a cold/sinus thing. My parents also hate(d) shopping in crowds so I didn't do the Black Friday thing growing up either.

    Haha, I actually do get paid to go! I cover it for work. 

    Most places are opening at midnight this year so it's going to be easier than normal. I'm not shopping though (well, sometimes I'll pick up something if there's not a line) so it's easier.

    I'll be starting at Toys R Us at 9 p.m., Walmart at 10 p.m., then probably Macy's at midnight and hit up at least one other store, maybe Kohl's or Target, after that.

    My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.

  • Hell no. I will wait for cyber Monday deals. I will be up late on Friday so I want to get as much sleep as the baby lets me have so I am not a zombie at my high school reunion.
