Re: Poll: Christmas/Holiday Shopping

  • I've gotten a few things. I'm really scaling back this year so I don't have too much still to get.

    ETA: I don't shop on Black Friday except for the craft fair at the Greek church. I've bought some things online but they were things like photo calendars, mugs and handmade clay ornaments.

  • I have never been shopping on Black Friday.  I know there are crazy deals to be found but it's not worth the headache.   Cyber Monday is more my style.

  • Will you be shopping Black Friday this year? No, I never do Black Friday shopping. Cyber Monday, definitely. And I will be checking around for some deals this weekend (but online, not going anywhere!)

    How much of your shopping will be done online this year? 90% most likely. If I can buy it online, I absolutely will!

  • Bonus Questions: Will you be shopping Black Friday this year? No. I refuse to buy into the manufactured hype that is black friday. No freaking flat screen TV is worth potentially getting trampled by a crazed mob. Black Friday makes me stabby.

    How much of your shopping will be done online this year?As much as humanly possible.

  • Will you be shopping Black Friday this year? Yes, DH and I usually go out around 9 and still get some good deals and there isn't the mobs that are out way earlier in the morning.

    How much of your shopping will be done online this year? I'm hoping a good deal of it. I don't have much spare time (or patience) to shop in a store this year.

  • I've started, but have only picked up a few things. I still have a good bit to do, but funds are lacking. Ahh, unpaid maternity leave.

    Bonus Questions:

    Will you be shopping Black Friday this year? Nope. I looked at the Target and Toys R Us ads to see if anything I was considering for Mia were in there for great deals, but they aren't, so I have absolutely no reason to go out into the madness.

    How much of your shopping will be done online this year? The vast majority of it, especially since I finally caved and bought my Amazon Prime membership.

  • I'm not shopping Black Friday - I'm not buying any TVs or DVRs and my quota is acrylic sweaters is pretty full too - I just don't see the point.  Its just so much overconsumption anyway.

    Re online shopping - I'm going to try my darndest to do online as much as humanly possible.  I had to go to BB&B on Saturday for a last minute thing for Thanksgiving and it was a total disorganized clusterfd$k at check out.

  • I rarely shop black friday. Hannukah starts on December 8, so I try to get all of my shopping done by then. However, I'm pretty disorganized about the whole process this year. (Last year I had calendars and holiday cards ordered by now.I think we may give up on it this year...)

    Oh and I LOVE online shopping. Now if ALL stores would offer free return shipping, I'd be really happy.

  • Will you be shopping black friday? I usually don't go out, but I think DS and I are going to go to the Abingdon Target whenever he gets up.  It really is the best kept secret in HarCo.  I'll share it with you ladies though :)

    How much of your shopping will be done online this year?  There are some things on Amazon that I haven't seen anywhere else that I want for DS.  He loves those scratch and sniff books and unless I am not looking to carefully, I haven't seen them anywhere.

  • I plan to get a lot of shopping done this weekend. What doesnt get done this weekend will probably end up being online. 

     We are doing what we did last year - hit up target etc in mid-morning on friday just to see (I'll be at my parents so less crazy down there hopefully) and then we'll hit up a lot of the smaller stores in their town, some had ridiculously good deals last year!

    I'm confused. How is the Constant Friendship Target a secret? That whole area is heaving with cars. I go to the Bel Air location, even though it's generally further out of my way, just to avoid going to the Abingdon one.

  • I am one of those weirdos that likes to Black Friday shop... I never did until I had kids. I will go out after they go to bed and wait at TRU to get some good deals. My aunt from out of town is spending T'giving with us and it's her b'day that day... so we'll hit the mall and I'll give her money to spend on her b'day and Christmas gifts and it saves me having to ship them to Boston. I just have to embrace the crazy that day and try to tune out the crowds!

    I should have ellaborated, it is rarely crowded.  I have gone for the past 3 black friday's and it is a little more crowded than usual, but not as bad as some stores are on that day.  I avoid the Bel Air one because there is never a time it is not packed (with people)

  • Wow...I would have thought the Abingdon target would be a zoo due to its proximity to WalMart.

     

    I am pretty much done my shopping.  We've scaled back for the kids.  I still have two things to get DH that I will most likely order online.  One is on sale on BF, but I just can't stomach the crowds.
