Re: Holiday Shopping (non-clicky poll)
What is the status of your shopping? Ha, I haven't started yet!! I do have lots of ideas though which is good.
Do you do the majority of your shopping in stores or online? Online
Any Black Friday deals you are hoping to score? We are hitting up the Queenstown outlets again at midnight - Brooks Brothers had awesome deals last year, so did LL Bean, worth the trip, but a lot of the others were meh - and then I think we will attempt maybe Target or Walmart but have to peruse the sales first to decide.
What is the status of your shopping? Non-exsistent at the current moment. I am going to wait until this weekend after I paid my monthly bills to see what I have left. If anything, I am going to start shopping for my son and niece. Then if I have extra left over I will start for my parents and DH soon.
Do you do the majority of your shopping in stores or online? After a couple bad experiences with online and delivery, I tend to shop in the stores just for my own piece of mind.
Any Black Friday deals you are hoping to score? My parents want a super huge Keurig (sp?) so I might see if I can get one a lot cheaper than what they are asking for.
What is the status of your shopping? I have started, but am not finished yet. We don't buy for a lot of people, but as usual, buying for my parents has me stressed out the most.
Do you do the majority of your shopping in stores or online? This year I am doing most of it online. In past years its been about half and half, but I am hoping for all or almost all online this year.
Any Black Friday deals you are hoping to score? No, not really. I am definitely open to perusing the ads and jumping on something if its a really good deal, but there's nothing specific that I hope to find.
What is the status of your shopping? I've picked up a couple things
Do you do the majority of your shopping in stores or online? pretty much 50/50. DS wants clothes and shoes so I can get that stuff online and stuff for the girls can go either way.
Any Black Friday deals you are hoping to score? a good camera
What is the status of your shopping? i'm about 90% done. i started in early summer before i had the baby though...
Do you do the majority of your shopping in stores or online? mostly online. especially while at work...i spend too much money online.
Any Black Friday deals you are hoping to score? i want to find a good deal for a video camera just for DH and i. maybe best buy will have one. i never normally do black friday but my brother's gf is way into it so i might ask if i can tag along this year.

... every single day of forever.
What is the status of your shopping?Keep in mind the first day of Hannukah is December 1st, so I have a shorter timeline than most people. I have started it. I've done gifts for the grandparents and I have a few gifts for the dogs, 1 for Lucy and 1 for DH.
Do you do the majority of your shopping in stores or online? I prefer online. I can probably get some stuff cheaper in stores, but I hate the hassle of being with the holiday crowd.
Any Black Friday deals you are hoping to score?
We may be purchasing a new tv. Ours is going bad after only 3 years
If it lasts, we may try to wait until Super Bowl time, as I think tv's are cheaper then.
ETA: We won't see our parents until December, but I want to get everything done before then anyway!
What is the status of your shopping?About 1/3 of the way done.

My parents are done, his are half-done, and I have NO clue what I'm getting him.
Do you do the majority of your shopping in stores or online?
I do it all online. I work so much I have zero time to go to a store. It's also easier to find something good online. I get my money out of my Amazon prime membership every year.

Oh god no.
