QOTD Wednesday (Black Friday)

Are you planning to do any Black Friday shopping? If so, where are you going and what's your plan?

Or would you rather be hit over the head with a blunt object than go shopping on Friday?

Re: QOTD Wednesday (Black Friday)

  • i may go shopping later in the afternoon, but no way in hell will i be out at midnight or 2am or whatever.
  • I may check out some sites online, but I'm not planning to hit the stores. Too much craziness for me.

  • The LOs are usually up around 5:30am, and we are always looking for stuff to do before their AM naps (we're still on 2 naps/day), so on Friday we're packing them up and heading to Tysons as soon as they wake. We may even wake them early to go. Yes, we're crazy, but DH and I always go out early on Black Friday.

  • I'm contemplating going to Barnes and Noble at midnight tomorrow. But their website is seriously irritating me. They don't tell me what time the stores open. It has a countdown to when BF sales start, but I'm unsure if this is when the stores open.

    Anybody want to interpret this for me?

    I will definitely be taking advantage of online sales. But I have no idea what I want to get!

  • My mom and I always go shopping on Black Friday but this year we are just going to Old Town for the Shop Local Alexandria. I am excitedBig Smile

  • The parking lots alone make me homicidal - I don't know what the stores would actually be like!

  • I've never, ever been a Black Friday shopper but I'm contemplating a MacBook and just saw that Apple is doing something, although they're being very coy about what. Hopefully they'll offer whatever it is online as well.

    I used to want to do the outlets, just for the fun of it, but whenever I hear about BF "deals", they don't seem that great and I can usually figure out a way to get what I want online with a coupon and free shipping. 

  • HELL TO THE NO.

    We could actually walk to the mall if we so desired, but why???? I'm staying inside with a belly full of turkey and a good book and a craft or two.

  • I have to work on BF however I'm working at home!  I'm going to wake up reasonably early and walk down to my favorite knitting store which is having a big sale at 6am.  I might try to go out at lunchtime for a few things at Michael's but nothing other than that!  Good luck to all the BF shoppers!
  • I used to go years ago, but in recent years - like pp said - I just don't think the deals are that great or anything I can't find some other way.

  • Crowds and shopping are two of my least favorite things, so there are no circumstances that would ever make me venture out on Black Friday.
  • I may go in the afternoon if I see something that really sparks my interest, but am not sure yet. I haven't looked at any of the circulars.
  • I'll be up at 4 like usual since I have boot camp in the morning.  I'll be out with everyone else but I'm going to workout instead of shop. 

    DH and I will probably go out shopping MUCH later in the day when everyone's gone home to sleep! 

  • I'm going to do some online shopping.  I might go over to Best Buy to check out an imac, but that won't be until way later in the day, if I even decide to go.
  • no, hell no

    cyber monday? maybe

     

  • I'm going.

    We need a blu ray player that streams Netflix and I want the Dyson for $279 at Target since the hose in my vacuum has stopped functioning.

    I also am time zone 1 for the family shopping- we all try to go for the toys at the top of each kid's wishlist and then call the others so they know what to go for.  We've got family in all 4 zones, so we are usually pretty successful.
