Black Friday
 
Anyone hitting the stores tonight? I hate crowds so I do Cyber Monday instead and take advantage of the free shipping. To those going out - Good Luck and have fun!

Rhetts_mama 11-24-2011 06:09 PM

I did Black Friday once, that was enough to last a lifetime. I'll wait and do the Cyber Monday sales, too.

Ellie May 11-24-2011 06:13 PM

Thanksgiving is not for shopping. We might go out tomorrow afternoon for a bit. Otherwise, we are online shoppers.

BabyGirl Rosie 11-24-2011 06:17 PM

Nope, not me. Never ever. I can't handle the crowds and crazy people. I order everything I need online. :)

I tried it once as well, didn't get anything I set out to get and really didn't save that much. We have people that have been camped out at our Best Buy since Monday - really?????? I mean I would have to save THOUSANDS before I would ever consider that.

I would rather pay more than to get trampled :D

My son works at Shoe Carnival and has to clock in at 4:00. We live about 7 miles away, but he will need toget there by 3:00 to get a parking spot since the store is in a shopping complex with Old Navy, Kohls, TJ Maxx, Best Buy, etc. I guess I am thankful that Shoe Carnival isn't opening until the am. I think it is really crappy that the stores are starting to open on Thanksgiving when EVERYONE should be able to enjoy their family and have a nice relaxing day - not have to go to work. It is getting out of control.

Micah my love 11-24-2011 06:37 PM

Can you imagine standing in the cold for hours, waiting for a store to open ;)

No, I can't imagine or wouldn't ever.

Doodlebug 11-24-2011 07:18 PM

No, never again. Once we went to Best Buy to buy a camera card and there were so many people in the store we couldn't move. When we finally made it to the camera dept. the cards were sold out.

ArmaniMan 11-24-2011 07:33 PM

I don't like the idea of standing on cold lines all night to save a few bucks- but I do like hitting the malls or outlets to get some decent deals on clothes- I will be hitting the mall tmrw.

My dh sd he was buying me a new computer for Christmas since mine is so slow it is driving me crazy. When I type a word, I have to wait to see what I typed. ARGH!
We found a great bundle offer at Best Buy. Even though it is online for same price, instead of having to wait for it to be delivered, he has decided to go tonight and get one if possible. He went by Best Buy earlier today. He sd he realized he is an amatuer. He was amazed that before 5 pm today, there were people with tents and tables set up in front of the store. LOL. Poor baby he was in shock. He hates crowds and shopping. He has decided he is still going but about 11 pm and take his chances. He has even written down where the next closest store is. I love him and the fact he spoils me.

Hopefully he will not be too shell shocked. I myself will be home warm and drinking diet dr pepper with the tv remote in hand.

I have heard that Best Buy will actually send employees out and give "tickets" out for the specific item you are wanting so you don''t have to worry about someone beating you to it. Good guy to try it for you - hope you get a new laptop! :)

Did it once for a Furby for my daughter and they sold out right before I got to the front of the line. I said never again.

southernbelle04 11-24-2011 08:23 PM

You guys took the words right out of my mouth! LOL! We are not Black Friday people around here either. I couldn't stand waiting in line in the cold, fighting all the crowds, the traffic, people get rude, and my nerves just can't handle it! I'd have to double up on some anxiety meds if I even tried! LOL! I just can't handle it. Katie Scarlett and I are staying in most of the day. We may go to the park and play a while. I too would rather pay the extra and not fuss with it all.

Dh just called he tried but they had very limited stock on this desktop bundle. (i do not like laptops). I went online just as soon as i got off the phone. All the desktop bundles on the page except one (which was about 600.00 and not even quad core) were sold out. ARGH! Back to the websites to ck for another one.

Danirenae 11-24-2011 08:56 PM

My hubby is out fighting the Walmart crowd for me. Then to old navy. Him and his brother enjoy doing this every year. Not sure why.....but go for it. Lol

As long as I get my Shark steam mop I will be happy. :)

Lovetodream88 11-24-2011 09:44 PM

My anxiety keeps me from doing it but I don't want to anyway lol .I actually have a dentist appointment tomorrow not looking forward to the traffic. I might stop by petsmart to get Callie a few things if its not busy.

chachi 11-24-2011 10:01 PM

I dont do Black Friday mainly because the vast majority of my xmas shopping is done but we are buying a treadmill on Cyber Monday. Alot of My shopping I do online. We are also wanting to buy this electric fireplace thing and its $20 cheaper if you buy it from Sams Club online but I want to see if it goes on sale Monday. I hope everyone that goes out finds some good deals

KazzyK810 11-24-2011 11:02 PM

Just got back from shopping at Walmart, Target and Kohls. It was CRAZY!!! We basically just go for the fun of it.

Danirenae 11-24-2011 11:42 PM

Woo hoo! Hubby got my steam mop! Last one in the store!!! He said people were going absolutely bonkers in that store! Lol!

He also picked up the new Wii console :)

My DS talked me into going with him to Walmart for a HDTV that was on sale at midnight. We stood in line for 3 hours for a ticket. Luckily our Walmart had security there so no one could break line and they counted the people in line, so we knew we wouldn't stand there for 3 hrs and not get a tv. I never do black Friday as I prefer to shop online, but we got the 2 tv's and had a blast watching the crazy people fighting over small kitchen appliances. It was like sharks in a feeding frenzy.
I am pooped and have to work this morning...I will never do this again.

Princess10 11-25-2011 10:58 AM

We battle Walmart (where 2 grown women were acting like children over $5 DVD's, then Target which was a flop & then Kohl's. Kohl's was HORRIBLE. The people weren't, it just took us almost 4 HOURS to check out! And I was up for over 24 hours so I'm beat.:p

I saved much more than I spent & will likely brave it again next year. I wish it didn't start at midnight though, it takes a lot of fun out of getting up early.

update on black friday search for computer. When dh got to Best Buy the line was very long. There were employees stationed along the line at intervals with head phones. He asked one about the bundle and they sd very limited supply and would prob be gone by the time he got in the store. Dh left and cld me i went online to order it and it was sold out. should have went with my gut and ordered earlier.

Fast forward to Friday morning about 7 am dh decides to go get breakfast and he went by Best Buy to see if any other computers on sale still. They had 2 of the bundles available by a register. When he was taking one to the counter, they put another one out. So I got my computer today. Cleaning off my desk now so went can set it up. So excited. :p

I do Black Friday shopping every year with my neighbor and her Brother.

None of us have family near by so we usually will eat our Thanksgiving dinner together, rest and head out around 8:00 pm.

We have been doing this for years and are pretty experienced, the crowds don't bother me and we usually get everythng on our list.

This year we went to Walmart, Target (me), Kohls (them), Lowes, Home Depot and Ace Hardware.

chachi 11-26-2011 12:13 AM

We ended up getting a great deal on a treadmill that has a screen and internet on it so we are excited. We even got a deal on the warranty. My Husband put one in his cart but didnt hit purchase and they told him they would mark it down another 10 percernt and it was already marked down just for yesterday then they gave us a deal on the warranty so we are excited. So that is our black Friday purchase and our christmas present

I agree! My daughter and I tried that many years ago and was almost crushed at the counter trying to buy shoes at a local dept. store. That was long before all the insanity that's going on now.

Micah my love 11-26-2011 03:52 AM

I went to walmart yesterday afternoon picked up a thing or 2 but crowd was small by that time..
