Do you shop on Black Friday?? Day after Thanksgiving Another email I wanted to share....... Black Friday http://bfads.net/ Quote:

I've been known to get up before the crack of dawn to get teh "toy of the year" when my daughter was younger, but now, I really don't get up that early, if I even go on the day after Thanksgiving. My DH says he would rather pay the higher price than fight the crowds. :rolleyes: My MIL goes every year, calls me every year on this day before 5am, to see if I want to go w/ her. I have some friends (husband and wife) that go together each year and last year, they said they saved over $500 on what they bought. :eek: |
My butt stays at home on Black Friday! There's NO way I'm getting out there...made that mistake once...NEVER again! |
I get up about 6 am and hit a few places and have what I want mapped out, I have to be back home before my hubby has to go to work so I get a few hours of bargains in! |
i did a few years ago for some game thing for the kids i was there like 5:30 am 3rd or 4rth in line then by the time they opened the line was out to the highway and when they opened the doors people started running literally! it was chaos! some people are so crazy ! i would do it again but wouldn't bring any small children or frail people along!! |
Nope, never. :) I don't like crowds of people so saving all the money in the world isn't worth it to me. |
I go just because I like the excitement. If I find a bargain better yet! |
My friends and I always meet for breakfast at 5am, then hit the stores! We have been doing this for the past 8 years or so! We have a ball!!!! But this year, we will be doing something a bit different....there is a shopping mall about 45 minutes from where we live that will be opening the doors right at midnight!!!! And we have coupons for 50% off all sale prices! Its midnight madness!!! LOLOL!!!! So we will shop til dawn this year!!!! YAYAYAYA!!!!! Its alot of fun for those who haven't done it before!!! Its not as bad as you think it would be! LOL! |
nope not me any more ...most of my xmas shopping done over internet now or tv |
Not me -- the money saved is not worth the crowds, lines, and craziness. I am going to do most of my shopping online this year. I have been doing more and more online each year. If you shop early, there are usually a lot of free shipping deals. When I was younger the crowds and atmosphere was exciting -- I am getting older now and need to stay out of the way -- hehehe.... |
My husbands sisters and their daughters go every year. But not me. There is nothing I want that bad to go and fight a bunch of people for. Basically I hate Christmas shopping in general so I try to make it as painless as possible by going in the middle of the day in the middle of the week. Merchants plays us fools like a fine tuned fiddle. They know just how to suck as much money out of us as possible. My guess is, those that go for those great door buster specials end ujp spending more than they would if they went when there wasn't all the frenzy. It's a clever Marketing ploy to get everyone up early to do their shopping before their commen sense wakes up and kicks in and tells them to get their butts home and back in bed. LOL |
My bf and I search all the ads and make our list. We get up pretty early and then we go hit all of the stores with items of interest. Some years we have better luck than others. |
I have a couple of times in the past but, only because some of the things that the kids wanted for christmas happen to be on sale for a great price. I doubt if I will this year. But, who knows. I haven't decided yet. Have to wait and see what they have on sell and how cold it is. We will be in VA that's where we go every year for Thanksgiving. |

Me too. I've already got most of Ethan's and I just got in online Friday. Most of what I got him was the same price but there was no S&H so I paid about the same for it as I would have at the store. Of course his stocking stuffers and a few other things that he wants I will be getting from Wal-Mart. At least now I don't have to be in a big hurry I can just get it when I get it. |
I go every year. I leave about 5 or 6 am. The real bad crowds are out noon and after |
No, definately not. I'm not that desperate to save a few dollars, at best. |
The crowds are too scary and psycho. I know that at like walmart people get injured and everything. I think I even read of people dying at stores because of getting trampled on. Unless it was like Dolce & Gabanna purses on sale for $10, it's really not worth it too me. I don't even like waking up early for work when I have to get up early! I do usually go out in the afternoon though, when all the crowds are dying out. Besides, It's usually just shopping for myself, and most of my stores have their sales all weekend or so, so theres no rush :) |

I worked retail for 17 years and now I work as a receptionist at a doctors office. Because of working retail for so long, I hate to fight crowds when shopping. I just assume go when it isn't busy. It isn't worth the anxiety! Plus I tend to spend more money if things are on sale. I could go bonkers with deals. |
no way would i fight all those people. |
I can't. I can't stand the crowds! |
i don't participate i'm a nite girl. i don't function well in the morning. plus, crowds make me insane. |
No way! I never have and I never will shop on black Friday. I love online shopping! |
im done christmas shopping, and i wouldnt go anyway... no way... dont like waiting on long lines..... |
Depends..if they have something I REALLY want. I wouldn't go till the middle of the day though its too crazy the morning. |
My mom and I go every year! This time we are spending the night there til they open at 6am..lol |
HECK NO! Not only do I hate getting up early, I hate crowds,lol! Good luck to all of you that do the BF thing!:D |

I don't usually go shopping on Black Friday but then I found this website posted somewhere else and after looking at some of the ads, I may have to. The great things is you can get the prices on Wal-Mart's items on their website so you don't have to fight the crowds so I may just do that. There are alot of excellent deals out there this year, especially on electronics. Excellent site. |
I love to go shopping on Black Friday! I dont mind all of the crazy people, bc I am one of them! Its something that I have been doing for years now, and I cant imagine not going! It gets me in the Christmas mood! Call me nuts! |
