Anyone NOT spend any money on Black Friday

[daniele_ut]

Dh returned a large toy that we had bought for DS's birthday last month but decided not to give him, so he got BACK $90

Later in the day I had to send him to Lowes to buy doorknobs for the new doors the contractor is installing, but that was a purchase that had to be made and had nothing to do with Black Friday. He spent less than the $90 he got back from Wal-Mart.

I downloaded 3 free books on my Nook!

I spent $121 on Amazon. Got the Dark Knight blu ray (family), Skylanders video game(for DSon), Cranium Disney (family), and Harry Potter 8 film set (for DD2). I also bought $20 in movies at B&N--had a 30% off coupon, used it for Prep & Landing, and then got The Last Airbender on blu ray for DS.

I need to get pjs for DS and DD2 (tradition) and then a GC for her for about $75. Also need a GC for DD1 and then another for DD1/BF.

Then I'm done done done done!!!!!!!

Didn't spend a dime. We had our family Thanksgiving on Friday so I was too busy and then too tired to care about shopping. Normallly, I would have done some online shopping, but I never go into the stores during the madness. Nothing I really wanted or felt was a good deal this year anyway.

It was a no spend friday for me until we ran out of bread so I had to go buy a loaf.

Does that still count as no spend friday?

Well, I didn't plan on purchasing anything, but my husband, my parents and I ventured out around 11:00 a.m. I found a cute Minnie watch at Sears for $20 (I know, not really a deal, but I loved it!) and two pairs of jeans and two tops at Old Navy for under $40. We had fun too! Nothing crazy to report, since we went out after the early bird specials and door busters were released.

This was the first black friday in many years I didn't spend a dime! I decorated the outside of my house and cleaned my shed. What a huge difference from years past of getting up at o'dark thirty to wait in line. I think I'm am actually done with BF shopping. I always went with my Mom and she passed away unexpectedly this year so it just wouldn't be the same anyway without her. I have to say I really enjoyed just spending the day with those I love.

I stay home on black Friday. The stores couldn't pay me to shop.

Didnt spend a dime. Dh and I have everything we basically want. The 3 ds are older and dont want much either in material stuff, just will get them some gift cards and cash.

Much easier for me for sure. I have cancer and my strength for shopping is limited etc. I dont like to get focused on the busy ness of the season, but rather the reason for the season etc.

Well that didn't help my husband. He stayed home too but got on the internet. About $800 later he was done - and he hates to spend money.

I didn't go shopping on BF. I did pick up my contacts at Sams but I paid for them on Tuesday. I refused to be sucked into the madness!

I think it's awful that the stores opened on Thanksgiving night and I decided not to go out with my mom & sister. DH, kids, & I went to see Arthur Christmas instead. There was hardly anyone else at the theater.

I refuse to do any BF shopping. (I did my shopping weeks ago, everything on layaway)

I did buy gas & McD's after work though.... and beer too... 8 hours of madness at my office required copious amounts of beer.
