Will you be shopping on Black Friday?

[RangerPooh]

I plan to hit Target for a few things. If I can score them online then I'll try that, but honestly I'll be there at some pint during the day.

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

Nope, all mine is online shopping. I'm not big on crowds. We like to do something active outdoors as a family on Black Friday.

 

[MIGrandma]

No, positively no!

I went one year, many years ago, when as a PP mentioned 7 a.m. was early. It was horrible. People pushing and shoving. Acting like animals. It was ridiculous.

Never again. I don't need/want anything THAT bad to put up with the way some people behave on Black Friday.

It's almost time...

Will you be participating in the shopping craze? In person? Online? A combo of both? Any stores in particular you know you're hitting?

I am due to have a baby next week so we are sitting out of in-person shopping. We will probably participate in some minimal online shopping but it should be a quiet year for us.

What about you?

No. Never have, never will. My husband went out one Black Friday - that's the only time he's ever done it.

 

[rastahomie]

Good Lord no. I'd rather have a root canal (and I am not kidding).

 

[robinb]

Probably. My DD wants a Google Pixel 2 XL and I'd like to find a good deal for her.

 

[J'aime Paris]

Nope, hate it. Won't deal with the crowds.

Maybe online if I spy a good deal.

I'm another one who never has and probably never will. We don't exchange Christmas gifts in our family and honey and I stopped years ago. We just tell family to give to charity in our names. The only gift we buy is a big ticket item for my son. Even when we bought gifts I wasn't going out in that craziness.

 

[Pacolovestacos]

I will monitor travel sites for special deals. I've gotten a few really good ones over the past couple years.

 

[GaSleepingBeautyFan]

online maybe. in stores - no way. people are crazy.

 

[Pooh2]

I went a couple of times years ago and had a fun time and got some great bargains.
It's become so crazy that it is depressing instead of getting me into the spirit.
So now I sleep in, have my coffee and check for sales in my email inbox.

 

[FlightlessDuck]

When my kids were little, my wife and i would go out. The past few years my wife has gone out with our daughter. I'll probably stay home and sleep, read, or play video games.

 

[skittles67]

Did it once, never again! Now I sip my coffee and shop online while in my pj's, lol.

 

[melanielll]

We generally go out and buy our tree on Black Friday. We haul it home, decorate it and make Christmas candy and cookies. This year we may wait a few days since Thanksgiving is so early. If we wait, we will just spend Black Friday decorating the outside of the house and making sugar cookies.

 

[chicagodisneyfan]

I used to love Black Friday - before it became so insane. Used to score unbelievable deals -probably 15 years ago. Now - its the same stuff everywhere.
Now I will admit to getting online and shopping that day!
And I usually hit up Oakbrook Mall in the evening - it is actually peaceful and calm Friday night.

 

[bigbabyblues]

No. We will be on vacation, and our Christmas shopping is done except for DH & I shopping for each other; we like to do that after I am off work for Christmas break.

 

[soccerdad72]

No, but my wife and her mom usually hit the outlet malls around 5am or so - she gets about 75% of her shopping done that day. She doesn't get a lot of other time to shop during the season, as she's usually pretty swamped with work.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Not likely

 

[tvguy]

Nope. Primarily because my wife and I will be working Black Friday (and Thanksgiving). And because we don't start Christmas shopping until 2 weeks before Christmas.

 

[Kitty 34]

Nope.......hopefully going to the casino to play Blackjack!
