jennybean Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 My family has a tradition of always putting up the Christmas decorations on Black Friday, so we never go :) But I'm out in the midwest now without a winter coat. And without boots. So I might go out and look for some of those later in the day (out of necessity and lack of money, really :p ). Are you considering going out shopping?

nadabrovitchka Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Black fridays exist for not too long where I live. Only some shops make it but it's getting more and more popular. I will not go out for just one reason, I don't have money to spend today lol However I try to buy only what's necessary, if I dont' need something I just avoid entering in shops. I think I'll go to neopets kill my shopping itch :dance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyokoHateshinai Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Never done black friday shopping and never will. To me it seems ridiculous. Sorry guys! tylerscribble, Lexa88 and 1_groovychick 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexa88 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I've never done it, but I do wonder what the fuss is all about. Are the deals really that good? I mean...I've seen people lined up outside of stores for hours waiting to get in. Is it worth it? I tend to think it isn't, but then, I've not actually gone into any of those stores for Black Friday, so I don't think I can really judge at all.

starstruck004 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I just came back from 7 hours of shopping! I bought a lot of clothes for myself, and a lot of things for other people! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zorna Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 I have never gone shopping on Black Friday, I don't like all the crowds and the lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseykins Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Last year on Black Friday I did go shopping at a toy store. BIG MISTAKE!!! I wasn't even aware of the whole Big Friday thing, being from Canada and not really paying attention to such things. I only went in to get a Christmas present for my daughter and ended up being in line at the checkouts for at least 20 minutes. It was ridiculous!! This year I was smarter! I stayed home and took advantage of an online sale. I had a discount code for Black Friday to use from Leap Frog, so now my daughter will get a shiny new LeapPad2 to open up. :) If I can take advantages of sales online rather then going directly to the store(s) I will. I can't stand crowds! Happy safe shopping everyone! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 This pretty much sums it up, don't you think? XD As for myself, I've been stalking sales online... for video games. I haven't purchase anything yet, and don't know if I will. 1_groovychick, precieuxly, Mouseykins and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogVault Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 [space edit] This pretty much sums it up, don't you think? XD As for myself, I've been stalking sales online... for video games. I haven't purchase anything yet, and don't know if I will. Heh, you have to keep in mind, Black "Friday" deals now start on Thursday. Americans must have realized what they're thankful for is a good deal! As for myself, I wait until Cyber Monday to do my shopping. A thousand times less hectic than Black Friday, with nearly identical deals. Xepha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdoll66 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 My family doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving, so I've always shopped on Black Friday with a few relatives. This year, I saved at least $200 and spent $175, and I don't even think that I did that great. The online deals aren't nearly as good. I didn't make a list until the night before. My biggest purchase was the latest season of Supernatural for $10 and some other DVDs for Christmas gifts. The stuff I bought was half Christmas gifts and half normal stuff, like pet food, shampoo, and nonperishables. If you're not trying to buy a big electronic or popular toy, it's really kind of fun. Everyone is in a really good mood, even the employees. I don't even really like shopping generally, but shoppers are actually more polite and helpful on Black Friday than they are normally, excluding a few moments of craziness.

precieuxly Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 If it wasn't for my family I would have not gone Black Friday shopping. My parents were sweet enough to get me a 32' inch tv for my early christmas gift! I'm so lucky to have them in my life! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haedder Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I just utilize internet deals. I'm living overseas so I just used some sites to get my family's gifts. When it comes to store mania, I bet a lot of people just get caught up in the fevor, a sudden unspoken competition feeling with all those other people around. That's me trying to explain it, still not really sure. I've been to a lot of quiz nights, a strange desperate need to win against strangers in a simple game is familiar feeling.

1_groovychick Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I have to agree with Xepha. I've always found it odd that people get in fights with other shoppers over a sweater or doll after celebrating all they have to be Thankful for. My family and I are starting to ask for experiences as gifts instead of stuff. I'd rather have lessons, or tickets to a show rather than clothes that are going to be out of style before summer even comes, or electronics that will be out-dated by my birthday in the summer, or more junk that takes up space on my shelves.
