Nakia Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Even though I have never stood in line to shop on Black Friday and don't plan to this year, I am always curious to know what everyone is buying. I might get up early to shop online, but most of my shopping is done. Please share what you are going to buy! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mejane Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Dh and son will be heading out with no specific agenda. Last year son wanted and got a laptop at half-price, and hubby got a huge shop-vac for $10. Who knows what they'll come home with this year? :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saille Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I'll be hitting Jo-Ann's for cheap fabric. Other than that...I wish someone was doing some huge doorbuster on the new iPod nano, b/c ds9 really wants one, has good reasons, and has taken excellent care of the shuffle he saved up for a few years ago, but I think it is not to be.

OnTheBrink Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 There are only two things that would make me venture out before dawn on Black Friday. 1) A new Mustang for $100 2) A Macbook for $100. Nothing else is worth it! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Not planning on buying anything, but who knows? My son thinks it's fun to go shopping on Black Friday, even though I do most of my shopping online (all our family lives out of state), and we don't typically buy big ticket items for Christmas. (Although if Apple has a sale on Macbooks, I wouldn't complain if dh wanted to buy me one.) Last year, ds and I went shopping on Black Friday for a few hours. Our purchase? Some car air fresheners from Yankee Candle. Wendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I want an mp3 player for me....not probably an Apple. I think I can find a Sansa reasonably priced. DH wants a Roomba for Christmas (that's the little vacumn thing that goes around the room by itself and scares the cat). A couple stores here are going to have those on sale. DS14 needs shirts and DD16 needs pajama pants, so I am going to take advantage of one store's 50% off sale on clothing before 7am. And I'm going to drink lots of free coffee while I shop.....

eternalknot Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Nothing. That's another rat-race I've opted out of LOL.

mama2cntrykids Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I'm hoping to snag a flat screen tv for my dh. I don't know much about them though, so I hope I don't make a bad purchase lol. I like Black Friday because just my mother and I go and it's the only time of year we do something with out my kids with us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plucky Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Not a thing. We like to stay home on Friday and put Christmas decorations up, watch a movie, and have some family time (just us and not extended family). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Sissy! Ok, I might venture out if either item were being sold for $200, BUT THAT'S IT! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I don't plan to be out and about that day but if I could find a 26" or bigger tv w/DVD for around $200, then I would brave the crowds to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julikins Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 What about Cyber Monday? That's more my style! I loved to go shopping before dawn with my mother-in-law, but a couple years ago I almost got run over by a shopping cart and it scared me! :) So I'm sticking to the good deals you can get from the comfort of my own home and my good old computer. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ereks mom Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I don't plan to do any brick & mortar store shopping that day. I'd go to the mall just to be there IF dh would go with me, but he used to work in retail at the mall, and swore that if he ever got going in his career, he'd NEVER go back to a mall on Black Friday.

Chris in VA Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Do you know you can see the ads before Thursday? Most of the stores have already posted them, so you can plan your attack! LOL Just google Black Friday Ads and they come up. I didn't see much from my list, but I might pick up some $4 games for the shelter.

Dawn in OH Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I will not set foot in a store on Black Friday. We may head out to the Christmas Tree farm to get a tree. This would be a big deal for us. In the past the rule was "No Christmas tree until after Mom's birthday". I decided this year I would rather have that tree up on my birthday than be left with the tree chaos after the fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I don't know if anyone can beat amazon. Dh said amazon is advertising that they will match any black Fridays sale and include free shipping. So dh said he will burn the midnight oil on the Internet IF there's anything worth bothering over. Last few years we have not been impressed at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pippen Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I need to replace a small tv for upstairs, although I don't have high hopes of finding one here since the big sales all seem to be for big TV's. I saw a pretty good deal on one at Walmart.com that I just may go for instead. Other than that, I'll be getting my hair cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 That is an interesting thought....I wonder how they plan to implement it? Me too. And they are guaranteeing delivery in time for christmas too. I figure it'll either be awesome or on some things people will be very disappointed. Which I guess really isn't much different than any other black Friday sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowperch Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Not a thing. I will have all my shopping done before Thanksgiving. Anything I haven't managed before we can live without. After T-day I will work on my photobooks for my parents and in-laws. And enjoy the inter-holiday period. Do you believe me? I'm not sure I do but I am going to try. My parents are spending the night Thursday and my mother promises that she will be herding the children so DH and I can sleep in. Would I miss shopping for that? You bet! No if there were lots of great books marked way way down I think I'd tell a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Groceries. Just groceries. Unless.... I find a certain guitar for a scandalously low price. I'm gonna have to go check on that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Not a single thing. I hate shopping on a good day, so there is no 'deal' good enough to get me into a mall or a department store on Friday. :D Our tradition is to spend the day with my family. My sisters and I always spend Thanksgiving day with our husbands' families, then we meet at Mom and Dad's to share a lunch of Thanksgiving leftovers on Friday.

CLHCO Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 We're getting a camcorder! (Ok, if they're in stock we're getting one.) Jeans for the whole family too. There are often good sales on those days for jeans and we are having a jean crisis all over the house these days. Coats for my twins, plus gloves/hats for all. I used to always stay home and still would except for the jean crisis. I'll be sending dh for the camcorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far nothing, but last year we found Cars (blu-ray) for around $10 (can't remember exactly how much we spent on it, but I think it was $9.99) and a PS3 game for not much more than that.

PentecostalMom Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 You can also check www.blackfriday.info and www.bfads.net. I signed up for their emails and started getting them about two weeks ago. They have the ad scans and the lists of what is one sale, comparison shopping for prices and quality, and which items you can get on Thanksgiving Day at home. For example, Toys-R-Us opens at 10pm Thanksgiving night. I am going only to get batteries (The TRU brand in B1G1) and a free coloring book and 64-count crayons with any purchase. We are also going to JC Penney to get a free snow globe for our daughter's stocking, and Old Navy has cheap jeans. Since dh wears them every single day, it is a good day to get a great price. We will but several pairs, and if we get there early enough, we get a free XBOX game. We don't even have an XBOX, but it will make a great gift!

happyhomemaker25 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 In the past (well since becoming a responsible adult, er, mom) I have stayed tucked safely at home on Scary Friday. This year we get the check we plan to use for all of Christmas shopping the day before T-Giving so... we will be venturing out on Scary Friday. I really need some bargains. I'm making a day of it with my hubby and the baby. I'll throw her in the Ergo and let him protect us both!! I do have a Walmart, KMart, and Target with 30m of my house that are never crowded on Scary Friday. We will hit those stores first and then Venture to the other side of town for a Costco run and some stuff I want from JoAnne's and Lifeway. I'm actually kind of looking forward to it, but only because my mom will have my other kids and it will be kind of like a date. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanne in MN Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 It appears Wal-Mart has Band Hero for the Wii for $75. Since that's the only thing dd wants for Christmas and it's more than 50% off, that's what I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the time to check their "lightening deals" and know what you want, it's easy to save $$. The deals do go fast, less than 5 min, on that one I think. They have the games buy one get one 1/2 off too. So except for a pair of slippers she is done.:001_smile: I love shopping from home!!

stephanier.1765 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I would LOVE to go to Best Buy and get my mother a Nook for Christmas but I think the odds are too great against success for me to try. Both my older boys work there and my eldest is opening that day but they won't let him buy any of the goodies. Ugh! It would probably work out better for my sanity to pay full price. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
