Black Friday shopping....

I have not been Black Friday shopping in probably 5 or 6 years, mostly because we didn't have the money or the time, or my husband had to work and I had the kids. I went today though. I got a V-Smile for $30, it's usually like $50 or $60, and a game to go with it for $10. I also got a pair of pajamas for each of my kids for only $3 each, a blu ray movie for my hubby for $10, and a couple toys for my daughter for less than $10 each. Not a whole lot, I know, and none of the big ticket items people usually go for, but every little bit helps. In a little while I plan on dropping my kids off at my mother's and going to Toys R Us for this Diego toy they had that my 3 year old would love, and then back to Walmart to do grocery shopping and pick through anything else they may have left over.

I'm like you can't deal with the crowds and don't want to get up so early. I don't want to deal with people and their craziness that overcomes them when they are trying to get the last toy on the self.

I have been shopping on Black Friday before. Now I avoid it altogether. I have finished for the kids. Still need to get for hubby. But the lines today are insane. And so are some of the people. So I am still in pj's taking it easy.

We wanted to go but did not get home last night until 1130pm. We were exhausted. If we went it would be to Walmart to try to get the laptop, the gps, and a sewing machine. Oh well, gotta watch the sales now. I have none of my Christmas shopping done yet.

I'm doing Black Friday shopping now for 2 years but online. I usually aim at the jewelry sales at Amazon, Overstock or Ebay. I get these little gifts for my daughters, my sister and mother. I've never been to the shops and all that stuff of crowds and gettin up early on Black Friday. I guess I do a Black Friday shopping of my own at home.

I set my alarm for early this morning, but I fell back to sleep. w

hi froggieslover I have never gone black friday shopping and now Ihave such a time getting around with a bad leg 'and using a quad cane. I do go on our shopping outings with our activity director me and five others from gold crest,we go to places like Walmart and the 99 cent store and I do okay for an hour or so. but crowds are hard for me.

Well, I've got about an hour and a half before I am going to be out the door to do my Black Friday shopping. I'm meeting my brother and sister-in-law at the Wal-Mart that is just down the street from my house and we are going to load up a cart together. As for me, I'm getting a Tinkerbell comforter for my daughter and a Cars comforter for my son. Also, if Wal-Mart is going to match the doorbuster prices on Littlest Petshop figures that Meijers has, I am hoping to get some of those for my daughter as well. I've been a Black Friday shopper since before it was known as Black Friday. I remember being a child and going shopping with my mother and grandma on the day after Thanksgiving.

I go shopping when I need or want to. And I dn't care whether it's black friday.

I went Black Friday shopping quite a few years ago, but I remember it well because it was so chaotic. We chose Best Buy as our first store because they had some great deals on electronics that year. I stood in line for about five hours at least, but it was a fun experience. I have not been shopping on Black Friday since because I either don't feel like getting up and fighting the crowds, or I can get a similar deal online.
