My dh and I have made BF, our day. I've found that other people get a little fickle and changed their mind at the last minute, so I don't even bother asking other people anymore. There are those other folks who never want to go out, but always want you to bring them something back. There are a couple of people who I know can't get out there with us crazies and camp out, so I don't mind looking out for them. Who are you going shopping with on BF?

mother in law!!!!!!!!:g_dance:

I go with my son and we usually meet up with another family. I also pick up things for an elderly neighbor.

usually with DH. But this year he may have to work on Thankgiving overnight and wont get off from work till 530 am. SOo, I am going to take my 19 yr old son with me to stand outside with me and then meet up with Dh later that day. I am hoping that he doesnt have to work but he wants to because he gets paid triple time

Mother, MIL , SIL, Sometimed we meet friends. We always plan our route and items to get over thanksgiving dinner.

me and my ds hit one store while my dmom and aunt hit another store. My cousins end up at the 3rd and 4th store with their friends. We take everyones list for the store we are going to and then meet to eat and exchange things. We took my dh last year and he said never again..lol

I am always alone. I have a plan and have no time for others to slow me down, lol.

DH usually, but this year we have no sitter, so I"m flyin solo :(

I am always alone. I have a plan and have no time for others to slow me down, lol.

Amen!

My sister... it's our annual "date" and we make the plan via phone on Thanksgiving solely because we each go to our DHs' families so we have to call and plan out a route that is satisfactory. Inside each store we have went separate ways if we need to in order to get everything we need.

A couple of times my DD went with us, but this year she will be 8 1/2 mo pregnant with a 3 1/2 year old so I think that she won't feel like it.... I will bring back any goodies she wants though!

usually my MIL. if my SIL is in town, she goes with us.

I am always alone. I have a plan and have no time for others to slow me down, lol.

:yup: That's me. I send DH to another store (usually Target or Toys R Us) with a shopping list while I hit walmart. He wouldn't be able to handle Walmart! Then we meet up for breakfast around 7 a.m. at Bob Evans and then go our seperate ways again to finish out some shopping. We are both usually home with all the shopping done by 10:30-11:00.

My lovely wife has come with me the past couple years to wait in line. My brother was in town last year visiting and was all pumped about coming out... until it was time the night before to go and he decided that he "didn't feel like it" so we went without him and he met us up on Friday.

If mom and dad are here they will go, my DD and oldest DS DS20 and his girlfriend will go. I usually have somebody in various stores with a list. DD19's laptop that we got a BB 4 0r 5 years ago is acting funny. We are going to try a new hard drive but somone may be in line for a laptop this year.

Most years I've had my husband go along, but that's not a whole lot of fun. He hates it and since he's being such a good sport about going I feel like I can't really stay out as long as I want to.
The year before last I went with my aunt. We left my house around 330am and got home around midnight. We had a really good time.
Last year I had to go alone. We didn't have a sitter so hubby had to stay with the kids and my aunt was at her in-laws in another state. This year my aunt says she's going again.

I used to go with one of my sisters in law...or by myself. I think this year I will probably have to go by myself and maybe bring all 3 boys with me! Should be fun! Maybe I can talk my brother into going with me! DH would rather spend more money than to get up early for a good deal! He doesn't see the fun in the whole thing.

My sister, her friend, and I go!! We make it fun. Although, the've had to call and wake me up 2 years in a row!!! I get so worked up the night before, that I have trouble waking up. We plan our strategy the night before. We usually pick up stuff for each other. It's a fun annual event for us. Then we all go eat out together!!!! :) Can't wait to do it again.

Some years I go by myself.. and sometimes I go with friends or family.

This year I think a friend of mine will be going with me. She is a big time shopper and I think she can keep up with me ! :yup:

i have always went with my mamma but last year my sister and niece went with us ( in a seperate car) i always have friends that I keep in contact with by phone in case we need something at one anothers store though. we tried to take my aunt one year but she was BROWSING!! Yep! Just strolling around the store! I love her very much but never again!

My sister and I go...last year, her boyfriend went for the first time, and he LOVED it! We have our mom and dad watch her kids, and my dh takes our kids to his parents', since he won't go out, and I spend the night at my sister's. We take two (or three) vehicles, depending on our game plan, and we usually end up at different stores, getting whatever we want, so I'll pick up stuff for her, and she'll get stuff for me, so neither one of us slows the other down, and we know exactly what we are after. I even cased a couple of places last year ahead of time to see where things were going to be, to make it a little bit easier (though you can't do that with Wal-Mart, since the pallets are wrapped, and most not out yet)...it was good her bf came last year, because she had a TON to get in W-M, and having him there helped her get it all! We are constantly in contact by phone to tell each other what we got/didn't get (though it's very rare that we don't get what we went for...though we don't ever go to BB or CC), and at some point, usually after all of the doorbusters are over, and the rest of the world is awake and out shopping, we meet up...we are usually out and done and back home by 10 or 11...

OOOH, I'm excited just talking about it!! ;)

The wife came with me once a few years back for some Wal-Mart wait-in-line doorbusters. She never wanted to go again. Been lonely on BF ever since. Some people just don't know how to have fun. ;)

For the past two or three years, I have always gone with my best friend. We get together on the phone Thanksgiving day and plan our route. She has her list and ads for Walmart price matching and I have mine. We take her van or my SUV and it is always FULL and we can barely shut the door or open it for that matter because all the stuff keeps falling out. Hubbies watch the children for us and we usually do not get home until around 1 or 2.

I go with my mom. She isn't as hardcore as me but she does love a good deal and this day is one of the ones where I am actually organized, LOL.

One year there was an altercation at the Wal-Mart we were at my dh loved hearing about it. He acted like he wished he had been there but I know he would NEVER get up at 3:00 in the morning to go shopping. This year I might camp out and he will need to stay home with the kids.

I always go with my husband. We go to a few stores and then go eat breakfast. We then go out to more stores and shop until we get tired. Ahhh...I love Black Friday.

My sister lives about an hour away from me so I go to her house around 9:00p.m. on Thanksgiving night to stay all night with her. We stay up until about midnight planning what stores we are going to and in which order then we get up at 3:00 and go wait in line at the store that is 1st on our list!

My ds goes with me, hes too "old" for Santa so I really dont have to surprise him with anything but I always get some things he doesnt know about. He loves getting up early and going with me its our time together. Dh stays home with the younger kids.

The last few years I went with my dd-now 24- my sisters all go together- but I think that would slow me down-

I take my DD with me. There's no way I'd find (or could afford) a sitter for that early in the morning. I've already done most of my shopping for her either before BF or after it so whatever I find is either for me or both of us. If I'm shopping for gifts for others, she helps me decide which one to get for who. :) Last year I did get to shop with a couple of friends I met up with in Walmart but we only hit a couple of stores together since she had more people to shop for than I did.

Normally, my DH is the only one who goes with me, but last year we took a friend with us. She had such a good time that she wants to go with us again this year.

Its a family affair here :) I go with my mom, sister, grandma, and aunt. Last year my sis's best friend went and had a ball. She wants to go again, and so do a few others. We spend Thanksgiving dinner huddled around a turkey with sale ads, lol.

my cousin has been coming with me the last 2 yrs...they come out of state to my home for Thanksgiving so she comes with me...and my mom and 2 nieces and 2 sils....

I go by myself. Absolutely no one wants to head out and stay in line all night. I don't mind. It gets me in and out and to the next store more quickly. LOL

:gdyeahthat: I was coming in here to say the same thing! My family and friends say I'm "out of my mind" for getting up that early and heading out. My son has been bugging me to go and this would be so helpful to me, but I shop for him, he's 14, and he would see what I am buying. Plus, he would probably run his mouth to his sister as to what was bought!! I can't trust him. Maybe this year, if I can get his xBox 360 without him seeing it. YEAH RIGHT!!

My husband used to think I was crazy for going out so early, but now that he's had a taste of it, he's ready. I am telling ya if that man tells me one more time that we need to price a small tent for bf, I am going to scream.

it's always my mom, aunt, and I....it's a girls day only no guys allowed

Me, myself and I
I get in, get what I want and I'm outta there and on to the next store!:gdrunner:

I shop with my dh. He makes a big deal out of saying he HATES to shop black friday but we really have fun. There's nobody I'd rather go shopping with. In years past I've shopped with various members of my family, and a couple of friends but unless someone begs to go with us - I'll just prefer to stick with dh.

My mother.

I shopped with a (now ex) boyfriend in '98 and he was no fun at all. Wouldn't even LOOK at any of the doorbusters with me and the only thing he bought was a package of socks!! He had a fit when I wanted to actually buy something at Walmart! :eyepoppin

I go with my mom. We have a blast! DH stays home with the 3 kids. He went with me one time while we were dating and he vowed to never go again LOL.

My best friend, SIL, MIL and sometimes my cousin will head out around 4 am and hit walmart. The only main store in our town. Once we are done there we head back to my house to unload and then my DH joins us. I am not sure who will be going this year due to some changing jobs, moving etc.

My DH comes with me! HE likes it too.

I go with my DH

Growing up BF was mommy and me day. My mother and I would take that day just for us. Later on she started staying home with the grandkids so I started shopping alone on BF day.

Last year, I hope, was the start of a new BF for me! I went with my sister, (her first BF out shopping), my mother, and my oldest aunt. We had a blast!

Normally DH and I go but this year might be hard as we have no one to watch the kids unless I can talk my brother into coming over at o'dark thirty.

I go with DH... he loves BF! A Office Depot recently opened in our city and his first response was alright, another place to go on BF. LOL.

Two friends went with me while hubby was in Iraq a few years ago. I would much rather hubby went with me.

The last 4 years I have shopped with my Mom. Two years ago I talked my sister into going with us. She did not have a good experience the first year and in '06 she got more "aggressive" and got items. She is now hooked!! We are excited about our BF outing already!!

Always with my sister and a couple times our cousin went with us

I am always alone. I have a plan and have no time for others to slow me down, lol.

YES YES YES!!!! but i do go with others...i just get my syff and meet up laters...lol..or they would be at other stores and ill be at another store....less people i have to 'fight' with...

It has varied for me for the last few years. My dh went with me the first couple of years because he said he likes to see how crazy people get. I think its because he wanted to make sure I didnt spend all of our money:D But it really is a huge family thing. Last year my husband stayed at home with the kids and my mom,sister, cousin's wife, her mom and I shopped. We meet up with my aunt, cousin and her friend all meet up for breakfast and then went back out. I am so ready. I have already decided my game plan for this year. Is it time yet!!:eyepoppin

My DD went with me the first time a few years ago when I was not buying her anything and now I think she would hurt me if I left her at home. ;)

I go with my daughter. Men just don't have the stamana to shop till you drop!

When I was younger my cousin and I would go with my grandma, two aunts and my mom. About 10 or 11 my dad and her dad would come pick us up and take us to lunch and a movie. They'd shop until like 8 or 9 that night.

When I became an adult and started doing some mega shopping I was astonished to find myself done and ready to head home at 9 or 10 in the morning. Of course, I also go by myself so I don't have to wait for anyone. When I'm in line I sometimes wish I had someone with me, but I love getting done so fast.

Me, myself and I
I get in, get what I want and I'm outta there and on to the next store!:gdrunner:

:gdyeahthat:

Normally solo and run into family while out shopping.
Last year was the first time I went with my very best friend. My son and I drove to her family Thanksgiving noon since my husband is a police officer and had to work that coming weekend. She lives nearly 3 hours away. Her husband gladly babysat for us. We had such a great time and looking forward to it this year.

My mom and my two sisters for the 5 am - 12 pm shift. In the past, my husband has been our taxi driver (LOL) from 12pm to 7pm when we venture to the big city :)

I usually drag hubby along so that he can deal with the traffic while I sit back and relax. He also comes in handy to carry the bags!

My mom and my sister.

My mommy of course!!~ a couple of people have tried to come but they couldn't hang... my step sister came with us 2 yrs ago and we were at BB at 8PM when it opened and we got our stuffed she was like "we're going somewhere else??!! we sent her home in mom's car!!

I go with my sister. We usually have some friends that go also so if there is a doorbuster at a store that we weren't planning on hitting really early they can help us out (and vice versa). :)

since this year I live so far from everyone I guess I'll go with friends but my sister will have to be shopping with her adult children in Atlanta for things that I want and we will meet later in the day to hook up and split everything.

I have gone by myself and with dh. I'll probably go alone if I go at all this year. Last year there was nothing I wanted/needed.

My SIL...my dh thinks we are crazy as do most in the family...we have the same shopping speed so we get in and fly out we split up in the store with each others list that we divide in half and call each other and meet in our meeting spot..hahaha..its like mission impossible

My oldest son has gone with me the past 2 years. Then we hit Denny's for breakfast. 2 of my brothers go out in the Orlando area and we call each other to see if there is something we need in the stores they are in, if it is out of stock in Jax. Strangely, doorbusters that sell out in Jax are often still avail in Orlando??? And my oldest brother went to Walmart in St Augustine 3 hours into the fray and got doorbusters the past 2 years, so I am willing to call on others to get out of their beds!!! But I like the anticipation of standing in lines and talking to the people around me.

I go with my DH...Although, a few years ago we invited my BIL and he has been coming ever since. My family is usually all over so we pick thing's up for each other.

My boyfriend is the one that got me into it!

I go with my Mother (has MS & is in motorized scooter - nice parking spaces & we pile her up with stuff) & Dad (drives van and takes purchased items to van. He is also great for standing in line while we shop and add stuff to the cart. Lately, my DD20 has come the last couple of years and loves it!

sister in law.... We usually take her van, but she sold it this year and bought a convertible, so now we will have to take my CRV, which probably won't hold as much!

DD

It started with me, then my wife got involved, then some friends joined in, so who knows this year?!! It is a whole lot easier with a group of friends!

Me and mom always and then whoever feels like tagging along that year!

Last year I went with one of my brothers. This year I will be going with DH.

the last couple of years I have gone with my neighbor. Prior I went alone.

My group has grown...my sig. other, my daughters, their husband and fiance, my Mom if she is here visiting, this year youngest dd's Mother In Law will be joing us...and a couple of friends join up with us at the stores and join in the night before planning...minimum of 3 vehicles for core group and cell phones charged...

A group of friends I have gone with for the past 5 years or so, but thanks to GD, I really didn't need that much last year, my BF purchases were mostly "wants". This year, my 16 year old son may stand on line at BB if they have a lappy for a good price. I would like to get one for each of my kids, so I may have him and his brother camp out.

I shop with my mom who swears she wont do it again that next year but always does, probably because she has the easiest part since I run (and I do mean run) to get everything and all she has to do is watch the cart(s).

I always go with my mom and then after we're done, we go out for a nice lunch.

I go with my husband. This will be our third year and he is getting into more and more each year:D

DH goes with me after he swore off ever going with me.. he has learned that if he goes he can get video games and movies cheap.:g_laughin

I usually go by myself, but last year I went with my m-i-l. We had a blast and plan on doing it again.

I always go with my sister. we have been known to drag her DH along with us and that works out fine. I took a boyfriend one yr to fry's. Fry's is stupid and its a grab what u can store with no tickets handed out. I was first in line. i went one way with my list bf just had to go another and grab a tv. by the time i got over there all the tv's were gone!. One guy was sitting up in the air on a stack of 4 tv's!!! and my lovely bf had none. he just couldnt hack the pressure and competition hahaha. i think that is why he is now my X. That is the true test of a relationship----true love----how they deal with my BF plans. LOL
Ya just gotta be tuff enuff to handle it. So i will stick with my tried and true shopping buddy my sister. Even when she moved 3 time zones away we did BF by phone. It worked great cuz she was able to give me heads up on happenings with stores that opened 3 hrs b4 mine did :D

But she is back in vegas with me again and we are already discussing BF and anxiously awaiting the release of sales ads to plan our strategy. All i can say is thank God for Gotta Deal. Does anyone else remember the prehistoric times we u had to rush and get the paper on thursday and figure out ur game plan all in one day while cooking Turkey day dinner then head to the stores almost blind hoping ur paper had ALL the sales ads in it LOL. Awww....thank u gotta deal for bringing us into the 21st century :D

I either go alone or with my cousin.

I've usually gone by myself, it's just easier. But last year DH met up with me around 6 and went to a couple of stores with me. It was nice to be able to take his car for the rest of the day while he took mine home and unloaded. He also was a good line place holder, and is extremely tall, so he was able to get a few things that were "out" on lower shelves. I've hit him up for going this year to a few stores and he probably will. However, I'll probably still do the bulk of BF on my own. It all sort of depends on who's living at our house by then (foster parents).

Most of the time by myself *sigh* No one understands it's the early bird that gets the worm!

Well it turns out my sister wants to go to Best Buy this year with her hubby!

She saw how busy it was when we passed there at 3AM last year, but she still wants to go. I told her no way I was going to Best Buy and good luck! :eyepoppin

I will babysit her son Thanksgiving day, and my mother will have him the rest of the night as I do plan to head out to WalMart and a few other stores.

So I am back to shopping alone on BF, which is good as I can go where I want, when I want, and most important come home when I want. :cheesy:

:holiday08 :holiday08

My mom's (deceased 2 years) bestfriend and my niece (16). It's a yearly thing. She promised to carry on the tradition after my mom passed away and we hooked her! The first year she was like I can't believe I am doing this, but by the end of the day, she was like look how much I got done with very little money!

My mom:D ....we make a day of it and leave the kids with my MIL who can't stand shopping on Black Friday!!:shock:

I had gone alone for years and last year my husband had off so he ventured out with me. I thought he would hate it but he had just as good a time as I did. I look forward to him joining me this year too!

I like to go it alone in the early hours in order to move in and out quickly among the crowd but if the husband takes out, we tagteam early and then regroup midday for whatever is left.

I go alone w/ cell phone, comparing prices with my sister and sister in laws. Sometimes we meet up with each other. DH also thinks I am out of mind - but I have fun with it.

hubby and I go out every BF

I go by myself. :( I have noone that wants to go with me. They all think that going shopping that early is crazy!

My SO and I go. Family thinks we're nuts (and they may be right) but they sure don't complain about their holiday gifts! :smart:

It depends on what we did for Thanksgiving and who was visiting. I've gone out alone, with my dad, and most frequently with my partner.

Any one that would be dumb enough to fall for the whole "I'll be glad if you come. I'll even help you make sure we get your stuff first! :rolleyes: " Of course... as soon as the doors fly open, we "somehow" get seperated and never find each other until we get done. Hmmm... wonder how that happens? :rolleyes:

Always with my husband..last year we had a tagalong and they griped the whole time :(

My brother. Everyone else thinks were crazy.

My sister comes home from colorado for thanksgiving. So my sister, my daughter and me
sometimes my best friend comes along.

hubby usually occasionally with sis-in-law

I go alone so I can shop in peace. :D

I shop with my mom and sister-in-law.

Hopefully this year with my sister if she isnt at our dads! last year i had to work half day and went out after alone!

I have done it with sil,with dh, but usually found it most affective alone, haven't asked dh if he wants to go or not . keep you up dated.
I just love black friday the earlier the better.

My Mom And So And I Guess I Will Take My Baby This Year If I Cant Find Anyone To Watch Her

I'm usually a loner, but I think I'll try to con dh into going with me this year and making a day of it.

My sister and sometimes my Dad

It started off just me and my mom then my dh wanted too know why we get soo excited about going on bf that he went last year and is now hooked he keeps telling my dad that he has too turn down working the day after thanksgiving so he can watch the kids.

My sil and I have been going for the last 4 years or so together. last year dh went to bb and I think he is going to go do that by himeself--I really don't think I could do bb. sil and i usually hit walmart, kmart, meijer and JcPenny's. However this year I am going to be home (in Ohio) where we have a lot more stores to choose from--I'm hoping she'll come down from MI and keep up the tradition. She's fun to go with and we help each other out when we can.

Amy

Can someone please explain the abbreviations for me? DH? DS? DD? etc?

I have gone with a friend or two....but last year i went by myself....i might end up going by myself again this year....was easier to get to what i want and to the stores in the order i want....

For the first time I will be going alone, and like others said I think I might enjoy it better.. No one to nag me or rush me or give me a headache and there will be room in my car for all my packages.

I go shopping with my niece. We got so excited last time we went we didn't even stop for Lunch!

I go with my mom when it's our year to spend Thanksgiving with her (off years, I go myself...no mother-in-law ;) ). If my sister's not scheduled to work until later in the day (she works at Hastings), she'll go. Mom, sis and I scour the ads and come up with the "Game Plan" and decide what to do...generally, if we find out a walmart nearby is PMing, we generally just go there, then Walgreens and others after we're done there...

*Generally, we run by JCPenney first, however, 'cause they always have their annual ornament, and it's tradition for the 3 of us to get one*

I go with my BFF on BF!! LOL Our hubby's generally have to work that day... Plus, they could NEVER handle it!! My hubby is the most impatient person I've ever met!! He enjoys all of the things I get, but could never handle standing in line in the COLD!! We live in Michigan and it gets down right frigid sometimes!!

Something else to think about... my friend and I take either our cell phones or 2-way radios, that way if we get separated, we can find each other again!! A lot of times, we can't get cell phone signals in the store, so the 2-way radios work best!! I'm sure most of you do this, but maybe some of the BF rookies hadn't thought about that!!

I'm so excited for this year!! Even though I know it will be a while... I check here everyday to see if there are any more ads!!

I always go with my brother & sil. It is our tradition.:D We shop all day, drag our tired butts for breakfast/lunch, then all go home and crash.

Me and my best friend have made this our day of fun for years. We love the hustle and bustle of the lines and trying to get the items we want, have already started planning for this years adventure!!!!!!!!

I am always alone. I have a plan and have no time for others to slow me down, lol.

I go alone too for this exact reason!!:yup:

I go with my sister.It is our annual tradition.We get the ads and make our lists,then plan out where to go first.We have spent many,many hours standing in long lines,while freezing from the cold-especially at the toy stores.I remember her waiting in line at Walmart,for what seemed like forever,while almost 6 months pregnant with twins! Everyone in her husband's family think we are crazy,but we get great deals,save money,and add to our wonderful sister time memories.:) We can't wait for Black Friday 2007! :holiday08

Last year was the first year that my son (10) went with me...He LOVED it and can't wait to go this year.....It is our tradition now, (Maybe we'll let my hubby go this year too...LOL)

I go shopping with my mom. We usually devise a game plan after Thanksgiving dinner, if we haven't already done so. Then, she comes and picks me up and we begin the waiting game at the first store. We are usually done with all of our shopping by 9am, if not earlier.

I go with my mom, sometimes my dad or sister will come along, but mostly it's just me and the mom. I usally get everything ready and tell her where we need to go because I know what she'll want to get for everybody lol

This year it will just be me and my mom. Last year my best friend went and she said never again!

Had a ex-friend go with me 2 yrs but she WHINED the whole time. SOOOOO not the day for that, keep up or stay home!:gdparanoid:

It depends on what our Thanksgiving plans are. Over the last 5 years it has varied from alone, with my mother, with my mother and daughter (she saved the checkout line while we ran and got things), and last year mom and I tagteamed over cell phones but in differant towns and states. This year will also probably be a tagteam effort as we will be at my mil.

I usually go out with my mom. We actually don't like to take to many other people because they are usually not up for it and only want to complain.

:cheesy: I shop with my Mother, Best friend and husband. My husband goes to the electronic stores and we go to Kohls and then we meet up at Walmart

Always with my Best Friend. :D

Dh and I go together along with our 2 girls (7 and 9). I would love to ditch the kids but we have no sitter and no family close by so they come with us.

I go alone. I will meet my sister at Walmart and we'll split up and get things for each other that's on our list, then we meet and trade items and I go onto the other stores alone. If I go with someone I hate having to wait for them and everything. I go with a plan and get in and out as fast as I can.:)

i usually go with one of my sisters every year is different they never want to go until the last minute when im leaving one of them and their husband go with me my husband never goes since he has to work at 5am he cant go the only time he went was the first year i went in 2000 and i kinda got hooked on going after that

Usually my 19 yo sister goes with me, but last year I took my well he wass 1 1/2 than DS and my 9 yo sister. so it was fun. As my sister grabbed and ran for the things and I got what I could with my son. I guess this year it will be the same unless this baby comes before I may not be able to go at all :(

I go alone.:yup:

My sister and I have three times a year where we get together. The LA Times travel show, day after Christmas shopping and BF shopping! We tried taking someone else with us before, but BF is not for the faint at heart. We decided we would keep this day just for us, no husbands, kids, etc. Just the two of us shop, shop, shopping.

my sister, but this year we're adding my brother's girlfriend to the mix!

I used to go alone and LOVED it. Now I go with a friend of mine, she gets into it as much as me:yup: .

I do all the driving ~ she buys breakfast on the run and gives me a few bucks for gas.

I'll be going alone this year. I used to go with my sister but she's been getting on my nerves lately so I'm just going by my little old self! :)

My lil' sis aka partner in crime is PG. Hopefully she will be up to shopping.

I always go shopping with my Mom on Black Friday :yup: .

my wife usually meets up with me after i've done the waiting and the store opens up. not line cutting, just helping with items at the register and then we go on to other stores together. i'll always pick one store to wait all night at then the lesser ones are more casual. either that or she'll go with her mom to somewhere like sears and jcpenny after it opens.

I bring my husband and sister in-law

BF was a tradition for a old friend and myself but this will be the first year we dont I'm not with another die hard BF queen. I will go with my boyfriend and sister in law:D

Well, my first year (2 years ago) was with my cousins, but last year was with friends. Being in High School, its a lot more exciting to go with friends. Last year, I did something stupid at Circuit City where I screamed out "I FOUND THE HARDDRIVES" to my friends. It was nice that all of us got the hard drives, but it was a really bad idea.

My mom and I go alone - I would NEVER take my kids out on BF so my husband gets to stay home with them =}}} What a day!

:eyepoppin usually meeeeeeeeeeee. I will wait in line at whichever store has the item I want for myself that is the best deal and then do everybody elses that morning. Usually end up having to empty the vehicle and go back atleast once. All done by 3-4 that afternoon.

I always travel alone...no-one else is willing to run for stuff and I don't want to try to find people again during the craziness...it's like quality "ME" time :) Plus I usually make friends along the way in line!

I pretty much refuse to go alone, so I'm hoping I can talk my mom into going with me this year.

My sister!!!!!

Dh and I go in one car and meet up with my mom and 2 sisters at WM around 4am. We get all we can from other ads for PMing, while dh & youngest sis wait at the DBs we want. Dh is 6'4 and the size of a pro-linebacker so he usually gets whatever we need, lol. After WM, we head to seperate stores w/ combined lists, then meet back up at Gordman's or Target. Have to dump mom after WM or we'd never get out of there, lol!
