ilikefree Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 It's always just my sister and me. DH went the first year with us and swore he'd never go again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borail Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I fly solo in my nice comfy home why people wait either days or hours in lines! I also learned some very good info to use for future bf events by the fourms on another site this year! Apparently Discover will PM Black Friday. So I will be looking at signing up for a Discover card before next year comes and just buy the items I want and have them PM later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wittenlover Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I go solo and make friends as needed in the stores. Met a great gal by the Pyrex at Walmart today. We worked together to get a couple things while her hubby was grabbing some other things. Impromptu teamwork. Love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeinKS Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Today it was myself with one of my daughters. My son probably would have gone, but he ended up sick. Usually hubby goes by himself, with occasionally a teen kid. I don't do the early morning stuff. I will do the online stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Got mama and my sister. They are slow. But that's okay, nice to have them around. I did all my shopping online already, so I'm good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smga1 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 My mom and I went this year. She is with me every other year. On the years mom is not here, I go by myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pogiporkchop Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I ended up taking DD with me to a couple stores. When we got to Walmart (2nd attempt) it was still chaos so I told her to get in the cart. More than one person, including a police officer, commented along the lines of "now that's the smart way to travel." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkilugi Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 My ds went with me this year. He is 14 (15 in 2 weeks) and has nice long arms to grab stuff for me now that he is younger and taller, lol. At one point I was frustrated by all of the people crammed in the aisles at WalMart and he just made the comment "push through them, that is what I have to do at school between classes". Wow - I can't imagine, but he said everyone wears their backpack at their school at with 2,100 students I guess the hallways get really jammed. I thought he might be a little overwhelmed but, nope, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redraccoon Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Usually I go with the spouse - its easier to zip through the whole store if there are two of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacya Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I go out alone. No one I know wants any part of the madness. They all think I'm crazy. Lol. DD12 wants to go but I think she is too young still. Told her a few more years and she should be able to handle it.This is me, too...only my DD is only 5, so it'll be a LONG time before I have company...but yes, my friends think I'm nuts, and not a one of them is brave enough to try it with me...oh well, I just have to prioritize, and go after what I want/need the most... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bribri25 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 This is me, too...only my DD is only 5, so it'll be a LONG time before I have company...but yes, my friends think I'm nuts, and not a one of them is brave enough to try it with me...oh well, I just have to prioritize, and go after what I want/need the most... It may not be THAT long... I took DD4 & DS3 with me on Friday morning to PetSmart, Menards, and Costco. Those still count! Of course I go solo on Thanksgiving because time is much more of the essence and more lines to wait in (which we all know is the epitome of a young child).

momtotimothy Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 My dad and I always go out together Thanksgiving night. He's just happy to be along for the ride and pretty much goes wherever for whatever I'm after. Mom and I always go out on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hack2222 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I think you have to either go with family that want to keep up the pace or go solo, your either going as fast as possible or your staying in the car. Start Thanksgiving Evening with sleep before the deals go live and then hit it hard till they stop the doorbusters. So sad when you hear over the intercom our doorbuster are ending in 20 mins such a let down, but that means the end is near for the day in stores, then its back to gottadeal for whatever sales come Cyber Monday and until xmas.
