Brick and Mortar or Online?

As we have scaled down the gift giving except for for granddaughter, don't plan on hitting the stores, will be doing any shopping online this year. We will stay home and enjoy the ballgames, food and family. The last couple of years the finds haven't been that great in the store plus with the change of hours, the crowds are horrible. We may venture out later or on Friday but the list is short, we shall see.

I do online for what we "need" and go to brick and mortar for the fun!

 

Best things to get online depend on what you are shopping for.  Probably the "limited supply" items as the online sales start earlier in the week.  If you miss them, you have a second chance in person.

Some of both.  I will look online Wednesday night to see if I can get things on my list.  I do this regularly now, but this year I will be driving long distance (New York to Texas) for Thanksgiving, so buying online saves space in the car for the long trip home.  But I will also do in store shopping in part for the adventure, and for smaller items I don't see online.

I do both as well!  I already started my online shopping and will continue as I see deals.  I can't give up physically going out, but I DO wait until Friday.  There is a part of me that misses the craziness on Friday mornings, but another part of me that loves that I'm part of a smaller crowd of early morning BF shoppers.  By the time I go out, the crazy's are gone!

I loved all the online sales last year. The bulk of what I needed was available online. I still went out for the things I wasn't able to purchase online. I do love being out and about in the stores. We have a good time shopping followed by a big breakfast break and gear up to go out again.

We snag all the deals online. Later in the day after the crowds have died down, we'll hit Home Depot, Target, Lowes..We've got Elite status at Best Buy this year, so hoping to get it all even earlier.

Gotta love the early sale for Best Buy; I believe last year all of my items from there were ordered by Tuesday :) and I even made Elite Plus this year!!

Online all the way. We did go out to some stores the afternoon of Black Friday and by us the stores were deserted by then - I was able to get all the things I wanted from WalMart and Home Depot that I couldn't order online. Hadn't planned to go but we had gotten our Christmas tree and the stand we had was too big for the trunk so we needed a new stand.

My RA has been going above and beyond the call of duty recently, so I will probably be online more than in store this year, sadly. I will still probably venture out, but it won't be until later in the morning after I've had a chance to become functional again.

I'll be out of town in "Small Town USA" territory with the only big store in town being a Walmart and everything else a good hour+ away, so not sure I'll be able to get out to brick-and-mortar stores this year. Will be the first time in many a year. Need to find someone who will go to JCP for me and get a snowglobe, since I won't be able to! :gdthums:

The little snow globes are a nice little thank you! I hope JCP does the buttons again. I was able to save $30 with those buttons.

I was so happy with Best Buy last year. The video games and headsets! Yes, their sale did start early!
