[Pet Peeves of Black Friday shopping]

1. Rude customers to employees

2. Customers that cut in line after I have been waiting for a long time.

3. Staff that do not know where things are in the ad. The management did not train them properly.

4. Slow staff that ring up very very slowly.

[How soon do you put up your Christmas tree]

We put the tree up Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. It will take me all day.

[It aint what it used to be! Let's discuss early opening times...]

I would rather get up early then shop all night long. I don't want to miss family time. I feel bad that the employees are losing another holiday with their families.

[Who still sends actual Christmas cards?]

I make photo cards every year. This way my family can see how the boys have grown.

[Those items you can't resist on Black Friday?]

pjs, kids clothes, vacums

[Are you planning on spending more or less on Christmas this year?]

I wil probably about the same to less. We are going on a disney trip in aJnuary.

[What items are you hoping for the best deal on for Black Friday?]

A DS - 3D for my little boy.

[Toys R Us Hot Toys List for 2012]

Jake and Neverland Pirates is a favorite in our house plus the Legos.

[Cricut advice]

Here is the link about being discontinue from one of many scrapbook boards. It has been all over the scrapbooking message boards.

http://cartridgelibrary.com/cricut-imagine-discontinued/

 

Provocraft will still provide support the imagine.

[Cricut advice]

I have the personal cricut. It cuts to 6 inches. It is great. I am hoping to upgrade this Christmas to the Expression 2. It cuts up to 12 inches.

I would suggest the Expression 2. Michaels and AC moore have them in their ad. Stay away from the Imagine. It is being discontinue plus you have to buy print cartidges. My 2 cents.

[Michael's Black Friday Ad Posted]

Not a good ad this year. No good Circuit stuffed.

[Cricut??? how does it look?]

The problem with the Imagine is you have to buy print cartidges for it. I am waiting to see if AC Moore or Joanns has a good price. The Michaels is a good price for the Expression. You do not need print cartidges for it.

[Official "Where is this store's ad?" & "Does this store do BF?" Thread]

I go to Michaels every year. I cant wait to see the ad.

[Cricut??? how does it look?]

It is the imagine. Provocraft is discontinuing it.

[christmas eve..or christmas day]

We open our gifts on Christmas day. We put out cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve so he remembers our house.

[Who will you be shopping with this Black Friday]

It will be with a friend. If she can not go, I will go alone.
