    Too soon to discuss store hours?

    in 2014

    Posted · Edited by babygirl913

    The premium outlets in my area are opening at 6PM on Thanksgiving day.  I wish they could bring some of those laws to my state. They same items will be available in the stores on Friday. I don't get the opening times that get earlier and earlier each year.  These early openings have killed the tradition of Black Friday really. I miss the days when Black Friday actually started on Friday around 4 to 5 AM :indiffere  Oh well if people would boycott going at these earlier start times they would get it.  But hey some  people will be out there so why would they change...

    Holidays Starting Early

    I noticed target and biglots had stuff out. I don't think its much different. As long as I can remember stores started putting stuff out in September. Seems about right though since Sept is over in a few days

    Outlet malls on Black Friday?

    I don't think I have the patience to try it. I hear the interstate is usually backed up for miles going towards the outlet near me, and parking I hear is a nightmare, as well as lines inside stores. Ive heard certain stores have actually had to close their doors to get a handle on the crowds:eyepoppin:

    Working on Black Friday

    I don't know if I will be scheduled for work yet. I do still have time to request off. But really I work evenings/night anyway so even if they do schedule me I can still go out in the morning if I wanted to.

    sams club or costco?

    Hello to a felllow 'Burgher!

     

    Doesn't look like anyone addressed your concern about buying for only three people. You might want to check each one out in advance to make sure they have the items you want to shop for, and that the sizes of the items will work for you.

     

    We only have two to shop for, and neither Sams nor Costco is effective for us because the sizes of the food items are too large to be convenient. And we don't buy enough clothes/electronics to justify the memberships just for that. But I'd be the first to admit that we're not much for shopping just to buy stuff.

     

    Ditto. Same here. I didn't renew my costco membership after it ran out at the end of last year. After doing the math it just wasn't cost effective. I found that some items weren't really a bargain. Doing the math showed me that a bigger pakage doesn't always mean a better bargain. I also found that I was doing better using manufacturers coupons in regular stores. I save a lot too when some grocery stores double and triple coupons. Target has a section with bulk items. When I use coupons on those items when they go on sale I come out way better than costco. For a small family I don't think it's worth it. I doubt that I broke even on the membership fee in savings in the one year. And last but not least the Costco's in my area are a big hassle more than anything. No matter what time of the day you go in there it is overcrowded and like a zoo. Forget about even trying to go in their on weekends. The line to the gas station is always out of this world. I decided that it really was not worth the hassle at all.

    I'm sorry but you have to have no life and be bran dead.:yup:

    Thats way to extreme.:no:

    Sorry don't mean to offend anybody.

    And neither store has anything worth waiting that long for.:eek::eek:

     

    How pathetic.

    Lunatics

     

    Exactly. People are getting ridiculous now and are taking this thing too far. I remember when 11PM on Thanksgiving night was considered "early" to line up at the stores. I love black friday too but I'm not missing valuable out time with family and friends to stand in line :rolleyes:

    Stealing or Getting Lucky.... What do you think?

    I would SO go back in...

     

    And how much stuff can you buy and not notice at the time of checkout, when the cashier gave you the total, that she didn't charge you for a CAMCORDER??

     

     

     

     

    Thank you. It's not like the camcorder was like a bag of chips or something were one wouldn't notice an extra few dollars not on thier total. How could one not notice that the cashier did not ring up a camcorder:confused:

     

    And yes the OP should go back and pay for it.
