dealluvr Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 when i was growing up my parents didn't drive, we didn't have a car so i never knew anything at all about black friday. just in the last few years have i went out. was there even a black friday back in the day, like late 60's early 70's? without a car i never looked at the paper too much either for stuff like that.
Brad Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 So what's your question??They want to know when BF "unofficially" started. I have no idea the exact year.
Guest DigDoug Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 They want to know when BF "unofficially" started. I have no idea the exact year.Ahhh... I see it now. Punctuation is a wonderful thing.
elena_398 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I don't remember my mom growing up shopping big on one day. maybe it was around, but not a "huge deal" until the last 5-10 years or so. I know I've been going out since 99.
Booterbunz Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 This is my 13th bf, kinda eery being 13 and friday..anyways, I remember some sort of shopping rush in the house after turkey day but don't really remember calling it bf until the last few years?!. I'm of a lot of help! LOL
Tracy72 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I never heard of it till I got married and my sil was going so I started with her.
starshine Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I remember going shopping with my mom, aunt and my Grandmother when I was a kid and that was 25 years ago. And we always called it Black Friday. My grandmother would always say at the end of the day "what are we crazy for going out on Black Friday" But we always went every year anyway.
Kandy Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I've been doing black fridays for about 10 years.
diane175 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I don't remember my mom ever talking about it, but have been personally doing it for awhile now. My mom was never the shopaholic though, when we were younger. Of course she loves it now!
mjmcca Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 when i was young my mom did most of her shopping through the Sears wish book. I remember getting that book and what toys i would want. She used to stash the goods at my grandmother's house. When we got older and clothes were the thing she started going out on BF and every other weekend heading up to Christmas. We would hit a different mall every weekend. We lived ( still do ) in Brooklyn and would hit every mall within a reasonable driving distnace on LI and NJ. Reasonable to my parents meant anything less than 2 hours so we went to a lot of malls. I still do this cause you find different things in different areas and it is fun to see what stores other malls have.
genoandkiddo Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Ok for those of you who got a cabbage patch in the 80's, you will remember that fateful Black Friday. Black Friday has been going on for over fifty years. My mother told me a time when her mother got dolled up to go shopping the day after thanksgiving, and then my grandmother would come home with bags of stuff. My mother rarely went but when she did, I can tell you she got some good deals. Oh Yeah don't forget the Attari. Both my parents went out that BF. And they probably spent like 400 just on the system and the games. And VCR's.
