Gporter34 Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Do people who do not BF shop call you crazy? I think that it is a sport. I look at it like men going deer hunting.lol I have a list and it is fun to hunt items down and bring them home to wrap. It's my kind of fun. So far, I haven't gone BF shopping without getting everything on my list. Some years some things have been hrd to get, some close to impossible, but I haven't met a deal I haven't got!lol However, this year has me a little scared. I think that getting two digital cameras, laptop, and everything else at WalMart will either make me or break me.lol:gd_purple
Christypl Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 It is something I look forward to. I like planning it out. The night before I cant sleep because I cant wait to get out the door.
rgb Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 I am the same way! I live for this big shopping day. I am so excited! My sister says she is not going to dicuss the ads with me for the next month.LOL! I hardly get any sleep the night before because I am making my lists, planning, and rechecking my lists. Then I am so excited that I can't fall asleep. Last year I was a little disappointed with the sales. I hope this year doesn't let me down!!
gigit65 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 My husband used to call me crazy till he saw how much I saved now he is willing to let me have my day. He enjoys the benefits. Life is good!!!!!
elena_398 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 My entire family heads out on BF. However, NONE of my friends will go out.
Jenniferharrison82 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I guess I get a little crazed, as I am having a harder and harder time getting people to go with me, lol.
elena_398 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 My friends always laugh at the time Im in line on BF (by 2am). They don't go out at all, but always are amazed at the deals I find. last year several wanted me to "pick" up some items. Needless to say, I told them I would have my own hands full with my deals!
saraczek Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Surprisingly most of the people I work with didn't even know what BF is!! That's a sin...lol. After telling them the scenario of BF, they did think I was crazy to go out shopping that early.
erh12275 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 YES! I have tried for a few years to get my sister into it and NO LUCK. She thinks I am a nutcase. Course I think the same of her for paying FULL price for everything.
Stowasser Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I don't think now anyone would call me crazy. I have everyone going around Target just looking at the inside endcaps. They see the deals I am getting and they enjoy the hunt now, like I do. Though, if I want to go BF shopping, its generally alone. I don't have much family and don't know too many people but I still have fun. Being on this board helps too, common craziness!
BFQueenofNY Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I get called crazy all the time. They just don't get it
pumpkin255violet Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I cant even bribe someone to go with me to BF. They think the crowds and standing in the cold is nuts.
Gporter34 Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 I don't mind the cold, the crowds, or the lines. They just don't seem to matter when I'm that hyped up for bf.lol
bayhaysay Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 My sister and I go together, and alot of our friends go BF shopping, but no family members. They call us crazy, and then send us after things to pick up for them. Go figure.
timberlyn Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 We have thanksgiving dinner with the inlaws on friday and after being up all night and day shopping i am sooo tired by the time we get there. They all call me crazy, but when you think about it I am the one who gets to sleep during the inlaws dinner !!!!!! I personally think I'm not crazy but just brilliant...lol!
dealluvr Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 even if black friday isn't around the corner they call me crazy! i went to get a flu shot yesterday and i was waiting in line for about 20 minutes in the cold by the delaware river BRRRR! very cold i was thinking that is what BF is going to be like!
floridasun5 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 My parents think Im crazy, but they just dont like anything to do with crowds. They just moved out into the boonies because they didnt like the growing crowd of the small town they lived in Dh used to think I was crazy and still doenst 100% enjoy Black Friday as last year was the first year I took him, but he was just asking what we are going to buy this year, so I guess he wants to go again!
best4less Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I am the only person I know that goes shopping on BF so everyone thinks I'm crazy. Then again, they think I am pretty much insane even when its not BF lol
deanner Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I am called crazy every year!!! I used to enjoy going with other ppl, however now I would rather go alone so I dont have to wait for someone else, I can get my deals at one store and head out to the next right away!!! :)
Crazy Mama Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Everyone thinks I'm crazy! I enjoy it if I get what I went after. If not I just gripe and hope to do better next year.
Guest outrbanx Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 People call me crazy........but not just about BF.
Gporter34 Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 I get really ticked sometimes because people don't understand what is so great about bf. I had a lady tell me one day, "Only crazy people go shopping in those crowds that early in the morning." I had to explain to her that us "crazy" people appreciate that people like her stay at home in bed on bf and out of OUR way!!!lol
copados1993 Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I've had friends tell me they had no idea what BF even was!!!!! They think I'm nuts to go stand in a long line at 3 am with nothing but a cup of coffee. These people have no idea what they are missing out on!!!!!Long live BF!!!
Peshua Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 CRAZY? Lemme tell you.........I went shopping on BF one year with my daughter (rgb) you wanna talk crazy!! Thanksgiving night we were at her house, she had ALL of the ads out comparing items and prices and making her list by store and making notes next to each item with the location of the item in the store. When i asked her how she knew where everything thing would be, told her that they would prolly move everything around for the sale she told me she had been to the stores earlier Thanksgiving day and "scoped out" the place said they were all getting ready! I just shook my head! When she picked me up at 3 am I have to say I was impressed, I had NEVER seen her as organized for anything as she was for this event..... she had her lists along with all the ads.......she is not a very patient person so you can imagine standing in line with her! "I wish they would hurry up" "Did you see that? That's not fair" etc etc When the doors opened I could not believe how this other wise calm laid back daughter of mine turned into a CRAZY person........she took off like a bat out of hell knew what she wanted where it was etc.........when i finally caught up with her she was standing with a look I had never seen on her before she was watching this older lady who had an item in her hand looking at it undecided naturally it was the last of the item finally I saw her walk up to this women and ask if she was going to purchase it the lady informed her that she was not sure.. at which point my daughter says "oh, well i AM sure" and she TOOK the item from the lady.... at the check out she starts going through her pockets and looking like she was going to faint she kept saying "OMG OMG I lost it" so, me, thinking she lost her money or other method of payment got nervous and said " what what did you loose? she said "MY LIST" that was when i said "I'll meet you outside I NEED a cigarette!!" So Crazy you ask? Oh yeah we call HER CRAZY!
Mommie2one Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 Im neighbors with Elena on this board and she has always called me crazy NOT to go out. So this year will be my first. Im excited and look forward to the deals. I've learned from the best (haha) and will head out super early.
gisellerol Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 LOL WE ARE ALL CRAZY BUT IT IS VERRY WELL WORTH IT DON'T YA THINK
Gporter34 Posted November 13, 2005 Author Posted November 13, 2005 Peshua, your daughter sounds like my kind of BF shopping buddy.LMAO!!! I have been doing this alot longer than my mom, who is now my "partner in crime". She used to say she would rather pay full price than go out in that crowd. All it took was one year of BF for her and now she's as bad as me.
