dorkydiva Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 I'm new to BF, but it seems like with all the excitement on GottaDeal building up to BF then the madness of the actual day there might be some withdrawal afterwards. Anyone experience this?
starshine Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Oh yeah but then you can start getting excited for next year! After BF and Christmas then I can hit the clearence sales which is just as much fun without the mad people knocking you down and pushing you around.
erh12275 Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Oh yeah I have withdrawal...but I find other sales thru out the year to keep me goin.
ebony0421 Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 The withdrawls don't start for me unitl after the New Year's sales. Even though stores will be having sales to get rid of their winter stuff, those sales aren't as exciting.
Guest Deals4Me Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Withdrawls? Not really...till after Christmas... Cause then its all the preparing for christmas, then after christmas clearances... WOO hoo! THEN the withdrawl kicks in!!
best4less Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 I'm good until after Christmas between all the Christmas and after Christmas sales. After that, I start looking for travel bargins for our April vacation
Gporter34 Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 I have never had bf withdrawals. I love bf but I start getting anxious around the end of September, but talk about it all year. I love any sale, if it's good enough but I have certain ones that really get me excited. For example, after Christmas sales, winter clothes clearances, spring clearances, summer clearances, I guess I sort of see a pattern forming here, lol!!!
alimfp Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 I actually usually feel a bit of withdrawal BEFORE BF. Mainly because I am just anxious to get out there and see what I can get (that isn't in the ads), etc. And the anxiousness gets a bit old sometimes, so I start feeling annoyed the day or two before.. but then just hours before I am excited again. :)
eve Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 for a few hours, yes--- but then its on to christmas

elena_398 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I still head out to the clearance sales after christmas so i don't feel any withdrawals till January or so. Of course my checking account at that point is still recovering!
copados1993 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 what happens after BF????? Do people still post on here? I'll be lost without this!LOL!!!!!
elena_398 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 A lot of us stay all year long. You should too! We chat about everything. Its great
outnumbered Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 what happens after BF????? Do people still post on here? I'll be lost without this!LOL!!!!!After BF, move over to the Lounge. :) Last year before BF I only posted in the BF forum, and then after BF was over I posted a few times in the Lounge...and, well, that was it for me. I've been hooked ever since. LOL. You'll be able to find great sales and deals on all kinds of stuff all year long in the Online and Offline Hot Deals forums too.
copados1993 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I just started on here not that long ago, and have been hooked ever since!!! I couldn't imagine having to wait a whole year!!!!!
Brad Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 And we give away stuff all throughout the year as well :) We have the BF site every year because people like it so much, but we also hope that 2-3% of the thousands of new members that come for the BF site will stick around and become regular posters 365 days a year (although there's that saying "be careful what you wish for" so.... )
copados1993 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Thanks so mcuh for the info!!! You have me hooked! I'm happy to tell my friends about you!!!!
bayhaysay Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I don't have time for withdrawls. 3 kids and they've always got something going.

I just started posting in the Lounge recently and I am hooked. So if you do start having withdrawls the Lounge would be a good place for therapy. Hehe! just realized this is was my 200th post!
Momto32003 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I am having HUGE withdrawals. Mainly because I am not sure I can go this year. I am pregnant with someone else's baby. (I am a surrogate) I will be 20 weeks and not sure I should put myself in that position because it is someone else's baby. If it were my own it would be a different story. If I could get hubby up to go with me, I would still go but them I have to find a sitter. UUGGHH!! Any ideas?
copados1993 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Shop online this year instead of going out. No, it's not as much fun, but a lot less stressfull! BTW, Your doing a great thing for someone else!!!GOOD JOB!
