lovebears65 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I have to admit that I shop on BF because the thrill of the hunt. I do not mind the crowds and I love watching other people. ITs one day of the year that I am in a shopping bliss What about you besides the good deals what do you like about BF
starshine Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Definitly the thrill of the hunt is a factor with me. Sometimes I go when I don't really need anything it's such a rush just being there.
dealluvr Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 sure i like the deals but if i don't get one it's not going to ruin my day.i also just like watching people in general and some people out there on BF take it very seriously!
erh12275 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Not so much for me. I go for the sales. According to my family I would buy a turd if it was on sale. If there's a big sale I am there...lol.
Gporter34 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I go because I have five kids and it's a good time to shop for them. I can get them more and better gifts for less money. I have to admit, I also go for the thrill.lol It is the thrill of the hunt for me, too. I get a rush when the store starts filling up and I get everything on my list.lol
shanni Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I love all of it, the crowds, the people that throw a fit in the middle of the store and make a fool of themselves. Just the whole atmosphere~!
Guest all2tired Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I like the excitement just wish I didn't have to go alone
jjrobin Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I like to go for both, the deals and the ppl watching experience. I always get a big kick out of some ppl who do take it seriously!
best4less Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I go for the excitment and because I love to shop! lol Even if there is nothing I want, I will go. I am weird like that though, the MORE people shopping, the happier I am.
rosegarden Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I MUST STOP READING THESE POSTS!!!! I want to be out on BF ! But wait, I'm going to Disney World, so what the heck!
SuperMommy Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I go for all of it!! The deals, and the excitement. I go with other women in my family and we just make a fun day out of it!! And I love my daughter to death, but it's one of the only days of the year that I can have some ADULT TIME!!! :gd_purple :gd_purple
JazzMama Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I do like the thrill ... I mean, come on, there's nothing like the feeling of satisfaction when you get the very, very last item that's available, right??!! However, that said, everything else is exciting too - I run into so many people and meet alot of really nice people. So, all in all, the whole experience is a plus.
Guest Deals4Me Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I love it....its the thrill of the hunt...the exhilaration of victory in finding it, and the smell of the not so deep hole in the wallet! LOL
drmy91 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Its all about the excitement for the good deal. And to be done with Christmas shopping within one day....
elena_398 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I love racing to the deals and grabbing something thats almost gone (Im bad). I look forward to BF all year long!
mrsbmb Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I like the hunt too..did you ever try to go around the maze of people to get to an item...lol i have tried short cuts to beat the line.. i have done this and failed and had to go all around again and i have suceeded at other times..its fun.. i also like directing other hungrey for the sale item people to the item if i already have it.. the whole thing is just fun... except lugging it all in when you get home. kathy
nol1305 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 My friends and I pour over the ads after we finish cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Our families know to leave us alone. We have our lists ready and load up with shopping bags, coffee or diet dr. pepper and whatever kids are able to wake up and not get lost (we have a starting minimum age of 15). After we hit Wal-mart, then it's to the mall, to get the free ornament at Penney's, bags and bags of cracker jacks at Proffitts (one of which has a diamond ring, or that is the rumor),and the freebie from the mall information. After all that, we preserve the memory forever by having our picture made with Santa and everyone gets a keychain picture. Then it's off to have breakfast! We love it!
ebony0421 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 There is nothing like bf. I wait for this all year, even though last year I may have had complaints. The rush you get just thinking about being able to get your item, the people you meet and talk to in line and the people you watch pulling a 32" tv through the mall on a baby stroller are like no other. I am so ready.
wildtama Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 What a great idea, to get a pic with Santa :) I love it! I like the fact that I am up before dawn, shopping done, and home by lunchtime :)
kas3 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I love to shop BF. My entire family doesn't undestand why I get up at the crack of dawn, fight crowds, stand in line for hours, just to get great deals. I am a single mom to 3 kids, and can get my kids more gifts if I shop BF. A couple of years ago I was the first person in line at Toys R Us. The news crew came and interviewed me, it was really cool! They asked why I thought people did this every year, and I told them the same thing - I can give my kids a better Christmas.
kas3 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I like to go for both, the deals and the ppl watching experience. I always get a big kick out of some ppl who do take it seriously!I know just what you mean! I can't stand the people who are so intent on getting the deal that they push and shove and start fights over items. I look for the deals I want, but if they are gone, oh well. Disappointing, but not worth killing someone for!
niclar Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I go for so many reasons. Obviously the deals are great and I have a little one so I have to take advantage of the deals for "Santa"...and also it is the thrill of the hunt, I love the rush i get from getting the fliers together on thanksgiving day and getting a plan of which store to attack first and getting a good place in line to the moment where I pick up what i was looking for and place it in my cart. Its this great feeling of accomplishment. Its hard to explain. Im also a helper I dont push and fight and will pass toys down the row to others if need be. Its lots of fun and i get all my shopping done in one day. I love this time of year
likehome Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I know just what you mean! I can't stand the people who are so intent on getting the deal that they push and shove and start fights over items. I look for the deals I want, but if they are gone, oh well. Disappointing, but not worth killing someone for!That's when you try to remind people what the season is all about . I also enjoy the thrill of the hunt but the people watching is really the best part.
rosegarden Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 We have run into some great people on BF. Usually they are very jolly and have some great "war stories" themselves!
