What's the longest amount of time you've ever spent shopping on BF?

[MarkRaby]

I've read that some people here are planning on just hitting one store (i.e. pricematching all other stores, or they only care for one store). But with me, it's like a marathon thing. I've got to hit as many stores as I can, so I've gone from 5 AM to 2 PM before, and I know some people have me beat. For the poll, do include any time that you spend waiting for the store to open.

I usually do about 3-4 hrs...but this year it's an alll day thing!

[bayhaysay]

Including driving time, we were out about 14 hours last year.

[sperdue]

One of my shopping buddies was sick last year, so we only did about 6 hours. I plan to make it an all day event this year! :)

[ebony0421]

I picked 6-9 but I did not think about the driving time or time that is spent waiting for the store to open. It is easily about 12 hours or more. :bounce_fl

I start around 3-4am and go until 10am. I HAVE to hit McD's for breakfast before I go home.

[ShawnainKY02]

You all are to be reveered. I can't go longer that a few hours. Then I am ready for some McD breakfast and to go home and back to bed.

[peachysquirt21]

I start out usually at 4am & most times dont get home till after 12 or 1. There have been a few times when I was home before 11am. Depends on how many bargains at different stores there are I wanna get.

Last year was the most time we ever went shopping for. We left in the middle of the night and stood in line for a few hours. After we finally got in to that store, we did our shopping there and then stood in line for another hour to check out. We hit about 5 more stores after that. We did at least take an hour in the middle of that for an early lunch and to rest our feet. We had a great time with it and made sure that we were extra nice to the people that were working! By the time we came home from shopping, we were all BEAT!!! I have to be honest, if I were to get the same kind of sales I got last year, I'd do it all over again!

[vision25]

I start out about 4am and go until about 1pm. It's FUN!

[kailatilear]

Last year I went out and 4 am and got home about 10 pm. Was exhausted but it was so much fun

Same here. :)

[shopping mom]

Last year I left the house at 3 and was price matching in Wal-mart by 3:30, out of there by 6:15 and on to the rest of the sales. I wait for all the ads before a definite plan is made. I just love to shop!!

[DaleRider]

We tend to not stay in the stores over a couple of hours......my wife and I will camp out the two stores we want to buy from first. Usually we're at the very front of the line......last year she was 5th in line at BB, I was 1st at CompUSA. So both of us were out in less than 20 minutes after the doors opened....we got our items and went right out to pay.

 

Hit Sears as our last store.....that took a little longer, but we were on our way home before 11AM. We did start our camp-out at midnight, though.

Last year I spent about 14 hours. I was exhausted, but it was worth it.

Clearly you need to refuel with some Thanksgiving leftovers!

 

I go to an electronics door-buster sale, like Best Buy or Circuit City, then I go directly to Target. The lines in Best Buy are usually ridiculous so it takes a good chunk of the morning. I go home and have lunch/early dinner then hit up the mall. (Woodfield in Schaumburg, IL).

[mlmatlock]

Last year my mom and I left the house at 3 am and we shopped all day excluding the times we drove home to unload and and to have some lunch.

[ajburlingame]

More than 12 hours......every year. We start at around 4:30 - 5:00 at the latest. We normally get home between 6:00 - midnight. One year we got home at a little after midnight, it was one of the first few years that we went. My husband was worried to death about us. He couldn't believe that we could still be out shopping. Now if we get home before 8:00, he wants to know if we are sick or if something is wrong. The year that we didn't get home until after midnight, my feet hurt so bad the next day that I could hardly walk. All this for the love of bargains :)

[SuperMommy]

I usually leave my house around 4 or 4:30 am and don't get back until like 6:30 So actual time out is over 12 but actual time shopping is usually 5am to like 5 or 6 pm.

[Rebirth]

About 5 hours in 2003. Last year was shorter.

[best4less]

The first year I went I was only out for a few hours but last year I was out almost the entire day! We'll see what happens this year.
