katkat777 Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Oh yess!! Sometimes I have to stop myself before I go overboard...especially with wrapping paper. I have a slight obsession with wrapping paper. I probably do not have to buy any for the next few years. 2
mgreen Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I usually keep a list during the year of things I would like to have, but don't necessarily need. Then I whip it out and look for deals during black Friday.
love2behappy Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Although black friday shopping for me consist mainly of purchasing gifts for others, I normally do purchase something for myself.
bribri25 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I usually buy for us; the big thing we need for the year. I can't justify putting things on my xmas list for family to buy for me when I know I can get it myself for 50% of the cost by going on BF. And my family isn't as into it as I am.
2chia Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Oh yess!! Sometimes I have to stop myself before I go overboard...especially with wrapping paper. I have a slight obsession with wrapping paper. I probably do not have to buy any for the next few years. I thought I was the only one with obession with wrapping paper !! I would cut them off in little square and tape to a 8x11 copier paper then take it to Michael's to match to ribbons that I would buy . I have had rolls dated back to 2000 and my family has told me I CAN'T buy any more unless I use them up.
Ladywolf Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 When I first started shopping on Black Friday I didn't purchase for myself, but I love watching movies and the DVD's are priced so low that I can't resist picking up a few (okay, okay a bunch! haha) for myself.
kuhlkel Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Of I do... Then I wrap it up from Santa to me and under the tree it goes 1
tjredsox4 Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I normally don't buy for myself on Black Friday but this year, I am almost done shopping and have the extra money so if I find something I will buy it.
smurfgirl Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I usually find one or two things to buy for myself. But I wrap them up and say they are from santa or the pets.
wendytom Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 My DH hates to shop, lucky me. I buy all my Christmas and just tell him what he bought me. He's excited, I'm excited. All is good. 1
ediesbeads Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I am buying my Christmas present this year if it is on sale. I want the new Cricut. If left up to DH he would pay full price and probably shipping too... I will find the best deal, purchase it, let him wrap it and put it under the tree! Hee hee!
HanShotFirst Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I thought I was the only one with obession with wrapping paper !!

I have had rolls dated back to 2000 and my family has told me I CAN'T buy any more unless I use them up. Add another hoarder/obsessor of wrapping paper. I have a ton and I don't even have a large family. I only have to buy a handful of gifts every year but yet I continue to buy wrapping paper. Last year, I gathered up some unopened rolls I had "stuck back" for goodness knows what and donated it to my hometown fire department for them to use during their Toys for Tots drive. 1
HanShotFirst Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Yes, I absolutely buy for myself on BF. I consider what I buy my birthday gifts to myself. I love the cheap DVD's and the throw blankets. There's always several things at Walmart and Target that I want for the house as well. This year I'll be on the lookout for sheets and pillows at Target, cheap DVD's from Amazon or Walmart, and perhaps a new crock-pot.
starbeck96 Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 I do buy myself things on occasion, but it is usually the smaller stuff. Most of our BF shopping is for our kids and I usually have a limited budget.
Nate Dogg Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Oddly enough Santa always brings me the exact things we buy for "far away" relatives.
Bobbi0125 Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Yes I do. Most of what I buy is for me or the household. A lot of times I get to feeling guilty and start putting stuff back. Then my BFF picks it up behind me and gets it for me or gives it to me and says that it was something I really wanted. Also with DVD's I will buy one or two that I want and give them to my kids to give to me. Then we are good.
mastert1966 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Lol, I think the better question is who doesn't. I always buy myself at least one thing on Black Friday!
mudd274 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I dont know who the other Debbie is at my house but theres always presents under the tree tagged....to: Debbie From: Debbie and she seems to know just what I want !!!! lolI never have to exchange anything she gets me..... 1
pogiporkchop Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 DH has gotten into the whole BF thing though he leaves me to do the actual shopping. He merely provides me a list.
myboysnme Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Generally I only buy gifts for others, but I may go to Michaels this year for some deals, although I forget exactly what it is I hoped to get.
jtitus2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 The only thing that I buy myself on Black Friday is a Starbucks coffee lol. I am a huge gift giver so I always find something to get the kids, my nephew, my husband, or my parents that isn't on my list for Black Friday. Last year I did buy one of those wax candle sets for the house but other than that I don't spend any on myself. This year, depending on sales and money, I might buy me the new iPhone 6 since I need a new phone. I usually can't see me spending money on myself during the holiday season. I feel selfish so I just put it back lol.
tanner08 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 I am looking for a good deal on a Fitbit, so if i see one this year, I will buy it for myself. I have 3 boys all 5 years apart, so anything I manage to save goes towards their gifts.
msomnipotent Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 I buy things for the house that my husband considers gifts for me. I have no idea why a coffee maker or a vacuum would be just for me when he uses them too. This year I am looking for a waffle maker and a set of dishes.
Jen08 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) You best believe I do! There's to many good deals not to buy for myself!! Lol! Edited November 4, 2014 by Jen08
AndreaInNC Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Heck yeah!!! This year I'm replacing my 32" TV
