jaymacfla Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Like the post above, my birthday is usually the week of Black Friday. This year it will be two days before. I can't remember a time when I didn't get something for myself since I started lining up at CompUSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I shop Black Friday with my mom, so it's inevitable that she has me pick out a Christmas gift for myself. Other than that, sometimes I'l take advantage of the good deal on household items for myself & I almost always purchase a new movie or two.

Thumper501 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I usually pick up 1 or 2 items for the house. The rest is presents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catholicbride11 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 ALWAYS! It's pretty much the one time of year I don't feel guilty for buying more than a few things for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelamarc Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I have noticed that in the last couple of years, I have bought more for me and my house than for the boys. They are getting older and more into electronics/video games, which I usually find on Amazon or other stores online prior or after BF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyfanamo Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I do! I look for dvds/blu rays, linens, and kitchen oddities for myself!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpzazz Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Most of the stuff I would usually buy would be for myself. Granted I didn't spend 100's of dollars, but I did find a lot of stuff for myself. I would find stuff for other people as well. I think the one year I bought only for other people was the first year I bought online, and it worked out well enough that I buy for other people online, then if I go to the stores, I get stuff for me.

NovemberDiva Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Absolutely! My birthday is around this time so I definitely treat myself to some goodies! Usually by black friday, I'm pretty much done with the kids anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kboyts Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I sure do. Normally im a good percentage done with my shopping by blackfriday. So I brave the masses to score myself a few well deserved rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelB Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Absolutely! I usually buy something for myself that I don't think anyone else will. This gets wrapped and placed under the tree along with all of the other gifts. Funny thing is that I usually buy and wrap so many gifts I may forget what it is until I unwrap it!

milkspld Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'm often done shopping by BF, but I'll still get stuff online (mostly for me, haha). The websites have really made BF so much easier. And I'll go to a store or two just for the fun of it, for the thrill of the hunt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesusluvu Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 MOST DEFINITELY!!!! That is the only way to ensure I get what I want for the best price. Everyone else is just a bonus - LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hack2222 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Always buy for myself, and this way especially on series dvd bluray tv shows I get the current seasons I need and don't have to worry about someone giving me the wrong season. When you get shows like the Big Bang Theory for example is has season 7 out and is on season 8. The last thing I want is to get a duplicate season from someone who wants to get me something they think I may like. So that to me just makes it easier, to give them a list of item to get and this way the $10 I spend I know that I save up to $40 for myself later. Some things best to just purchase for myself and then if I don't get the other movies that were just released, there's always giftcards and exchanges. Some things I just find easier to buy myself, and I don't purchase anything that I don't need and try my best throughout each year to put money aside every year, so that when Black Friday rolls around I don't feel bad spending money on something that I was going to purchase anyways, I look at the money that I save every year buy patiently waiting for the sales to begin and make sure to make a list of what site has which season and at what price so I know I'm getting the best deal and enjoy being quick on the purchase.
