angelbabymommy Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Mines was 13 years ago in 2002. My oldest daughter was just born in July and my mom told me how I could get things we needed for great prices on this day. Needless to say, I've been at it every since. 1
mcwalker Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 My first was in 2006 in suburban Chicago, shortly after I discovered GottaDeal.com.
Jen08 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Mine was in 2001 I believe. I went 1 time before then when I was 18 and really didn't understand the grasp of BF. Me and my husband (boyfriend at the time) went to get him some tires for his truck at Sears and we were just in shock at all the people shopping. We left and said we weren't ever gonna be one of those people. Well now I am "those" people and I absolutely LOVE it!!!!!!
HappyHolidays Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Wow! Probably 1993! I remember my mom and I stopping at stores before work to get coupons for first customers and special giveaways!
lakee05 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 My first was 2006. I can't remember why we started but it was probably because we had a little extra money at the time. But it was the adrenaline rush that got me hooked and it was fun. When they said go for it- it was on!
lakee05 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Wow! Probably 1993! I remember my mom and I stopping at stores before work to get coupons for first customers and special giveaways!Stores really don't do coupons anymore like they used to. I remember some years ago at my local Goody's store they gave us $10 off $10 or more coupons to use on already Black Friday prices. My aunt ended up getting her grandsons coats for free.
totallyBF Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 12 years ago Best Buy in st Petersburg Florida was 12yr old been addicted ever since had money from working at my dads restaurant and tagged along with my cousins bought a nintendo ds been at it ever since
stevierocks Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 wow had to think.. its been a lonnnngg time.im thinking 1994 or 1995. and yeah at that time it was not like it is now. personally ii give credit to gottadeal for letting the secret out... seems the creation of the site is about the time bf became as popular as it is. when i was a teen few people even know what it was . i first saw gottadeal site was 2005..
magickallight Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Not sure it was called Black Friday back then - but I can remember going to ToysRus with my girls when they were little - 30+ years ago and trying to hide things in the cart and wait in line for 2+ hours! Can't say I miss that, though!
Kanyon71 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I have been at it a long time. Been going with my grandmother since the 80's I think it is.
DeanH Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Mid-1980's, around '86. 1st wife's family introduced me to the "wonders" of BF.
tinkrbel Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Early 90's while our son was a toddler. We would get in line at KBToys around 4 am for a 5 am opening. Each year we would have to get in line earlier, lol. I'm with you, i remember getting batman toys at kb toys for cousins so I'm thinking 92/93 based on all our ages. WOW, how time flies and things change
caycemd Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 My first Black Friday was November 29, 1974! I was born on Black Friday so it's in my blood. I go every year.
nini Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Early 2000s for me, I think my first time waiting in line was 2002.
barbd02 Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 My very first experience was going with mom and a friend when I was young (early 80s maybe). She hated it, I hated it.She tried a few times as I got older and she hated it every time. 95 and 96 I tried again, too inexperienced and ended up frazzled, but I got a thirst for it! 1999 I finally got a game plan and I've been hooked every since. Twice I haven't went: child very ill and on vacation. Other than that, I've been every year since.
