Bopeep Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 1. Approximately 20 years2. I will probably spend about the same on BF this year.3. Yes. The earlier I can snag the deal, the less anxious I have to be about snagging the deal!4. There will be at least 3 of us. 4 if my oldest sister decides to join.5. If I could change one thing it would be availability of the better deals. 3 (fill in the blank)'s and 200 people wanting 1, is never good. I get that they can't stock enough for everyone to get the deal, but they could have more per store than 2 or 3. Time for another t-shirt contest!

bluebear Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) 1. About 16 years2. The same or less. Most of the big items will be bought before black Friday this year.3. Yes. Most of the shopping will be done online.4. Hopefully just by myself. I usually go with mom and sister, but hope to get out of it this year.5. It would be awesome if some one could go up the line and scan all your items. Then at the register you just have to pay. My Michael's does this every weekend anyway.

1angelnhvn Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 1. I have been Black Friday shopping for 35 years!2. I plan to spend more this year because my kids are older and ask for higher ticket items.3. I do plan to shop online this Black Friday but still always find something that I can only get in stores that I have to go out for. But I do as much as possible online ahead of time in case I can't get it when I get to the store!4. I plan to shop with three people besides myself. (me, my mom, and two daughters)5. I think one thing that could be changed is better crowd control before stores open. I hate it when one person waits in line and then just as the doors open 20 friends join them in line.

julz0420 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I cant copy and paste or quote at all this year 1. 9 I think? 2. I have no idea yet. I'm guessing around the same 3. I always do! 4. My mom for sure. Maybe my sister also. 5. Making it easier to figure out where they are putting all their stuff! Even with maps, sometimes they are wrong. I've spent time in a line before to find out it wasn't what it was supposed to be. (and last year my mom started off in a line for a TV to find out it was the line for the people that had already gotten the ticket so she had to move to another line!)

rockpzazz Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 1. Approximately how many years have you been shopping on Black Friday? My first one was 2002.2. Do you plan to spend more, less or the same amount of money during Black Friday week this year? I plan to spend more since I couldn't participate last year. 3. Do you plan on shopping online during Black Friday week this year? Yes, hopefully a few more sites add free shipping. 4. How many people do you plan on shopping with on Black Friday this year? At most I would say 5, at the least 2. 5. If you could make stores change one thing about Black Friday besides opening times, what would it be? Good question, I think all stores should have maps and make sure they are correct. It would make it easier to get items. I also think it would cut down on some of the chaos. Especially on smaller items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikefree Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 1. Approximately how many years have you been shopping on Black Friday? Every year for the last 17 years, but off and on, not every year before that. 2. Do you plan to spend more, less or the same amount of money during Black Friday week this year? Probably about the same, although I do have a little more disposable income this year so we'll see. 3. Do you plan on shopping online during Black Friday week this year? I do and am hoping to find some really good prices along with free shipping. 4. How many people do you plan on shopping with on Black Friday this year? Just my sister and me, as always. 5. If you could make stores change one thing about Black Friday besides opening times, what would it be? Better deals, more deals and better signage telling me where sale items are. Also, all stores should be like Menards and have LOTS of each item available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
