Kash Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Having a new grandbaby born this year brings the excitement back to Black Friday for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&H Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 We celebrate on Saturday, after the shopping is done. No anxiety about getting the deals then. I am usually quite pleased with the deals I got the 2 days before thanks to my preparation with the help of GottaDeal! Now where are the ads!?! Need ads now....losing my mind.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packratfamily Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Looking forward to Black Friday but only vicariously. It seems like this is always a bad time for extra cash.DH needs some long sleeve pocket T shirts but there is nothing we must have. Our 60 year old Toastmaster toaster works perfectly. The Tv in the br is almost new and the old one in the living room is too heavy to move! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinkrbel Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I have a serious question to ask everyone. In the past few years, we've noticed that stores are opening earlier and earlier, most now on Thanksgiving evening instead of Friday morning, but my question is how likely are you going to take time away from your families to save what doesn't appear to be a decent amount of money anymore? I don't want a dragged out explanation, if possible, but I'm just curious if everyone is feeling like last year was a waste of time.Thankfully this isn't an issue anymore where we used to have Thanksgiving dinner is no longer acceptable so instead we have Thanksgiving lunch and were out last year in time for Macy's opening. If we still went elsewhere for dinner though I'd have to make do with my online shopping and whatever I could get afterwards. We even gained a shopper last year who was more than a little surprised when we didn't get back until around midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckerhouse Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I have several new people watching GD for the first time. I just hate that the ads are so disappointing this year. I have gotten a ton of items in the past from Walgreens. Looks like nothing worth walking in for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymacfla Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I feel like I already won this year, due to my 70 inch 4k deal from Sam's Club. Here's to all those in need of some luck this season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bribri25 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I'm guessing it's a simple SQL query with the COUNT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanyon71 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I'm guessing it's a simple SQL query with the COUNT.Was thinking so also, some forum software packages have some canned reports so went with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinkrbel Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I seem to come down with a cold every year after black Friday I think it's the stress and anxiety. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bribri25 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I seem to come down with a cold every year after black Friday I think it's the stress and anxiety. Same here. I think it's attributed to the lack of sleep, as well. Still totally worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I got sick this weekend too. Hope everyone feels better.On the other hand, I did get a lot done before that. I didn't do a lot of my normal stuff, like go to Walgreens, dollar general, etc, so that was kinda odd. But I'm pleased on what I was able to get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanyon71 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 My wife has a cold, woke up yesterday morning not feeling well. I was telling a friend of mine earlier today that I wish I had taken today off so I could just chill out and recover from all the REALLY long days lately lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewleyp Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Mee Too! But mine was on Thanksgiving... I mustered enough energy to make it to PetSmart on Friday morning then DH wanted to go to Target. After that all done for the rest of the weekend. Luckily I had done most of my shopping early TDay morning ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
