Time for a quick poll: online, in-store or both?

[mcwalker]

It's time for a quick poll: do you expect to shop only on-line, only in-store, or a mix?

 

I will be buying most anything I can online so I don't have to transport it on my three day drive back to home, but I will be going to stores, too.

Online only. Long as you don't need any major in-store only doorbuster electronics, why leave the comfort of your own couch? Plus most online doorbusters start earlier.

[Bopeep]

I will get most of my "really wants" online, if I can.  But we always go out, and when we do I always find more to buy.

As we know, this wasn't the case until online stock reliability improved and cancellations became a distant bad memory.

I knock off a few stops on the 2-day shopping trip and do them online.

[len_mullen]

I voted mostly online, but while most of my shopping and purchases will be online, most of my money will be spent in stores as new smart phones will be purchased locally.

Both. I get a decent amount of stuff online...but would BF really be BF without venturing out into the craziness?

Hope to do mostly online but that’s dependent on Walmart “doorbusters”. It wouldn’t be Black Friday weekend without post-turkey lunch shopping there though

[Brad]

100% online. I may go to a few stores later on Friday when things calm down on the site just to get out of the house, but I don't plan on buying anything while I'm out.

Both. My cat litter from PetSmart would be a pretty big burden on my poor delivery guys in the quantities I typically buy. lol (Plus Meijer may have the better deal and I can't really shop online with them.)

I do a mix because sometimes I can't get everything I need online.

Mostly in store, some online.  I look forward to my time out with my older kids. 

[arf110106]

Online only as I don't have anyone to shop with AND in the past I have been very successful doing it this way. I'm excited as this will be my 1st black friday since 2013! 

[jgm8]

Both... I will start with online and head out a little later for the “just in case” gifts

[chester5]

Mostly online....but it's not Black Friday without my in-store visit to MENARDS on Black Friday.  Worth it!

[Love4Fashion]

I will do both. I will shop online to get some must have gifts and venture out to get gifts checked off my list. It wouldn’t be Black Friday if I didn’t get out into the craziness! Plus my Black Friday wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Menards (love that place)!

[HappyHolidays]

Definitely both. I will try to order online anything I can before heading out to the stores. Seems like they are offering a decent selection of items on line these days.

We will split it pretty well. Some of the things we want that are online doorbusters will have to be online as we don't go out on Thanksgiving.

[Elmck]

Both for me probably

[ytmomof4]

In store have never tried online I'm afraid I won't get what I want

Definitely both. Some of the things I need are from stores that we don’t have locally so I order those online. Also I don’t go out Thursday so if I think an item I want will sell out I will order that online too (usually with in store pick up if it’s an option since I will be out on Friday anyway). I go out early Friday to be out with the crowds and to pick up anything left on my list.

Both. I'll be shopping Kohls when it goes live for the bulky items, towels, pillows, etc. I don't want to be lugging that around and having it take up space in the car.

Mostly online and maybe some in stores

[cllehto]

Mostly online...unless something I really want is in stores only.

[tbarry1974]

I do both now.

Both. I'll be 1000 miles from home this year so I have to get all my bigger items online. I'll pick up a few smaller items in store though. It wouldn't be Black Friday if I wasn't out in all the craziness!!!

Well, the results of this poll so far support the widely reported decline of brick and mortar retail.  https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/04/retail-meltdown-of-2017/522384/

 

Only one person reported in the thread (not the poll) that they don't plan to shop online on Black Friday, and the mostly online and about 50/50 far exceed the mostly in stores crowd now (especially among our online savvy crowd here at GottaDeal).
