alimfp Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 I got a chair to sit outside of a store come Black Friday (or the night before rather). I got one like this but it's oversized and lays back a bit. Nice little pillow, cup holder and super comfortable. And I only paid $5 at the Salvation Army!
mrn8 Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 Hehe...good deal. We've got 4 of those with the Dick's Sporting Goods logo on the back. We paid $5 each for them and they come in handy all the time.
fairydustcrissy Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 I got 2 of them for my birthday :) I keep them in the back of the van all the time, and they will be very useful on BF :)
amdskip Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 Wimp, I stand for 1 hour + every year in front of Staples:)
bayhaysay Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 What do you do with the chair when the store opens?
Scott Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 What do you do with the chair when the store opens?I would say fold it up and put it over the sholder or in the cart. My wife and I have a loveseat like this and we love it. Basically two chairs side by side with a little table in between. We take it all sorts of places. Never thought about using one for BF. I think that the stools would be great for BF too. Good idea. http://www.everywherechair.com/tc-stl.html
Melissa Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 I just bought two quad chairs at CVS for $4.99 each.
Daisimae Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 A chair I have. Now I want a TENT! http://www.decathlontent.com/
bayhaysay Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 A chair I have. Now I want a TENT! http://www.decathlontent.com/LOL, my kids have one of those. It's great, you just undo the little strap and the tent pops up. We used it to hold our campsite (until dh could get the camper there) a couple of weeks ago. It's the only kind of tent I can put up.
able Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 wow that chair that was posted on here before is perfect ..its a back pack and a cooler and a chair.i thinknit was circut city.it was like 5 $
brynnfromtheblock Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 What do you do with the chair when the store opens?We take our chairs and about 15 minutes before the store opens one of us brings them to the car
alimfp Posted August 14, 2006 Author Posted August 14, 2006 What do you do with the chair when the store opens?Have DH run everything back to the vehicle and then come back to me as we enter the building. Or he can run it to the vehicle a few min. before opening.
ms_mckenna Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I never even thought about taking chairs. That is a really good idea though! We just bought new chairs at CVS. Had a really big ECB and DH was with me ... he has been eyeing those chairs since they put them out in the spring but neither of us wanted to pay full price lol.

We used it to hold our campsite (until dh could get the camper there) a couple of weeks ago. It's the only kind of tent I can put up. Are they easy to fold back up? Those look really neat may have to order them for the kids for going camping!
bayhaysay Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Knowing my luck I'd be the one to take the chairs back to the vehicle and then some b*tch would throw a fit and not want to let me back in line.
bayhaysay Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Are they easy to fold back up? Those look really neat may have to order them for the kids for going camping!Kinda, I mean we always get ours twisted back up but it usually takes a few tries. It's well worth it though to not have to go through the hassle of putting it up.

ms_mckenna Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Nevermind there is a store finder on the web page. Thinking I will have to buy offline though looks far away lol.
outnumbered Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 Knowing my luck I'd be the one to take the chairs back to the vehicle and then some b*tch would throw a fit and not want to let me back in line.That's exactly why I've never used a chair before...but this year I think I might actually get to go with a friend! She and I both want to go, and both our husbands are here, so we may be able to both go this year. If that's the case, we'll be able to bring stuff and have one of us go back and stash it in the car. :)
gisellerol Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 I took one last year and a blanket I was with a friend and we sat there nice and toasty:tongue1:
EliteABombAZ Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 I got my chair too... and I didn't even have to pay for it! I got it by quickly signing up on one of the freebie posts! It's pink and says "4imprint" but it's a sturdy chair!
brynnfromtheblock Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Usually the people in the front of the line are friendly... they're the hardcore BF'rs and understand how it works... we've never had a problem putting our chairs back.. especially if their's 2 of you and one person stays in line. Last year we were at BB at 10pm and there was a 24 hr convenience store right next door... everyone walked back and forth all night to use the restroom and buy coffee... it was fun!!
Lacey Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 My son and his friends camp out the night before at about 10:30 outside Best Buy. They have done this for the past 2 years. The first year they were first in line and they got some really fantastic deals on electronics!
ravi7791 Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 That is one sweet chair my friend I don't need to camp out. Since we go to New Jersey for thanksgiving, I go there on Friday and it's filled with people. You can barely walk.. But Friday night, we come home (cape cod, ma) and go to the stores on Saturday. There's like NO ONE here. Empty. Nada. Everything is full. So unless it's only a 6 hour deal, I don't have much to worry about
Guest fun_4_u_nme Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 maybe a tent might be a good idea ?
elena_398 Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Great deal! I always stand though. I go out by myself so I prefer not to have anything slow me down. Haha. Race in for a cart and head to the deals
ryleeblack Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 That looks nice. I would bring a chair, but I will probably be going by myself and I don't want to bring the chair into the store since I can't get out of line to put it back into the car.
