Black Friday Plans

[Kanyon71]

Anyone working on their BF plans yet?

 

Not sure if we will go out much this year, we are having family in town for the week and we have decided this year we want to get our daughter experiences instead of a bunch of gifts that she really won't touch. Going to try and get her tickets to a play (maybe NY and make a trip of it), concert tickets, trip to a huge indoor water park, try to come up with some other things. Then also get her some clothes and maybe some new shoes, makeup or something (miss the days of getting her toys which she sometimes asks for and doesn't play with, I sort of think she asks so that we can enjoy getting them).

I won't be going out and doing much shopping this year as my kids are grown... I still have my grandson, who just turned 6, but I start shopping early for him... I will probably still try and make an early morning BF run to Lowe's and Home Depot for the coveted poinsettias and batteries... haven't really worked on an official plan as of yet...

Most of my shopping is done online, but I still make it a point to go out on BF even if I don't buy anything :).  We haven't started game planning yet, it'll all depend on what the retailers decide to change up this year, LOL.

Since a couple of the store I normally shop on BF have closed we are rethinking out shopping plans this year. We are about 30% done shopping now and I keeping my eyes opened for deals. I don't think we will be out shopping as long as we did last year. The goal is to be completely done shopping by Dec 1st except for food related items.

I always go BF shopping with my sister (we have been going for almost 25 years now) and we'll probably do that again this year. I don't foresee needing anything big this year and even if I do, the last few years we have been able to order online before BF anyway. I guess time will tell.

Most of my shopping will be online. I will go to a couple of stores usually to look around.

Most of my shopping is done online for everyone not here on Christmas day. Saves on shipping. Still go out for a little shopping therapy for myself. Wouldn't be Black Friday without  going out for a bit.

Not sure yet, depends on where I am and what my kid wants. He's growing out of toys and things

I had more fun when the ads were in the paper every week leading up to Christmas.

Since we moved last year I don’t really have a lot of stores near me so most shopping will be online.

Online shopping here unless my 15yo wants to venture out.  Thinking about taking everyone out Sunday before and not cooking.....

Probably not going unless it's nice weather and we'll hit the zoo/gift shops BF sale! I'm trying to be done by mid November, everything just keeps going up instead of down!

I think for me the only thing I’m hoping to score well in is the Grim Oak Press Black Friday sale. I missed out on the BF version of McCaffrey’s Dragonflight last year, but I would still like to start collecting with Dragonquest if they offer any seconds of it.

 

Otherwise, I’ll see if anything advertised catches my eye. With my son grown and not with anyone yet, I’m not really going excessive with gifts anymore.
