able Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 im home by about 11 then back out with different people till 5ish
AndreaInNC Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 last year our outlet mall opened at midnight on BF - so I hit there first. Banana Republic had 40% off the entire store - including clearnace. I think I left my house around 1am and returned around 10am. But I came home with my Christmas shopping completed!
kfinto65 Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 Leave at 3:30 AM and back home by 10:00 AM. Might leave earlier this year depending on the deals.
reportermomof3 Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 I go out around 2 or 3 a.m. and am usually back by 9 or 10 a.m. since my husband, who stays home with the kids on BF, has to get to work. This year I may come back a little later since my oldest child is now old enough to babysit.
Talama Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Well I never camp out, I get up at about 5 am and am home usually by 11 am. I get there just as or right after the store opens, I usually find everything I want -1 or 2 items. It helps that I never go after high tech stuff :) I really just go out for the excitement, so I don't need to camp out. I did that one year with my SIL, she was pushed and tripped getting into Walmart and me, the rookie, had to use my shopping cart to barricade her away from the stampede, LOL. But it was fun. Lots of interesting things happen in those lines, people get VERY testy when they haven't had their beauty sleep - including me, who speaks very little Spanish but somehow found enough to translate in rather colorful language the discontent of the early birds to a woman trying to cut the line pretending to speak no English. But probably my scary expression made her listen more than my Spanish. So another reason I don't camp out!
ebony0421 Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 After camping out all night, we usually don't get home until 3-4p.m.
gingersunshine Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 leave the house around 2 am and return whenever the money runs out. usually around 3-4 pm.
kdaven Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 I usually leave about 3/4 am and then come back home between 10/12am. My husband and kids are starving and start cooking then I'll go back out later to hang and pick up anything that "might" be left and I've rethought about.
Vickis3js Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Depends last year we left out house at 2am the year before we didn't leave till 5. The deals determine how soon or late we leave. We get back Sunday afternoon! LOL DH and I leave the kids with my parents after diner, we take a nap and then hit the stores around us. Then we pack the truck and head to Rehoboth Beach , DE and hit those outlets, then we stay in Ocean City, MD for their shoppers fest till Sunday. Its our favorite weekend of the year!!
jellybean051901 Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Usually we are in line between 2 and 3am and come back between12 and 1pm
Jamy36823 Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 I usually leave here about 6 am and Im usually back by 9 or 10. BF isnt really HUGE around here.. If you get to the store around 5 theres usually only 1 or 2 people waiting. No one that camps outside all night!
Gator Pam Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 In the past, I've only done Wal-Mart as that's the only store close to FIL's. This year I may just try online shopping, it depends on if there are items I feel I have to have in my hand on BF, or if I can take the chance on missing out on the item ith my slow connection. So, I usually leave FIL's for Wal-Mart at 4:00 AM, and generally am back by 9:00 AM.
sherril Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 I normally wake up and am out the door no later than 4:30am We go to Walmart and Toys R Us then to breakfast and home so I am normally home by 9 or 10 am. It probably will be earlier this year since Walmart isnt doing their layaways any longer. I went yesterday and did dd's shopping. I will only have to get her a large gift and them I will be done.
starshine Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Last year I was out by 1:30 and back about 11 or so. Most of that is travel time since I live in the sticks!
jskarp Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 We head out about 4 a.m. depending on where we are going first.....and are home sometime around 2 or 3 p.m. Sometimes we do lunch......if we aren't too tired :)
JazzMama Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 It honestly depends on the ads. I am, almost always, out at the stores by no later than 4:15. Last year, I think I was home by 10:00.
Aaron Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 leave the house around 2 am and return whenever the money runs out. usually around 3-4 pm.wow, you're out for a long time!
NeepNeep Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 We usually get home between noon - 2pm. When we leave depends on where we are going first.
moemoe Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 My Mother and my three sisters and I all start at WalMart at 5:00am and then Mom goes home to watch the grandkids, the 4 girls shop some more, and then meet up with our Dad for lunch, shop some more and get to our respective homes usually between 8:30pm-9:00pm at which point we all go right to bed. We have been doing this for 40+ years and we love it!!!
trinasmom Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 We leave at 4 a.m. make a 2 hour drive in about and hour and 15 minutes. We return anywhere from 7p.m.-10p.m. Just depends on how much room is left in the van. Of course last year we though we were going to have to bring a UHaul home. LOL
diecastbeatdown Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 last year compusa had a midnight madness sale on the eve of BF. so i got there at about 5pm thanksgiving night, was third in line. after i got my goods went right to the next store at about 1am and just waited in line until it opened at 7am. went to a couple more stores and ended up at home around 11am. i had a ton of loot and it was a lot of fun.
Guest mldepalma Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I leave at 3:30am and I'm home by 11am (latest). I don't dawdle and only get what is on my shopping list. -don't want to waste time!
shaneslove Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Our alarm goes off at 3 we are out of the house by 3:30am and after a few cities ( we have to go to different towns to get all the deals, but its worth it )worth of shopping we get home around 3pm
nancy_7997 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 We've camped out on turkey day probably starting around 12pm(thanksgiving day) at that we were already 5th in line (the family before us were there supposedly there around 9am. And we don't get home until 1pm on BF.
hope1976 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 We're usually home by 10am, but we only had a small walmart last year, and that's the only store we went to. This year, we have a new super walmart & will probably be a little longer :)
magickallight Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I go home when the money runs out...
