I've been doing BF since 2000 when my daughter was born. This year is the first year I have to go at it alone. I don't know getting up at 3 am and standing in the cold doesn't seem as exciting as it does when you have some other idiot waiting with you...LOL... Anyone else ever go shopping solo with some words of encouragement?? I'm thinking about staying home!!

I've been going alone for about 8 or 9 years now. My husband stays at home with the kids while I shop. My MIL, who needs a wheelchair out in public, doesn't go out BF and no other family around. No co-workers or friends go out on BF either. At times I wished I had a co-hort to help with the deals, but most times I do fine on my own. I don't have to wait around for anyone else and can make up a new game plan on the spur of the moment if needed.

I go shopping alone most every black friday, unless I am visiting family. I have taken friends with me before, but they are usually not into it as much as I am so I would just hear complaining about wanting to go home or some other stuff. That is why I choose to go it alone. It works best for me.

My daughter and mom have gone with me the last three years, but mom is not in the states and DD may have to work. So I will go solo too. I need the deals. Don't worry there will others out there and you can make a new friend in line

You are lucky I can't wait till my girls get big enough for me to introduce them to BF..LOL. Right now they are 6 and 4...LOL.. My Mom lives kinda far to come with me but she says this year she is heading out to see what the bid deal is all about!! But I bet once those ads come out I'll be singing another tune..:D

For the last few years I have gone alone.

 

The earliest I have gone out is 4AM. I talk to friends and family on the phone, and I always meet nice people to chat with in line. I wear a jacket with inside pockets and I don't carry a purse.

 

I have a little alarm thingie on my keyring that I take off and hold in my hand just in case.

 

I like going out alone, because my time is mine, and I don't have to worry about others not wanting to go to certain stores etc. I like to get in and out. I like to know what I am going in for so I limit my time in the store.

I always go with a friend but last year she ticked me off some of her other friends came and waited in the car to stay warm while I froze my butt off and she decided to join them and left me there alone and to top it off it was the coldest day of the year and when they were warm they came right back in line I already told her this year I was going alone :yup: :yup: :yup:

I've been going alone since the year after the Fruby frenzy. Got my folks to go with me that year and my mom got hit in the head with a bicycle! That was the end of it for them. Hubby refuses to go. He drove me one year and waited in the truck for me. He said "never again". So, I go it alone. My best friend goes shopping on BF and we keep in touch by cell phone. I pick up stuff for her at one store and she gets my stuff at another store.

Doh! How dare they spoil your BF like that!

 

I never go alone, my husband is always with me or some other family member.
