How many years have you been shopping on BF?

[elena_398]

I've been doing Black Friday by myself (yes in all those years no one would go out with me) since my son was born. So almost 12 years now

[Melissa]

This will be my second year!

[stationchief]

Been watching and hearing about it ever since I knew wife's family, who takes part in the aftermath shopping every year. They've hardly ever braved the line waiting and the initial onset of the madness. However, this marks my third year of BF shopping and my second year of BF lines. Think the men of the family are gonna join me this time.

as long as i remember

[sigrist_2000]

[lauralee]

As long as I can recall Black Friday sales. I have just developed more refined strategies through the years!!!!

[Novac]

3 years, not counting BF06

[reportermomof3]

I've been going for at least 10 years, maybe more. Kinda lost track.

[BabyFu18]

I think I've been BF shopping for about 6 years now, going every year.

[SuperMommy]

This will be my 4th year.

[ccarson1972]

I would have to say at least 10 years.

[blakes_mommy]

16 years i think!

[heavenlysshine]

[mamapenguin]

This will be my 10th year. Some times my daughter's birthday falls on BF. Not this year though, but we'll still enjoy shopping together.:)

[ms_mckenna]

As long as I can remember. Went with my mom before she died for a few years so I would say at least 15+ years.

[aznsniper911]

Haha, this is my second year, last year i got the sony dvd burner, still great, silent and kicking in.

[snakeswiff]

this is my 12th year! I cannot wait!

[mlmatlock]

This will be my 6th year.

[CrayZMama80]

I was going to say only 10 yrs for me..but then I started thinking, heck I did this before we bought this house. So it's been over 14 yrs. Oh man, we need to start a bf anonymous group here!

[carheel]

this will be my 4th year. i even got everything i went for.:)

[phrogxix]

As long as I can remember...

 

Back when they used to give outright free stuff at the door. Like tins of cookies, etc.

 

Toys R Us one year handed out free cini-mini coupons for Burger King. Mmmm.

[firtbird]

At least 14 - 15 years.......but who's counting.

[casbug10]

It's been 6yrs for me.

[lar0713]

OMG!!! I can't remember what year I started doing this I do know I didn't have any children and my daughter just turned 18.

 

Can't wait for the ads this year to start my list even though I am almost done shopping for everyone except the 3 of us!!!

[rsan33]

This will be my 2nd year. I would consider myself a noobie.

[pmward725]

This will be my second year.... I braved SWalmart last year ALONE for my first BF experience. Lucky for me, I'm used to our WM being that packed, since it's the only in our county, so EVERYONE goes there.....

[caramel]

Since I was 15 so about ten years! With my mom of course.

[dmmiller]

4 years for me... I always worked retail the years before that, and hated BF. Now I'm on the other side, and LOVE It. :)

[BFShopper6226]

As a child, I used to go every year with my mom. Once I was an adult, I didn't go to often (school, friends, other such things). I started up again about 6 years ago.. Prior to that, I was on the other side of the counter (working retail). The first couple of years, I went out myself. Then in 2003, I finally talked my wife into going. She had never gone out. Now, it's a family affair. (me, wife and son). It works out real well. We stalk out the ads the day before and figure out what each person is going to get. We hit the store just like we are storming a beach, FRS radios in hand, each of us going in 3 directions and getting what we ordered. We meet in the front at the registers and then go to the next stop.

I think over 15 years, but can't really remember when I started. I know I went to the one in Louisianna 15 years ago, but it was prob. really before that
