elena_398 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stationchief Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phrogxix Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmward725 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 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..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramel Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Since I was 15 so about ten years! With my mom of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmmiller Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFShopper6226 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrowpolisher Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
