sleepyshopper Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Hi All, Just curious how many hours everyone spends shopping on BF.....From the time you leave the house until the time you come home.
sleepyshopper Posted October 22, 2006 Author Posted October 22, 2006 Way more then 12 hours for us....We all love this day!!
laffnatu Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 At least 6-7 hours. We are usually home and ready for a nap around noon. lol.
stationchief Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Are we counting line waiting outside the store and waitin' in lines to check out? If not, then last year my BF shopping took me about 20 minutes. Grabbed a laptop, a TV, a few other things, and wanted outta there. This year I'll probably spend a good few hours or more.
CrayZMama80 Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Not including standing in line all night..I'm normally done within a couple hours. Every year is different though. Last year I was home by 10 am and that was the latest I stayed out on a BF. Most times I'm done by 8:30 am.
Christy Garner Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Six to eight hours for me definitely including drive time and standing in lines.
mystikal1 Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Don't forget the 3 months we spend online waiting for the deals.
Gurnee Al Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Probably around 6 to 8 with a nap somewhere in the middle.
mccabefamily29 Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Not including the long line wait less than an hour probably, but the wait is at least 4 hours usually.
cassyoh Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 I leave the house by 5:15ish in the morning and am back around 10:30 at night. It's the one LONG shopping day my sister and I do together.
blakes_mommy Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Around 6ish if I can keep everybody going, usually they are done at that point.
zoemariesmamma Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 We are usually out for 12 hours plus. Including lunch though...shopping is what this day was made for right?
madison66 Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Maybe 4 - 5 hours of pure shopping time. Leave house at 4:30 - 5:00 am. Return home by 11 am.
elena_398 Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 2-4 hours. More towards 4 hours. Its just me so I get in and out quickly.
Cecilliadb Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I said 6-8 hrs...but not all together we will be coming home for lunch and so my son can have a nap then we will head back out if we still need more stuff.
tlm2121 Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 our group normally goes out for breakfast at denny's around 2 am and then go get in line where ever has the best deals - we shop til around noon and then go home and nap b4 putting up the tree and getting out the decorations. I can't imagine shopping for 12 hours - i love to shop and love getting great deals, but i do it for fun and if i am tired i wouldn't be having fun anymore
motoXmom Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 From the time I leave the house to the time I get back usually is at least about 12 hrs. I know once I stop that's it and I drop dead! ROFLMAO Last year I got home and my DH took one look at me and said "Wow Honey you look like H3LL". Oh yes I did! My eyes were totally bloodshot and just about dropped. I was so tired I couldn't even think straight, just glad I could make it home without getting into an accident. This year DH asked about shopping online while I'm at the stores. So I think I'll have a little help which is great. And hey if we happen to get doubles I'll return whatever to the store later so I'm not worried about that.
cotinkandy1 Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Hi All,Just curious how many hours everyone spends shopping on BF.....From the time you leave the house until the time you come home.I always shop with sleepyshopper and I peter out after about 10-12 hours, BUT SHE IS STILL GOING STRONG!!! GO GET EM GIRL:D
luv2shopnc Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 12 hours or more. Shop til you DROP....or run outta dough!
sleepyshopper Posted October 31, 2006 Author Posted October 31, 2006 I am making you keep up this year cotinkandy1.....And by the looks of things we are gonna have to start even earlier this year.....
Kalel Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 About 12 hours....i have to optimize my visit to USA.
diecastbeatdown Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 I'm in for 12+ hours and I'm actually surprised this is the minority. Last year I spent close to 30 hours.
Princess7915 Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 We are normally at a store about a half hour before opening. Last year for example, we were at Penny's at 4:30am. and we didn't call it a day until about 8pm that night. Though we did make a few trips home (we live in the middle of everything) to unload and recoup/snack for an hour or so. We all figure if you're going to get up and go out in the madness then you should do it right!!!
angel-too Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 We used to be out all day but most of the kids are older so my shopping patners have backed out. Now that my daughter is older I can usually be back by 10 a.m.
brownlands Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 The shopping takes me no time at all. It's the waiting that takes up most of my time. Usually around noon I'm ready to call it a day.
diecastbeatdown Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 The shopping takes me no time at all. It's the waiting that takes up most of my time. Usually around noon I'm ready to call it a day.ya i was thinking the same thing. it is funny how most of the time line waiting can be annoying, but we probably spend an entire years worth of line waiting in one day without any complaints. or at least that of a few disney trips.
