abentley Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 I am a shopping junkie, I can admit that. I usually have a list for everything, well planned, but always have a little wiggle room. I love my DH will go shopping, not on BF until afternoon, but very involved. Welll yesterday, even thought we are close to being "done", he alwyas finds things that "if we buy one, we need to buy 2" for our lil boys( not twins but 11 months apart). 2 paint ball guns later, and more little things than I can count....my "lists" are very off!!
elena_398 Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 I couldn't get my husband to shop with me even if I paid him or bribed him. He hates malls/stores during the holidays. Most of the time he finds out what the kids are getting on christmas morning. Im the wrapper too.
bayhaysay Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 There is no way my dh would EVER go shopping with me on BF. He sees how crazy I get just making plans for BF. He's also too slow. :)
Bunniq Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 For several years I have been doing BF alone. However, a few years back when I shopped at Kmart, (I stopped due to customer service issues) I had DH go with me on Thanksgiving Day to pick up a TV they had on sale. He complained the whole while we waited in line, until he found some other guy to talk sports with, and then he was okay. Once in the store we got the TV and he was ready to go home. Off we went home, and back out I went. So yes shopping with my spouse throws me waaaay off. Every now and then he will ask if I need him to go with me. I say nooo I have it covered. LOL
love2beurwifey Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 my so wont go shopping with me at all. He is a shop and go kind of person and just wont take time in the store to find the best deal possible
EmConMom Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 My hubby laughs at me and my bf shopping preparations? He would totally throw me off, he is too slow and would deviate from the plan LOL. He does go with me to do our initial shopping trip for our kids. But after that it is all me.
conj Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 yes, he throws me off. It is like having one of the kids with me, only worse...
elena_398 Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 My husband swears he would be in a fight every year when I come home and tell them what I encountered or saw. LOL. Maybe its just as well he stays home. He doesn't have the patience to deal with the pushing and shoving.
misshayley Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 My DH is a great shopper and he enjoys it. There are times when I send him with the list and let him get the stuff, because I have other things to do. My mom says that I am a lucky one because of what a great shopper my DH is.
Kenzysmom Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 My husband goes with me every year on BF. We're a great team and he really looks forward to it as much as I do. This year he doesn't know if he can go with me and he's very disappointed!!!
missyjane Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 I usually go alone, but if there are some really awesome deals on big boy toys I might be able to talk him into going, probably not though. He doesn't have the patience to wait in line. Or the will power to get out of bed when it is still dark.
laffnatu Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 My hubby loves shopping on BF. He didn't get to go last year since he was overseas so he's more than ready to go now. He's as excited as I am. lol.
dmmiller Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Well, this is the 1st year i'm taking my DH with me. I usually go alone, however I took my Mother w/me last year, and that went over like a ton of bricks. I'm hoping my DH is a lot better spirited about the whole thing. I broke him in a little the other week when TRU had they're Wii's on presale. If this doesnt work.. i'm back to flying solo.
jennypoo3016 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 This is the only day of the yr i dont have to bug him to go with me so i like him coming he carries most of the bags too hehe:)
sevirj Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Because of our working schedules, my wife & I usually shop separately. Occasionally we might meet at the mall to agree on something that one of us has found, but that's about it. She has never gone out with me on BF, but the other day, she told me that she wants to go this year. We'll see if I can get her up early enough
Kygal2003 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 If my DH doesn't have to work that day he does go with me shopping. He enjoys it as much as I do!
Turtle Mommy Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Dh does do some BF shopping for me but it is stores he can quick run in and out off.(ie lowes and radio shak) We usually do some shopping together after that and get some things for the boys.
elena_398 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I actually enjoy going with out my husband. I can be by myself, no rushing, no hearing whining from him (haha), and I can do one of my favorite things...SHOP. lol
Melissa Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Yes, it throws me off. I can't think straight when he's with me, and he doesn't want to take the time to find the best price -- he'll just pay whatever they're asking in the first store he comes to. He also tends to pick out impractical things, then gets insulted when I shoot down his ideas.
sammy50 Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 My husband would rather take a bullet to the head than have to go shopping any time! That's fine by me because I can get it all done faster by myself.
smurf94409 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 My husband would rather take a bullet to the head than have to go shopping any time! That's fine by me because I can get it all done faster by myself. This is so my husband. I agree it's much easier to go shopping without them. Never even thought to ask my husband to go on BF, then we'd have to find a babysitter.
shanni Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 My husband is my soilder on BF, we form a plan of attack, seperate in the store and communicate through our cell phones! We are like a fine tuned shopping machine:D
amyers12345 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 ironically, mine is so slow, that it took us 2 hours at walmart to get laundry detergent, dish detergent, fabric softener, and trash bags friday. But he loves to go. He knows that BF is my day, and probably feels a little bit of guilt for deer hunting the two weeks preceding. He listens to directions well and is so thin, tall, and wiry he can reach everything!
oldandintheway Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 My DH loves to shop. I would probably have a fight on my hands if I tried to leave him at home on BF.
raydees Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 I couldn't get my husband to shop with me even if I paid him or bribed him. He hates malls/stores during the holidays. Most of the time he finds out what the kids are getting on christmas morning. Im the wrapper too.Mine too.
motoXmom Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Yes, it throws me off. I can't think straight when he's with me, and he doesn't want to take the time to find the best price -- he'll just pay whatever they're asking in the first store he comes to. He also tends to pick out impractical things, then gets insulted when I shoot down his ideas. Oh I see your my husbands other woman!!! ROFL Just kidding Sounds alot like my DH though I do have to say. I know I've posted about my DH and shopping before but he's the type to hold the door for everyone else (but me!), normally he doesn't look where he's going. For example he'll pick something off the shelves and start walking down the isle towards me, all the while looking back at where he just picked the item from. So he's looking backward and walking forward. YEP running into people all the time (like a toddler might from not paying attention!). I could also see him standing at a pallet of BF items and instead of getting them in our cart he'd help to pass them out, probably till they were all gone. lol Then looking at me and saying "Oops, sorry Hon". He' such a Great guy and lord knows I wouldn't trade him in for anything BUT... he won't be going with me on BF!!
Gporter34 Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 While my husband doesn't go shopping with me on BF, we always pick a day when we go shopping together and just enjoy all of the holiday decorations, a nice dinner together, and pick up a few more items from our list. I love doing this every year and look almost as forward to it as BF. Even though he can't last as long as I can when it comes to shopping.LOL
believet Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 I do most of the Christmas shopping and my husband wraps the presents. He is better at wrapping than I am.
peachysquirt21 Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 My hubby loves shopping with me & doesnt mind going on BF. :)
babygirl2310 Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 My spouse doesn't mind going shopping with me.
