tdanette Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 I'm so excited- I get to initiate THREE people to BF! A friend of mine, my son's girlfriend and her best friend are all going to their first BF and I can't wait to see their faces lol. Anyone else taking first timer's?
berry1014 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Not this year but last year my MIL joined us for the first time and she is joinging us again. Over the years I have introduced BF to several people, my mom, sil, best friend, cousins. It's so much fun.
dmmiller Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 WEll.. I"m taking my DH. And I've been shopping with him on BF before.. but never during the Early bird.. LOL Its either gonna make him or break him! I hope make him, cuz I'd like someone to do this with.. kinda boring by yourself. But I still love it with or w/o someone.
EmConMom Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 I am breaking in my best friend for the first time. She used to think I'm crazy for getting so excited, but this year she is just as giddy. I cannot wait to see her face when we get there and everyone starts to get into line.
rollsauce Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 yeppers, the wifey will be going with this year...
able Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 i think that makes it fun! the BF i remember most are the ones i took a newbie!!
dmmiller Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 LOL you can remember your past BF's? They're just a blur to me.
johjstc Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 My fiance' is coming with me this year. He wants to see what the big hype is about.
Guest ladakn99 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 im probally getting three or four first timers and six or seven first time buyers at BF this year
MandaJo111 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 I will be. My best friend is flying in for Thanksgiving. She is bringing an extra suit case just to take presents back in :) We are heading up to SC to take advantage of the no taxes to :)
12days Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Wait wait Manda. What do you mean no taxes in SC?? i'M IN nc BUT JUST 30 MINS DRIVE FROM sc.
MandaJo111 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 \yep me too.. I am in Savannah, but we are driving up to SC for the no taxes on Friday and Saturday!! :) All things qualify except for hotel taxes -- even car taxes are free! :) Where are you at 12days?
MandaJo111 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 I just noticed you said NC. Yep no taxes at all!! :) I am heading to Hilton Head to the Tanger Outlets while I am there.
cleverbffool Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 My mother wants to go for the first time, but I dont want her to slow me down.
nickle831 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Yep I am taking 2 gals that I work with who've never done BF shopping before.
Melody80 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Well this is my first time as a serious shopper. Ive gone out in the past but this year im doing the reseach and making a game plan before I head out. In the years before I would just hit a couple stores with nothing major in mind. Now that I have a house full of kiddos I need as meany good deals as I can get! My husband is getting really excited. To him is gonna be like a sporting event! Hes can get competative so this should be interesting!
Bunniq Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 My sister has decided she and her family are coming home along with my mother and nephews. My sister wants to go with me on BF! I am hoping she won't slow me down. I am going to have her make a list of things she wants to get and tell her noooo window shopping or looking around for things not on the list. In, out, and off to the next store! I hope she does well. After my last store she will take me back to my place and she will pick up her DH to go shopping with him while I babysit their son.
shopping mom Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 2 of my DSs want to go so we will see, DS's girlfriend was a first timer last year but wants to go again. I thought I was going to be alone so I am excited about them going.
hoopysgirl Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 I am taking my best friend to Sears anyway. Ours is a local one so it won't be so overwhelming for her - she was too scared to go to Wal-Mart! Oh well, at least I don't have to wait all alone!!
Princess7915 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Last year my mother and I initiated my aunt (mom's sister.) She doesn't plan to go with us this year. My husband has agreed to "give it a try". Odds are he won't be attending next years adventure.
oldandintheway Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Hopefully this year my DH and I will be taking a friend with us BF shopping. She told me a couple of days ago that she was looking foward to going, but she's said that before and backed out at the last minute. Maybe this year will be different, she was on the phone with her mother the other day and her mother hinted around about coming to visit on Thanksgiving weekend. My friend informed her mother that she couldn't come because she won't be home on BF, she will be out shopping with us .
daworths8 Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 my mother in law!!!!!!!! me too! Last year she thought I was nutso, but Ive been showing her the ads for this year and shes all for it, so shes hitting walmart with me:D We get along great so we will be acting crazy the whole time:tongue1:
angelicswtnss Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Last year I took my best friend for the first time and now she's hooked. This year i'm taking my sister. She is so excited about it.
jellybean051901 Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 My aunt is hoping to have the day off to go with us for the first time
StefyAndIansMom Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Last year I took my sister, cause she couldn't figure why I was sooo crazy about it, then she seen the ads, when we got to Wal-mart, an hour early, she was like uhh no fun, but when 5 hit and they ripped off the paper, she was goin crazy, she took her 1 year old with us, everyone started swarin around, so she had no way out, so she started throwing cabbage patches over everyones head, she got the RUSH and wanted out, lol!
bayhaysay Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I'm taking my 11yo daughter with me for the first time.
lucyismycat Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 DH will be going with me for the first time (for the early stuff, anyway). He's 6'7" and can reach the high stuff for me :)
sundevils Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 We always go in a big group...but this year is going to be even bigger. I am taking my hubby this year (he keeps going back and forth on wether he really wants to go or not....but hes going whether he likes it or not!! lol) Im going to pull the pregnancy card and that I need my "Big protective husband" to run interference and make sure I dont get hurt. Im also taking my cousins wife, and a girl I work with. The girl I work with sweats shes a hardcore shopper...but I dont know if I buy it...shes never gone on Black Friday...how hardcore can you be?
