Tracy72 Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 my cousin has been coming with me the last 2 yrs...they come out of state to my home for Thanksgiving so she comes with me...and my mom and 2 nieces and 2 sils....
elena_398 Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 I go by myself. Absolutely no one wants to head out and stay in line all night. I don't mind. It gets me in and out and to the next store more quickly. LOL
aerosmithgirl Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 I was coming in here to say the same thing! My family and friends say I'm "out of my mind" for getting up that early and heading out. My son has been bugging me to go and this would be so helpful to me, but I shop for him, he's 14, and he would see what I am buying. Plus, he would probably run his mouth to his sister as to what was bought!! I can't trust him. Maybe this year, if I can get his xBox 360 without him seeing it. YEAH RIGHT!!
ebony0421 Posted August 25, 2007 Author Posted August 25, 2007 My husband used to think I was crazy for going out so early, but now that he's had a taste of it, he's ready. I am telling ya if that man tells me one more time that we need to price a small tent for bf, I am going to scream.
gjedda03 Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 it's always my mom, aunt, and I....it's a girls day only no guys allowed
jdoug Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Me, myself and I I get in, get what I want and I'm outta there and on to the next store!
delphernina Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 I shop with my dh. He makes a big deal out of saying he HATES to shop black friday but we really have fun. There's nobody I'd rather go shopping with. In years past I've shopped with various members of my family, and a couple of friends but unless someone begs to go with us - I'll just prefer to stick with dh.
Gumball Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 I shopped with a (now ex) boyfriend in '98 and he was no fun at all. Wouldn't even LOOK at any of the doorbusters with me and the only thing he bought was a package of socks!! He had a fit when I wanted to actually buy something at Walmart!
TAJ mommy Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 I go with my mom. We have a blast! DH stays home with the 3 kids. He went with me one time while we were dating and he vowed to never go again LOL.
berry1014 Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 My best friend, SIL, MIL and sometimes my cousin will head out around 4 am and hit walmart. The only main store in our town. Once we are done there we head back to my house to unload and then my DH joins us. I am not sure who will be going this year due to some changing jobs, moving etc.
Bunniq Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Growing up BF was mommy and me day. My mother and I would take that day just for us. Later on she started staying home with the grandkids so I started shopping alone on BF day. Last year, I hope, was the start of a new BF for me! I went with my sister, (her first BF out shopping), my mother, and my oldest aunt. We had a blast!
sns128 Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Normally DH and I go but this year might be hard as we have no one to watch the kids unless I can talk my brother into coming over at o'dark thirty.
laffnatu Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 I go with DH... he loves BF! A Office Depot recently opened in our city and his first response was alright, another place to go on BF. LOL. Two friends went with me while hubby was in Iraq a few years ago. I would much rather hubby went with me.
Kristin0128 Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 The last 4 years I have shopped with my Mom. Two years ago I talked my sister into going with us. She did not have a good experience the first year and in '06 she got more "aggressive" and got items. She is now hooked!! We are excited about our BF outing already!!
tlock1945 Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Always with my sister and a couple times our cousin went with us
sigrist_2000 Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 I am always alone. I have a plan and have no time for others to slow me down, lol.YES YES YES!!!! but i do go with others...i just get my syff and meet up laters...lol..or they would be at other stores and ill be at another store....less people i have to 'fight' with...
queenki Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 It has varied for me for the last few years. My dh went with me the first couple of years because he said he likes to see how crazy people get. I think its because he wanted to make sure I didnt spend all of our money:D But it really is a huge family thing. Last year my husband stayed at home with the kids and my mom,sister, cousin's wife, her mom and I shopped. We meet up with my aunt, cousin and her friend all meet up for breakfast and then went back out. I am so ready. I have already decided my game plan for this year. Is it time yet!!
ms_mckenna Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 My DD went with me the first time a few years ago when I was not buying her anything and now I think she would hurt me if I left her at home.
supershopper1 Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 I go with my daughter. Men just don't have the stamana to shop till you drop!
hnybee411 Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 When I was younger my cousin and I would go with my grandma, two aunts and my mom. About 10 or 11 my dad and her dad would come pick us up and take us to lunch and a movie. They'd shop until like 8 or 9 that night. When I became an adult and started doing some mega shopping I was astonished to find myself done and ready to head home at 9 or 10 in the morning. Of course, I also go by myself so I don't have to wait for anyone. When I'm in line I sometimes wish I had someone with me, but I love getting done so fast.
cleverbffool Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Me, myself and I I get in, get what I want and I'm outta there and on to the next store!
disneynutangie Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Normally solo and run into family while out shopping. Last year was the first time I went with my very best friend. My son and I drove to her family Thanksgiving noon since my husband is a police officer and had to work that coming weekend. She lives nearly 3 hours away. Her husband gladly babysat for us. We had such a great time and looking forward to it this year.
sassercc Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 My mom and my two sisters for the 5 am - 12 pm shift. In the past, my husband has been our taxi driver (LOL) from 12pm to 7pm when we venture to the big city :)
knb080998 Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I usually drag hubby along so that he can deal with the traffic while I sit back and relax. He also comes in handy to carry the bags!
brynnfromtheblock Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 My mommy of course!!~ a couple of people have tried to come but they couldn't hang... my step sister came with us 2 yrs ago and we were at BB at 8PM when it opened and we got our stuffed she was like "we're going somewhere else??!! we sent her home in mom's car!!
bayhaysay Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I go with my sister. We usually have some friends that go also so if there is a doorbuster at a store that we weren't planning on hitting really early they can help us out (and vice versa). :)
