Kaarak Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 It depends. Last year we were planning to hit up the outlets at midnight, and then go wait in line at Walmart and do the rest of our shopping. My boyfriend ended up having emergency back surgery at 10:00 p.m. the night before Thanksgiving so I didn't get to shop. In past years I"ve left the house about 4:30 a.m. and gotten home about noon, and gone back out in the evening.
w1df10wr Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 It varies. I like to be done by noon with everything on my list. There have been a few years where I've gone back out shopping in the afternoon - early evening.
londonstamper Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Coming from Canada we always stop at the Cracker Barrel for Thanks giving Dinner on Thursday night and then head straight to bed at the hotel. We are up at 4:00 the next morning and go all day until 8 p.m. went we head to our favorite American resturant for pasta, bread and salad: The Olive Garden. The next day we are up early again and shop until evening when we head across the boarded back home to wrap and stack our presents and compare with all the others who also shopped on Black Friday. This is a yearly tradition for me and my friends - this is year 6 for us!
mam627 Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 We usually head out to the stores around 3:00a.m. and get back home around 3:00p.m. I'm pooped after that, I don't see how some of you guys do it!
sns128 Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Normally we leave the house about 3:30 am and get home about 10 am.
debgriff1015 Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 My husband and I went to Best Buy, around 9:30, Thursday night and got our 32" Flatscreen, around 6:15 that following morning, and yes ,we had to go to work!!!! But it was WELL WORTH IT !!!!!
tlock1945 Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Usually home by early afternoon, we don't go until about 5:00 in the morning. We don't have a Best Buy, we go to Walmart first and we usually get everything we want.
sigrist_2000 Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 usually all day!!...usually its that whole weekend depending on the sales...cuz sometimes stores have a saturday only sale and sometimes they are better than the friday...so its like bf all over again...lol...(and then u have sunday with all of next weeks goodies...lol)...but those first few hours Friday...LOADS OF SHOPPING!!!
Bunniq Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Last year was the longest I have been out in a long time including travel time and waiting I would say close to 7 hours. This year I don't plan to be out as long. Nothing major I want, that requires camping out, so I am hoping to be home by 7AM. (After leaving home at 4AM) I like to get the items on my list and go. Hopefully if my mom and sister go with me again this year they will feel the same.
cherry33778 Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Til I drop but normally I'm back home by lunch, when I eat then pass out.
jarerice Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 I'm usually done by 11:00. And I think I will have to work this year. But only that afternoon.
carolannec Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Last year I was out of the house by about 3:30 am. I got home at about 10 am. This year since I'll be going with DH- we plan on shopping all morning. Getting some lunch. Going to a movie. Shopping some more and after all of that, heading off to look at furniture and new cars. So- I believe we'll be out until between 8 and 9 pm.(oh- and we plan on waking up at 2 and out the door by 2:30 am).
alexac Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 I am usually too excited to sleep the night before, so I stay up to do the online BF shopping (Kohl's, Best Buy, etc.) Then I'll go out and do any other shopping that I want to do. I am usually in bed by 10am.
Yakyma Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 I am at WalMart 11:30 p.m. - midnight the night before and never see home unless it is to unload something really big till 3:00-5:00 p.m. Then I crash about 8:00 P.M Friday night and don't get out of bed till noon on Saturday....LOL
cmw1009 Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 we are usually in line about an hour before the stores open and we are usually done within 4 hours
kennedy's mom Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 Usually from about 2am till around 10am
NeepNeep Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 Last year we were at BB at 9am on Thursday (2nd and 3rd in line so there was 1 person more nuts than us. He had arrived Wednesday night and slept in his van!). We're usually out until 2-3pm on BF. Then we pass out...
rldelo Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 We usually run out of steam around 11am. We have been known to drive to another local town with different stores, grab lunch and a break, and then start again through the early afternoon. Depends on the deals to be had!
JazzMama Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Not as long as alot of y'all . I'm usually done by 11AM, so about 7 hours in all.
Princess7915 Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 As long as it takes! Usually mid afternoon.
angelbabymommy Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 My friends and I get the day started about 4am and uually get back home between 2pm and 4pm.
jellybean051901 Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 We are usually back in by 1 or 2.. After we do all of our shopping we get lunch and then go home.
dereksmommy Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 as long as it takes but usually home by 2
likewhoa Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Wow, and I thought we were out late last year! My husband and I did our first BF together last year AND hosted the whole family for Thanksgiving, so we got no sleep whatsoever. We were up at about three and home by ten. Slept for a while then went back out to browse some and see if we missed anything. At least we got 99% of our shopping done that morning! I love it, but I don't know if I'll be able to drag my hubby out again this year.
marcimomof4 Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I leave my house about 3 Am and I get home late in the afternoon. I can not wait for this day!!!!
Novac Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Leave for a midnight-opening around 10:45 pm and return home around 3 pm.
