Hello! My name is Misty and I've been married to my husband for 9 years. We have a beautiful 7-year old daughter and a 6-month old "son" ... our chocolate lab, Rhys.

 

I've been shopping on Black Friday since 1999. I never go to sleep Thanksgiving night, so the next morning, I'm strictly running on adrenaline, excitement, and LOTS of caffeine!

Hey all - Brad from the nether-regions of NW Minnesota here. I dig the finding deals (so the wife doesn't spend as much!!) but on Black Friday, I'm pretty much the muscle and the reach for the sought after items, 6'2" 215, with a freakish 7' wingspan comes in handy.

I would fight you for that T.V.... One of the girls I shop with is 6' 1". :gdgirlfight3ol:

Hey all! I'm Miranda, 25. I've been married for 6 1/2 years and I'm a SAHM to 2 beautiful little girls. (You can check out my albums on my profile page to see my sweeties.) Lexi will soon be turning 6 and Kaylie is 2. I've been on GottaDeal for awhile. I lurked in 2004 and finally joined in 2005. I love BF! My aunt turned me on to BF 6 years ago, god rest her soul. She will be greatly missed this year.

Hey all! I'm Audrey, I'm 26 and from Columbus, OH. I've been married to my DH Chris for about a year and a half. For the past three years I have dragged my little brother (he's 22) along on BF. He's the only one who will run when I say to without asking any questions and that is very handy when trying to get the door busters. I can't wait for the ads to start coming out. Happy shopping season!

Hi, I'm Jennifer, married 1 year since the 6th of this month. i'm a stay at home mom for right now, with two kids. Daughter 7 and son 5. I started on this site first by lurking around in the freebies section about a year ago then about 6 months into it i thought i'd join. Been in love with the site ever since, now i'm all over the place from the freebies to the the contest, to the black friday ads. I'm preparing for BF early this year and mapping out my places to go... I usually just go no planning and end up a little frazzled by the end of the day. Hoping this year to get alot accomplished and hey maybe ALL my Christmas shopping done. (yeah right) thats wishful thinking. lol

Hi, My name is Grassy :tongue1:

 

I am married and have 3 boys.

 

I never knew that "the big sales on the day after Thanksgiving" actually had a name until I came to GottaDeal. So now if I say Black Friday, my husband still looks at me like :confused:and I say "you know...the day after Thanksgiving!" :sidesplit

Hi everyone! I'm Kris, I'm 36 and have been married to dh Paul for over 18 years. I have three teenagers, Ryan will be 18 tomorrow, Dylan is 15 and Allyson (Allie) is 13. The younger two's bdays are in Jan. and Feb., so BF shopping is for xmas and bdays! I live in a little BFE town called Ashland City, TN, which is about 30 min. from downtown Nashville where I work as a legal assistant. I've been coming to this site for a couple of years now and love it! I'm known as the one who finds all the deals in my family. All it takes is some research and a little luck! ;)

I'm Steffani (Steff) and I lurk around Gottadeal.com all year long but try to become active around this time of year as I love it! :)

 

I live in Central Florida, 37 years old, married for 9 1/2 years now and have a teen daughter who will be 15 next week. I am currently the owner of a small retail store, but we are getting ready to probably shut it down in November due to how bad things have been. :indiffere

 

I have been BF shopping off and on for many years. I'm not a nut about it and have to go out every year, I just base it off of what I need and what is available. I didnt go last year, but will probably go this year as long as the sales are acceptable. I dont do the camping out anymore as in my area, there are a lot of die-hards that start lining up EARLY and I wont do that, so I pretty much stave off doorbusters and just get the regularly good sale items. Looking forward to more ads soon! :cheesy:

Hi there! I'm Taylor and am a 2 year BF veteran. I started looking for BF deals early this year and stumbled upon this great site! I look forward to chatting with you all over the next few months. So, about me, I live in Oklahoma and have been married to my wonderful husband, Tony, for almost 4 years now (sheesh! I'm getting old!) We have a beautiful 9 month old little girl named Tegan whom I can't wait to shop for this BF! I work at a communications firm as a dispatcher and am also a full time college student (2 semesters away from my BS in Bussiness Admin :gdsign1:) So, this year I'm looking for a laptop...well, I guess really a netbook. I need something small to tote around for homework purposes. I'm hoping to find a really great deal!

Hi!

My name is Sheila. I live in the thumb area of Michigan. I usually do my BF shopping in Saginaw. I have a 21 yr old son who does not live with me, but I also have a wonderful man and live with him and his 13 yr old daughter.

I will unfortunately not be able to participate in the BF madness this year unless I do it online. I was scheduled for surgery on 10/21 and I would have been ok I think to go shopping, but it has been postponed to sometime in November, so I will almost surely be unable to handle actually going to a store. This is going to hurt!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll be on here watching all of you get the good deals! Maybe I will be able to hit a couple of local stores (WalMart - after the rush, TSC, Ace Hardware). We shall see. Wish me luck.

Welcome newcomers and old hats.

 

I'm Mark, from Queens, New York City. I have been married for just over ten years and we have a 7-year-old daughter. I got into BF (and GottaDeal) for the first time in 2006. I am a city planner, specializing in transporation planning, with a leading international planning/engineering consuting firm headquartered across the street from Madison Square Garden and Penn Station in Manhattan.

 

I grew up in Dallas and until a few years ago my family has had a tradition of getting together for Thanksgiving in a farm house in rural Parker County, Texas (west of Ft. Worth) or my parent's house in Ft. Worth, and we did NOT shop over Thanksgiving weekend. In 2006, the first year that I got into BF we had a family get together in suburban Chicago and last year I went to stores in Long Island, relatively near home. This year will be the first time that I combine a return trip to Texas with BF (in western Ft. Worth and Weatherford).

Hi everyone! My name is Deanna. I am 27 and live in Lewisville, NC. I've been married for 5 years to my husband Dave, and we have 3 kids and soon to have a dog as well :) I'm a stay at home mom. I grew up in the Winston-Salem area of NC, and my husband is originally from La Plata, MD. We met in Roanoke, VA and lived there up until April 2007. We moved to Clemmons, NC to a house we really loved, but our home was hit by a tornado in May of this year so we had to move to the house we live in now.

 

Besides shopping and Black Friday, other things I enjoy are genealogy, reading, and World of Warcraft. I am starting school in January to work on my Associates in Business Administration (International Business).

 

I've done Black Friday for 5 years I think and it's gotten a little more obsessive for me each year. I mostly buy for my kids and husband, but occasionally pick stuff up for other family or friends. I think my favorite things about BF are 1) that rush you get during the wait - kinda like Christmas morning as a kid when you are waiting for all the adults to get their coffee fixed and such so you can start tearing into presents 2) having 36 hours of ME time, to be with my friends and aunts to just shop and have adult conversation and 3) BF and Thanksgiving for me are kind of the "start" of the Christmas season for me - it always gets me in the Christmas mood.

My name is Joanmarie and I live in the Tampa Bay area. Married forever to the best guy ever. 3 children ds26, dd14 and ds 10. DS26 and wife gave us our 1st grandchild in August. I work at home part time and have been at SAHM mostly. I worked outside the house while putting hubby thru school. We are truly lucky that 1 of us has always been home with the kids.

 

I have gone out on BF since the 80s (Yikes). Started with my Mom, now deceased, so now I go it alone. Hubby always complained I bought too much and then 1 year I said I wasn't going and he was upset that I would miss the good sales. Go figure!

 

I am online most of the day and Gottadeal.com is always an open page. I use it all year. My in-laws are always amazed when I tell them how much I paid for something-gotta brag about gottadeal.
