[ChristmasShopping]

Last year we were in line at 11 PM and didn't get home until 6PM that night. We hit Best Buy, Pep Boys, Wal-Mart, Target, Kohls, Bath and Body, Macys, TRU and a couple more places in the mall. How long do you normally stay out?

Last year, I was at Tanger Outlet around 10:00 on Thanksgiving night for the Midnight Madness sale to start at Aeropostale. Then, in line at Toys R Us around 1:30. Also went to Target, Walmart, Best Buy and a few other places. Did not get home until around noonish the next day - Black Friday.

I usually leave my house between 330 and 4am on Black Friday and get home anywhere between 1030pm and midnight.

I usually get in line between 3 and 4 am (depends on store and opening time) Then I am normally home between 6-8 pm. I just enjoy the whole day!!

We are out on BF around 3am at Walmart (24hr store), then get to Target b/f they open. My mom goes to various other stores after Target but my sis and I hit up Best Buy and usually we are finished by 10am!

We normally head out around 11pm-12am to check out our first store to see how bad it is. We then go home sleep a couple hours then head back around 3am. We shop till around 9am-10am then hit like Cracker Barrel or something for some food. Shop some more then head home around 12pm-1pm to unload everything and rest for a couple hours then head back out to stores we didn't get to and pick up our odds and ends (last year that was Wal Mart as I refused to buy anything big from there due to the garbage they gave this site) I guess we normally finish up about 6pm-7pm and head home for Thanksgiving leftovers.

We usually leave either around 11pm and relieve my dd who is standing in line for us at best buy or we leave around 1am. Depending, of course, on the ads. We are home by noon or 1 because we then go out and pick out our Christmas tree, bring it home and decorate it that night. By the end of the day we are exhausted!!

Last year, my wife and I attempted to go to the outlets at 11:30pm; however, the amount of traffic prohibited us to make it to the stores. As a result, we went to KB Toys for their midnight sale. Once we finished there, my wife went to Target for their 5am sale, while I was at Staples for their 6 am sale. We would meet again a few hours later for breakfast and then some shopping at Best Buy before heading home by lunch time.

We usually leave the house at 4am and then dh goes to work around 10am. I finish shopping and am usually home between 1-3 in the afternoon.

I usually leave my house between 330 and 4am on Black Friday and get home anywhere between 1030pm and midnight.

This sounds like a good idea with the price of gas!! Go for the gold and get it all done at once. I can sleep on Saturday.

[hockeyfanamo]

DH and I get to our first store around 0300. We normally hit 2-3 stores then go to breakfast. We are usually home 1100-1200.

[ObiRich]

Leave the house around 3:00, usually have to make an unloading stop at home around 10:00, then back out for another couple of hours. Usually home for a nap about 2:00pm

[toebaby]

Wow, I'm usually gone from 10pm-10 am... I thought I was bad, but you guys really know how to make a day of it! It's such a fun day!!

[zoemariesmamma]

we leave the house no later than 4 and usually don't get home until 8 or 9 that night. my sister went last year and we had to bring her home at around 4 that afternoon so hopefully she will be driving herself this year. my mom can usually hang although she is exhausted!!

[mccabefamily29]

Depends on when I leave for my first store. I usually head out about 10 pm and am home by 10 am Black Friday morning.

[elena_398]

I shop by myself so Im usually home by 10am. Then I have coffee, put away all the presents, then usually talk to the family... THEN SLEEP. lol

[siczlo]

Same here! My mom and I get to our first store around 3am and we're usually done between 10-11am. I couldn't imagine staying out all day...after a while the crowds and traffic tend to get to me.

[zoemariesmamma]

i always have a plan for early day..but then we do some strolling at random places after lunch..we usually eat out lunch and dinner..good girl time!!

[angelbabymommy]

Last year we came back around 2 pm. We hit some stores even after the Early Bird sales were over and still got a few things at nice prices. Each year it varies...so I dont know what time we'll get back this year.

[Melissa]

[sunni0913]

We are usually home dropping stuff off at about 10am. But then later in the day we will go back out and just look around.

[Kaarak]

We normally leave the house about 3:30 a.m. shop straight through with a small break for breakfast/lunch depending on timing, and the get home around 4 ish. Have dinner with friends, and hit some more shops.

[nick_jenni_jocelyn]

I leave the house at 4:00am and am usually home by noon.

me too. we might leave a little earlier, but we are usually home by noon. one year me, my SIL and my MIL were out from 2am-4pm the same day.... we were very tired when we got home, lol. this year, BF is also my DD's 6th birthday, so i have to be home by noon or i might not hear the end of it, lol.

[sm1kla]

All day, we head out early usually 3 or 4 am...although last year I think we started later. When one durango is filled we dropped it off at my sisters (my stuff can't come home, the boys can't see what mommy bought) and then we go out with hers. We have the bags marked & my brother-in-law will unload then drive it to my house and we all meet there usually around 9 pm.
