ChristmasShopping Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 We were talking about this last night at my house and I can remember starting shopping on Black Friday 15 years ago when my first nephew was born. I stood out in the freezing cold waiting for TRU to open! My DH has been going 8 years (we have been together 8 years.. LOL! ). No one in his family did the Black Friday thing until they met me and now we all go out!!
zim05 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I've been BF shopping for about 5 years, since high school. I think the first year my mom, older sis and I were looking at ads on TG and my mom and aunt needed a new tv so we decided to try it out. Before that I didn't know much about BF, but we were hooked ever since!
booga12345 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 About 7 years now, ever since our first was born.
mccabefamily29 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I have been Black Friday shopping for about 15 years...I started young going each year with my aunt and grandmother.
angelbabymommy Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Ive been going for the past 6 years; when I had my oldest daughter. Now, I wouldnt miss it for the world! :)
oldandintheway Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 The first time I went BF shopping was with my dad when I was 11 or 12 years old. I'm 37 now, so I'd say about 25 years. Geez, I'm feeling old now.
Gporter34 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Many years, not quite sure how many exactly. As long as I can remember, I have been going.
Miss Star Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I've been going with my mom since I was around 10 or 11 and I'm now 24 lol
arci122 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I think this may be my 20th anniversary!!! (I started young) man that makes me sound OLD!!!
hockeyfanamo Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 This will be my 6th shopping BF. I went one other year when I was still in high school many moons ago.
elena_398 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I went out first when my son was 5 yrs old... sooo I've been going out 8 years
sns128 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I started going with my mom when I was a teenager and have kept the tradition with my DH since getting married a long time ago. I don't want to count years, makes me feel old.
mgmckny Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Without having to go to work afterwards about 15 years. But when I worked retail, I hit a lot of other stores on the way to mine or the first couple of hours, we would make runs down the mall to the big stores for their giveaways. I did that for at least the last 8 to 10 years I worked retail (left in 1995 for a "normal" job).
shopping mom Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I think I started going about 6 years ago.
