harrispizza4 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I'm about 10 min. from any store I want including the mall. I never have to go to far and we have family who live 1 hr away that spend the night with us because all they have is a wal-mart also. I would prolly fall asleep if I had to drive an hour back home.lol
zim05 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 About 15-20 miles from where we usually do BF We are actually between two towns that both have a Target, Walmart and K-mart but we choose to go to the bigger town that has a Target, Walmart, BB within a mile of each other. The bigger town also has two malls, Kohls, old navy and a lot more... But after we are done in the big town my mom and sis head home but I go on to the smaller town (around 8-9am) and double check at that Target and Walmart for anything we missed or things that we know will not be gone by than (like bedding, misc. movies/cds) and pick it up then.
kellane26 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 45 miles to any good stores. We only have JCPenny and Wal-Mart here.
Princess7915 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I drive about 20 minutes to my mom's side of town and we shop together. Any major store you could possibly want to shop at is within 5 minutes of her house. Well- on a normal day anyway! There are lots of smaller stores that are great to shop at too in the cities if you feel like taking the time to drive. That's the good thing about living in Hampton Roads but the traffic is terrible!!!
amos311 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Most stores are with in 3 miles of me, but for the ones we don't have here, BB&B, Macy's, etc, we travel about 40 miles, one way.
MikeyBFTrooper Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Well the family lives up in the foothills about 35-40min away from Fresno. So it takes roughly that to get there. And the stores start right when you hit the first exit into Fresno. I know not to speed on that road anymore since I got me a ticket last year
msl94 Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I am lucky enough to have Target located less than 5 minutes from my home. It would take me roughly 10 minutes to get to the nearest shopping mall, with stores such as Best Buy, Circuit City, Home Depot, Old Navy, Kmart, and several Gamestop stores surrounding it. If I need to go to the outlets, the closest ones would be roughly 30 minutes away.
ChristmasShopping Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Target, Wal-Mart, CVS, Walgreens and Staples are all about 5 minutes from me. Best Buy is about 15 minutes. Normally on Black Friday we end up driving about 50 miles total.... but a lot of that is going back and forth to different stores on different sides of town.
ruralmom Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 I have to travel about 40 miles to the nearest Target, Kohl's, Best Buy, etc. It's a trek but there are three of us. We split up between two stores and are able to meet up for breakfast around 7:30.
mandifour Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 I have a mall/target/toys r us/walmart within about 3 miles. So I dont have to travel far.
Bursley2010 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Not far, luckily. We've got a Best Buy, Target, TRU, Kohls, Dick's Sporting Goods, and a mall all within about a 3 mile radius from our house.
wx4svr Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 At most, 4 miles for Bestbuy, and RIGHT across from BestBuy is a H U G E mall that has basically EVERY store you could ever imagine.
jymckamey1 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 i'm lucky. no matter if i'm in chattanooga with my mom or at home in marietta, ga...i'm less than 5 miles from either a shopping mall, walmart or target. this year i'm gonna try shopping in marietta because i'm remodeling my basement and hope to cash in on some home furnishings and electronics...
CrayZMama80 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Wow some of you have really long drives! I feel lucky now. Menards = 4 miles Walmart = 4 1/2 miles Target = 6 miles Best Buy = 9 miles A new one was just built by us. Meijer = 9 miles So it all depends on where I decide to go. That depends on who has what I need and the best deals.
drod58 Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I'm really lucky, I have to travel only 4 mins. I have the mall with JCPenney, Sears, Macys, Disney Store and other good stores. Outside the mall it is Target, BB, TRU, and Walmart.
mcwalker Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 For me it has changed each of the past two years and again this year. In 2006 my family got together on the west side of Chicago and we were in a hotel just 5 minutes away from a cluster of stores. Last year I drove about 15 miles out to a retail cluster in the Nassau Hub area of Long Island. This year, I will be at my traditional Thanksgiving destination south of Weatherford, Texas, and will drive about 25 miles to the Hulen Mall area of western Fort Worth, where most chain stores can be found.
fairyprincess83 Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 We have Wal Mart about 1 mile away but don't usually go there, Target and everything else is about 8 miles away.
mrs.winter Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 about 120 miles all said and done I will of gone about 300 or so !But it is all worth it !I just hope gas prices stay down and do go up for the Holiday!
tmcws Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I'll be driving 3.5 hours each way to do my shopping this year. (Ok, I could shop closer to home but we moved this year and I just can't break up with my old favorite haunts) I'm staying with a friend who hates BF on Thanksgiving night so I can be in line by 2:30 or so on BF.
sjmmclark Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Last year i drove all the way from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Bangor, Maine. It takes 8 hours to get there and 8 hours back. I am planning on going again this year but plans may change due to our dollar doing really badly right now.
littlezar Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I usually don't exceed a 15 mile radius from wherever I'm at.
floridasun5 Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I live about 2 miles away from one of the largest roads here that has all of the large stores on it like Best Buy, Target, Home Depot, Circuit City, local mall, etc. so not far at all :) However, if I want to travel to the bigger mall with the nicer stores, its about 20 minutes.
