love2beurwifey Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I go with my sisters and my cousins. I can't wait to go this year.
conleybunch Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Dad, Sister, Mom sometimes one of my wonderful parents stays with my 2 children if DH has to work, so I can go shop
lbass Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 It varies, this year hopefully my hubby, sis, her man will be with me. I may go early and they may meet up with me.
dbaby4ever Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Usually DH goes. We have a list and we go for different items. This year he will be working so I will probably go alone. I've been talking to a friend but they don't seem to enthused to go. But the more I think about it I wonder if it wouldn't be better to go alone...no one to slow me down! lol
lookingfordeals3 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 The last few years it was my husband and I that would go out early. We would hit Walmart and get everything we needed and then I would drop him off at home. My oldest dd and her friends would take his place and we would be out all day. This year, though, we're not together so he's agreed to take the kids overnight. My oldest and her friends are going during "blitz" this year. Not sure they're ready for it but it will be interesting and fun.
Karmarose Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I shop alone. I'm a control freak so my hubby won't shop with me when I'm on a mission and I'm easily annoyed by my friends wandering and slowpoking. hehe I like to get in and get out.
maguszxz Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I'm always go with my mom, but I would like to get my friend, Tabitha to come with me this year. Her beauty would distract and her height would be perfect in grabbing stuff off high shevles.
katsrus Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 My son & go. We usually try Target, Walmart, & Menards.
LondonAtDark Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 This year I am taking my daughter who will be 11, and hopefully a friend of mine can join us. If not it will just be me and my DD. She is already looking forward to it! I don't know if she is looking forward to shopping or the fact that we will go out for breakfast...
socrmom92 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I shop by myself - anyone else with me just slows me down!
almccann9 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 My sister and I have always gone together but we did talk our mom into joining in last year so maybe she'll come along again!!
TotallyFrosted Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 It's usually me and my mom, although I have done it alone. Last year was the first year dh went with me instead of my mom. Not sure if he wants to tackle it again this year or not. We closed on our house last year the day before Thanksgiving, started moving on Thanksgiving day, went to bed around 1 am, got up about 2:30, took a freezing cold shower (forgot to turn on the hot water heater ), went shopping, came home and unloaded our stuff and started moving again......whew. After that experience dh's not so sure he wants to do it again, lol.
noaimhere Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I go w/ my a friend now. I used to go alone. The last couple of years we have brought others and that hasn't worked out as well.
dxdschiz Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 My in laws introduced me to this tradition. I'd never done it before. Now since in falls near my birthday I make everyone do the midnight run to the outlets for clothing and then we stand on line for the electronics as our last stops:tired:.
msivy Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 this year will be my first one and the first one my husband and i do together. it'll be tricky because i'm mainly shopping for him so i have to hide my cart hahaha... first timers in the snow! wish us luck hahahahah
hnybee411 Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Well, I went alone for several years, then the year before last I talked my mom into coming with me and she had so much fun that she went with me again last year and my aunt tagged along. This year it's going to be me, my aunt, my mom and my cousin.
mgreen Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 It's me and my sister - ONLY. No kids, no husbands and no one else. We have had other people go with us over the years and they just can't hang. So we made our rule.
CarlaMasterson Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 My daughter and maybe a friend of hers
morningshopper Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I usually go shopping with my mom and my younger sister, however last year my husband had surgery on Thanksgiving, so my shopping was limited, but I did get some deals before the trip back to the hospital in the morning
zoemariesmamma Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I shop alone. I'm a control freak so my hubby won't shop with me when I'm on a mission and I'm easily annoyed by my friends wandering and slowpoking. hehe I like to get in and get out.people who meander or want to eat annoy me!! grab a granola bar and move your
Jen08 Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 In years past, I have shopped with my mom, or my sister, a friend or my MIL and SIL. I have found that I do love being with someone but I am just fine by myself. I have had to go by myself before and just meet up with my MIL and SIL for breakfast and lunch and I still had a great time. I am not sure if I will be by myself this year or not. My hubby doesn't go AT ALL! He got out 1 year and stood in line for a Wii and after standing there and not getting it, he said NEVER AGAIN. LOL! He knows how much I love it, so he watches our 2 boys for me so I can go. He knows this is the one day out of the year that he can't call my cell asking me what time am I going to be home. haha
Mugglemom Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 I've always shopped with my sister, we had it down to a science. Except this year she has decided not to speak to me since July. So I guess she won't be coming for Thanksgiving and Black Friday. It won't be the same...life is too short to act like you have forever.
nicole20 Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 I go alone. no one in my family gets into the holiday spirit like me. I am the freak of my family who gets up and gets in lines at 2am to get the gifts, but the jokes on them because i always find some great deals!
tabrams Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Usually my daughter. Last yr, my 13yo niece surprised me and asked to go with me. :banana01::
Amber76 Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 I used to go with my husband but now he stays home with our daughter and I go alone. They join me later when things have calmed down a bit.
bigiweezy Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 My dh always comes along. I'm the runner, because I'm quicker. He's the big, burly man protecting the cart, lol. He also grabs the big things or things I can't reach. He loves it as much as I do. Some years I send him out at 2 to get in line and I join him after dropping off the kids at grandma's house. He is one of the annoying ones that thinks you have to eat, lol.
manxwnch Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 any one I can rope into standing in a line for houres, my daughter, her boyfriend, my husband and my other daughters
sastolfi Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Do you have friends/family who want to go with you on BF but you are not sure if you want to take them with you as they might slow you down?? I am very organized for BF, know what I want and what stores I am going to. I have taken friends in the past who just don't have a plan and they slow me down. My girlfriend and I go as a team, she can get small items that we want and I can stand in line for the electronics and such. We switch off and it works well for us. We have gotten everything we want every year. This year we have a friend who wants to come and I almost want to say no to her but she has no one to go with.
