znufrii, I'd say prices are one of the benefits of shopping Black Friday.

Posted by kelly Nov 13 '12, 09:12

I can get some great items for a great price - and yeah, they MAY be available somewhere else during the holiday season, also for a good price - but why take the chance?

This year we are on a budget. If I can get Nathan and the other kids in our life some quality gifts at a steal, I'll gladly wait in line.

I enjoy the chaos of Black Friday shopping. Kim hates it, though, so we never go. -- nm - David Nov 13, 09:28 16
- I used to enjoy it...but not when I have to get in line at midnight for a 6am opening...it's gotten so ridiculous over the last few years... - Jim Nov 13, 09:34 5
  - 8pm at Wal Mart on turkey day is going to be effing insanity. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 13, 09:36 4
    - Yep...and more than I'm willing to give for a cheap TV. -- nm - Jim Nov 13, 09:38 2
      - I mean, Amazon will just *give* them to you! -- nm - David Nov 13, 09:39 1
        
        THIS is what I'm saying! -- nm - Jim Nov 13, 09:44
    - I want to go to Target. I'm terrible! -- nm - Diva - excited and happy Nov 13, 09:37
- I haven't been to one since folks started getting trampled/stomped for 4 dollar crock-pots, but as said earlier I am intrigued by Thanksgiving 9:00pm. -- nm - Diva Nov 13, 09:31 2
  - No matter what time they make it, there'll be a line. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 10:00
  - that's till turkey coma territory for me... -- nm - znufrii Nov 13, 09:32
- going alone is tough, I do it almost every year, and every year I wish I had another set of hands. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 13, 09:30 6
  - I'm guessing I'll have Nathan with me this year. That'll be...interesting. - kelly Nov 13, 10:20
  - Hi! -- nm - Pippy si Nov 13, 09:32 4
    - another set of hands for items in the store. - groiny Nov 13, 09:32 3
      - time to make your daughter earn her keep! - You Only Remlik Twice Nov 13, 09:34 2
        
        hard to do when some of the gifts are for her, retard. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 13, 09:35 1
        
        damn it! -- nm - You Only Remlik Twice Nov 13, 10:33
yeah, I get that - znufrii Nov 13, 09:20 7
- the first sentence of your IM is key. it works great for advanced planners who like to save money and cross things off their lists. - Diva Nov 13, 09:27
- That's too much advanced planning for you? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 13, 09:24 5
  - If there's something I know I need, I'd rather just go out and get it taken care of now. - znufrii Nov 13, 09:31 3
    - There's a difference (to me) if you can get it for 50% off in 2 days. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 09:46
    - That's not planning, that's impulse control. :) -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 13, 09:38 1
      - well, a lack of that obviates the need for the other... :) -- nm - znufrii Nov 13, 09:43
  - anything past *open box of cheese-its to eat* is too much planning. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 13, 09:29
yeah, it basically adds up to double the presents for the kids. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 13, 09:16 1
- Many retailers up here have started adopting the BF sales. Usually they aren't as awesome as yours, but it's nice to have the option. - Shaun Nov 13, 09:26
