ZoSoDragon Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I couldn't bear to drag myself to the store in the middle of the night to line up There are probably still some sales going on though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myledzep Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Nothing. For me, payday is not until next Friday so.....I'm laying low this weekend but friends and I will probably go to a movie & try to avoid the malls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Oh I stay as far away from stores today as humanly posible They were advertising all sorts of places opening doors at 4am. I was happily sound asleep at that hour I try to do most of my shopping online. Crowd control in my apartment is pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manderlyh Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I refuse to go out for those 4-hour sales. The mall here opened at 1am this morning for shopping. Fucking pathetic. The news said that there were over 30,000 people at the mall alone, and that doors had been ripped off the frames, people trampled, and merchandise destroyed. Yuck. I'd rather not partake in that. We are going to the store, in a while, but since the 4-hour sales are long over, we'll have to deal with a crowd, and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliet Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Hello: I was watching reports on the amount of Canadian shoppers who flocked across the border for Black Friday shopping..One local reporter, who lives in a town that is trying to rejeuvenate its downtown, was giving the wait times at the border into Michigan..I wonder how much longer he will have his job?? Shoppers may believe they are getting deals but remember one has to add in the high cost of gas to get to the stores in the US. Are they really saving that much?

IGG Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Nothing....but I did take a cruise through the parking lot of my local Best Buy on my way home last night, I just had to chuckle at the 100 people already lined up for the 5:00 am opening. Bear in mind this was 7:30 pm. I'm not sure any savings is worth camping out like that....not even a cool concert ticket to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muse Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 My cousin is just finishing a 24 hour shift at his two jobs today: Best Buy and some mall store. I can just imagine the insanity storm he's just weathered. Does the money you save really make it worth the trouble? Anyways, I already said that my only Black Friday savings was a 50% off White Album. I looked around FYE but noticed that the stuff I want to buy isn't on sale, or isn't even stocked. And, yet, every single time they ask me "did you find everything ok?" at a check out stand I automatically say "yeah". Why do I keep saying that? What will they do when I tell them I couldn't find half of the albums on my want list? They can't do anything. It'll just make the rest of the check out awkward. So, next time I go through the line, I'll still say "yeah". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyRaven Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Nothing, I hate getting up early and large crowds at stores get me really pissed. I prefer ebay any way. That way I can usually find exactly what I'm looking for and sometimes less for what it sells for in stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tang991 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I bought some Super Slinkeys this morning... saw the lines at stores while driving home... and laughed at the idiots actually buying stuff. If you look in the paper this week you can just find a coupon that'll get you the same stuff for the same price next friday. And apparently the local guitar shop doesn't celebrate black friday. my super slinks were still $6 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footsteps of Dawn Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 There isn't a damned thing in the universe that I would wake up at 4 in the morning for...except maybe a Led Zeppelin concert, but thankfully they're REASONABLE people, too. So yeah, I got nothing today. Even if I was as commerce-crazed as some people and wanted to get up, there wouldn't have been any place to park. It's hard enough to find a spot on your average weekend...I can't imagine what this morning was like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manderlyh Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I saw on the news yesterday that some of the people who waited in line at the mall to get in at 1am on Friday morning had been waiting there since 6am on Thursday morning. What a waste of everyone's time. What the hell? Even if you make $6 an hour, (which I don't thank God), you've just spent $144 of your "money" (what you would have made working during this time, theoretically) waiting in line to save money. Dumbasses. I did buy some things at a store that offers a Black Friday sale yesterday. It wasn't anything that was on sale, and it was stuff that we needed--a new pot for a plant that seriously needs re-potting, some potting soil, some food, and a few plates to complete my "new dishes" set. None of which was on sale except for the pots (40% off). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaughterOfZeppelin Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I bought some baby items and a pair of slippers, none of it was on sale though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattmc1973 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I bought a camcorder, I wanted one because of our new baby. A 30gb hardrive camcorder, I didn't want one that recorded to mini-DVD's or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the end's in sight Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I didn't even buy anything. I asked the manager at FYE for a Mothership tee and got my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Led Zep Girl Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I always go to the black Friday sales with my Aunt's. They always end up buying almost the whole store & I walk out with nothing. But, I buy stuff all year round. I'm usually the chauffeur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
