Do you do it and is it worth it?
I just want to be someone's everything....is that a problem?
Sitting at the edge of darkness
I have not in about 4-5 years. I used to spend Thanksgiving going thru ads and decideing where the best deals were. I would plan my route. Spent several mornings waiting in line in the cold and sometimes snow, but nearly everyone I encountered had a good attitude. There was even a new restaurant in town that loaded up their delivery van with carts and were supplying free coffee and hot chocolate to those in line and muffins for 0.25.
I actually totalled up the savings a few years and yes it was worth it, especially when I could get nearly all my xmas shopping done in one day!
I thought I would have a look at the previews on Amazon (UK) last night and a few Sony TV's caught my eye and apparently were circa 30% off the usual price. When I goggled the make/model it was the same price just about everywhere else! Not impressed. I am sure there are very good deals to be had but you have to sift through the offers to find them and check the prices elsewhere.
Its usually a slow day for the used book business, so i'm closed until Monday. No, i don't shop on Black Friday.
I've only done it twice and only go if there is an opportunity for significant savings on something I truly want without a significant interruption to my holiday plans.
Never have, never will.
I stay home, eat too much, play poker with the family, maybe watch a movie.
I shopped at the zoo where I work. We got a double discount so I took advantage of that.
I went to see Thor Ragnarok with the boys.
Nope....it amazes me that folks rush to buy something that will be there tomorrow.
Other than groceries and gas I try to shop about once per year. I hate malls and crowded stores and really hate standing in line to give people my money.
