I’m lucky, my husband loves to go bargain hunting in the early morning of Black Friday. I want one of those $298 40 LCD TV’s that Target will have. I promised my self when I found one under $400 I would get it, but the $399 one at Fry’s didn’t get me out, because it was a rebate thing, and I don’t trust those.
Considering I have pretty much finished my Christmas shopping, I have no intention of going out on Black Friday this year. The last few things I need to get aren’t big sale type things, so I can get them anytime.
I’m too tired and torpid after hosting Thanksgiving to bother with shopping. I’ll sit here with you fine folks til I go out late that afternoon for a glass of wine with other torpid persons. Then home for more torpidity.
@augustlan That’s OK. I felt like making light of a very ambiguous term, and as a result, I now know how to find the US Thanksgiving holiday. All I knew before was that it was in late November. Now I know it’s the fourth Thursday in November.
I’ll most likely Fluther on all Black Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays!
Of course, we Canucks don’t do Black Friday, but, if I were to head my girl’s way, the American/Canadian bridge would be a disaster. To get over the bridge it’d take a few hours. Luckily, I am taking off mid-week to go up to her cabin in N. Michigan, so, I’ll bypass all of the shopping crap and will be up North hanging with her family and the deer. :)
I’ll be working, recovering from thanksgiving week. Plus, I dislike shopping.
So I’m with ya.
My wife on the other hand, is, for the first time, gonna wade out into the crazy sauce that is Black Friday. Best of luck honey. It’s been nice knowing you.
No way in hell am I doing anything other than sleeping in on Black Friday.
There was one year I had no choice but to go shopping on Black Friday. My son somehow lost one of his sneakers at a relative’s house on Thanksgiving. We couldn’t find it anywhere, and it was his only pair of shoes. I waited until late afternoon, then headed to the Stride Rite store at a nearby outlet mall. It wasn’t any more crowded than it usually is on the weekend, so it wasn’t bad at all. But to wait in line at the ass crack of dawn?
Not for all the coffee and chocolate in the world. But maybe, and this is a big maybe, I could be tempted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan or Daniel Craig.
@marinelife Yes, and you can stay in your pajamas and drink coffee. Though I’ve known a few people that shop in their pj’s the day after Thanksgiving. lol
Black Friday means nothing to me regardless. When I used to Christmas shop I usually waited to the last days before Christmas to go shopping. I don’t have many people to shop for anymore so all I do now is pull out a 50 or 100 dollar bill, hand it off on Christmas Day and say Merry Christmas! People always need money.
