Who's doing the Day After Thanksgiving shopping? - Page 2

I saw in a flyer that WAl-Mart has a bunch of DVDs on sale for $3.88 - pictured is You've Got Mail (which I've always wanted) - so actually I AM torn about whether or not to even battle that evil ass store....and inevitably I'll get there and they won't have that one movie that I want....

I won't give a cent of my money to that wretched corporation, so I'm going to price match it at Circuit City and get Blade Runner for $3.88.

Get the local paper tomorrow night or Friday morning, they're sure to have the flyers for every store in them, including that wretched one.

You are such a diva.

Actually, I've been shopping all week. The stores are stocked and not crowded yet. I'll probably finish it up today.

Hell yes. It's an annual tradition for my mom and I. I'm hitting Target and some stores in the malls. I hate shopping, but it's fun on Black Friday, since I enjoy watching people getting all riled up over a pair of sneakers or whatever.

Plus, I'm cheap. :P

I haven't gotten one thing yet.

I usually have my Christmas shopping done months beforehand, but for some reason, I've been slacking this time around.

okay, you didn't mean 4 in the morning, right? cause that's absurd. But, also, you were fighting with a girl over some pants? You are the flaminest "straight" guy ever. That reminds me of the Will & Grace where they're at the Barney's sale, and chicks keep offering Will money for his jeans

Anyway, were they girls or boys pants?

Of course at four in the morning. If you aren't out there early, there's absolutely no point in going.

The pants weren't for me, they were for my friend Jamie.

I ended up getting better ones anyways.

If there's an FYI near you and you don't have the Blondie Singles Box yet, I saw it on sale for $25 the other day and it might be cheaper on Friday.

I never buy anything from FYI, though, I just like to go in and laugh at the ridiculous prices.

I don't really get it, i've never gone shopping on that day at all. Could it really be that crowded? How weird, that i've never experienced this phenomena that everyone else seems to know about and take for granted. I'm not usually sure whether i can buy Xmas presents until the week of, I guess that's why.

But i'm pretty sure it wouldn't be worth getting up at 4 in the morning, for me, anyways...

If you don't have a lot of money to spend, it's the best day to go Christmas shopping.

Black Friday is the biggest sale day of the year and once it's over, everything gets jacked up. Stuff is mad cheap and stuff is even cheaper if you know how shop.

It sure is a zoo, you'll get angry and probably yell at someone, but it's worth it.

I am the coupon and sale King. When I go grocery shopping, they're ready for my ass. It may take a little extra time to clip coupons on Sunday mornings, but if I didn't, I wouldn't be getting $125 worth of groceries for $30.

It's still crowded here in WV on the day after T-giving, but we recently (within the past five years) started to have a TAX FREE WEEKEND. That weekend (Fri-Sun) has become bigger than Black Friday.

kay, thanks. I get most of my food at whole foods, i hope it works out for me.

I usually only have (maybe) six or seven presents to buy. It's usually really easy for me to find almost everything i need on Telegraph in Berkeley. Maybe next year i'll think about saving up before Thanksgiving...hmmm....
