Discount shopping
« on: November 19, 2018, 04:48:00 am »
Are you shopping this black Friday? I used to, but I cannot handle all of the walking and crowds, so I will stay home and
Read the 5 pound  newspaper that I plan on purchasing Thursday morning.

No. Too many crazy idiots fighting over saving a few bucks.  There are too many people DYING and a lot of times employees over these stupid sales. And there is NO sense in shopping on Friday. The big sales are over. All the big huge sales start on Thursday and if you want the crap that goes on sale at 6 on THANKSGIVING day you have to be in line that morning so people give up their holiday to stand in line for junk that the people they buy it for doesn't even want.

I have worked retail and hear what people say and they just get something so the person has something to open.  Just anything.

I don't have that many people to buy for this year.  I will most likely just order from Amazon. Or get stuff at Walmart.

I try to steer clear of the Black Friday crowds. It seems to bring out the worst in people. So I'll stick to shopping online instead.

I will do what I can online.  I don't like the crowds.  I have a couple of sisters that always brave the crowds and I will send a list with them.
Have a wonderful day!

I did it a few years back when my girls where teens, we were short on $$ and I saved for months to be able to get them what they wanted for Christmas, and I really got great deals that ear, even my girls, who knew that $$ was really hard to come by were surprise on how much I got for them.  But now they adults and I don't need to worry much for it, I will do some shopping online and go to the mall a week day for the rest of the stuff

I don't go to Black Friday.  Mostly I get concerned about insane driving.  People can get very aggressive.

I don't normally unless I really need something but my friend is coming to town and I'm taking her to Ross because she loves it and there's no Ross where she lives now.

I did last year, but not this year.  I can't handle all the walking and the crowds.  I have arthritis in my knees so last year I was in a lot of pain.

Having worked a lot of Black Fridays I would never  go  to them to shop.  I always ended up with  back and blue spots because of the idiots  slinging and pushing stomping on your feet and others shoving you  all over the place.  I was knocked down and then stepped on. No one offered to help me back up. When I went to get up I stepped on like I was nothing. So  so nope, not even will I ever go shopping for Black Friday. I feel so sorry for the clerks who having to work.   A lot of the people  who go are so rude.

I feel the same way as most of you. Going to the retail
Stores and dealing with long lines can be
a little much, although I do miss those good deals, I do not want to get pushed and shoved around, spend a lot if time trying to find a parking space or all the walking.
