    Default Who is shopping on black friday?

    and what are you hoping to get? I'm not planning in shopping on multiple stores on black friday. I just am not seeing anything that I have to have. I'm about done with all of my holiday shopping.

    Two local TRU are opening up only during special hours for Dow employees and I might go there, but otherwise I'm not hitting the stores.

    I havent seen much in the ads. Wal-Mart has a sewing machine that I would like to have. I have to work and hubby is going. The womans jeans and fleece shirts for men are cheap too at wal-mart. Hubby said he will go for it, actually he loves to shop that day and get in with all the hustle and bustle.

    Not shopping. We'll be at my in-laws and we're actually celebrating Thanksgiving that day (so all the family can be together)

    I haven't seen anything in the ads that we just have to go and get yet. I don't think we will be shopping for another reason....we will be going to watch the varisty high school football team play on Friday. Chris has to be at the school by 9am and then they will leave at 9:45 and head to the Baylor Bear stadium (Floyd Casey Stadium) in Waco to play. So needless to say, we will be dedicating the day to football!

    Nope. I am trying really hard to resist going to Joann's, but as of right now, I am not planning to shop on BF.

    I am done with my shopping, so unless an irresistable deal falls down in front of me I will not partake.

    I might venture out -- Circuit City has SD cards for $9.99 and I need two of them for Christmas gifts. They are normally over $30 each-- so that would be quite a savings , IF I can get them.

    I have not seen anything that I really need. So, if I do any shopping, it will be sitting in front of the computer. Not too mention, we too have a football game to go to Friday afternoon. My son's Varsity team is playing in the District Championships.

    GO BARONS GO!!!

    I usually shop Black Friday, but I'm almost finished with my shopping, so I'm gonna pass this year. I've not seen anything in the ads that I need to buy.

    I have to work this year so I won't be going. I looked through the ads to see if there was anything worth trying to convince DH to fight the crowds to purchase but I really did not see any wonderful bargains in any of the ads that I could not live without. I imagine that DH would rather pay full price than have to fight the craziness of BF though .

    I haven't really seen anything that I have to have in the ads this year. Last year, yes I fought the walmart crowd for a few deals but as of right now, I am not going to go out. I am almost finished with my holiday shopping and what I have left I haven't seen any deals on.

    I normally do go with a very good friend.......we make a day of it and have fun!

    No way am I going. Hubby would never ever ever go. He'd rather pay full price like your hubby Kathy.

    I normally don't but this year is ANYTHING but normal

    DD and I are going to a big mall up Rochester way. Only time we could squeeze mother/daughter time in.

    So, yes, for the first time in many many years I will be mall shopping on Black Friday.
