Online is so much easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963887 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 15:28:03 +0000 wonderstruck 1963887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I spent 7 years getting cussed out by customers over doorbuster TVs. Now that I don't have to work it I enjoy staying home and relaxing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963878 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 15:16:42 +0000 travellingbee 1963878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - just a few stores and it wasn't crowded at all. Wished I had more time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963874 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 15:05:27 +0000 Oliviapope 1963874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only online - hoping Cyber Monday brings some good deals too - hoping to get some christmas shopping done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963864 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 14:46:33 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1963864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did some online shopping, and only stopped in at two restaurants to get some awesome giftcard deals. Neither had a line, and both were on our way to other things- otherwise, I probably would have skipped them.<br /> Purchases:<br /> great deals on giftcards to grocery store, Chipotle, 3 other restaurants we regularly frequent, and Lowes (we have a huge renovation ahead)<br /> Timbuk2 messenger bag and wallet<br /> tons of shirts from Gap (some will end up being returned)<br /> 2 shapewear tanks<br /> several new sweaters for work<br /> cowboy boots<br /> a chandelier I have had my eye on for several years- I didn't even plan on buying it, but it was WAY cheaper than the best deal I had seen previously. I was planning on getting it within the next 6 months, and it works out great since it is backordered for 2 months. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963855 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 14:21:52 +0000 yin 1963855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went grocery shopping. ;) </p> <p>I was looking for Patagonia jackets for myself and DH, and I found them online for 30% off plus 10% back through ebates. We're pretty excited for them to come in the mail next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963849 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 14:14:03 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1963849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a couple of rugs online. I'm hoping they look nice in person! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963845 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 14:11:41 +0000 alohaorchid 1963845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't go yestersay but I did go out this morning. I got a bunch of shopping but the only thing I got on sale was some chocolates for my grandparents and a pair of leather leggings for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963769 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 11:48:12 +0000 Lindsay05 1963769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: safety 1st convertibles. We have been looking for some so couldn't beat that price! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963765 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 11:40:47 +0000 Pancakes 1963765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just went to Hallmark, Home Depot, Target, and Michael's, later in the morning. Mostly just needed to pick up some regular items (diapers, wrapping paper). I did get some great deals online though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963757 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 11:24:14 +0000 MrsSCB 1963757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of? We forgot it was Black Friday and went to target. It wasn't too crowded, though, and there were some good sales. 40 percent off all apparel so I bought a couple things. I bought a light coat, and of course today it's supposed to be close to 80, lol. No way I'd go to the mall near us though -- that place is a zoo on a normal day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963754 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 11:09:18 +0000 Bao 1963754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: woah, nice! What kind? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963750 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 11:01:32 +0000 Astro Bee 1963750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The two years that I lived in NY, I drove back home to Canada for the long weekend, and was always struck by the massive lines at the border. Now that I live in Ontario again, I find it's not worth it for the questionable deals and crowds, even though more and more stores here are doing Black Friday sales. I feel the same for Boxing Day (Dec 26th), our big sale day of the year. My sanity and personal well-being is worth much more to me than $50 off something I probably didn't really need anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963744 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 10:52:37 +0000 Lindsay05 1963744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did but not really on purpose! Found 2 new car seats for 45.00 each! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963736 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 10:38:51 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1963736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to do Target, Home Depot, old navy, and a couple other stores every year, but haven't gone since we had Liam. We would never go super early, around 7, and it wouldn't be too crowded. It was fun! This year I just bought a few things online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963732 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 10:30:50 +0000 MrsTiz 1963732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went out around lunchtime on Friday and got all of LOs gifts plus a purse for MIL. We didn't get that great of deals, but at least got a big chunk of shopping done. My mom went out thanksgiving night and got some pretty awesome stuff for cheap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963722 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 10:18:54 +0000 erwoo 1963722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same here. Never been brave enough to go. Plus, I value my sleep, especially after having kids. Now that we live overseas there's no black friday here so I just look to see what's online. Still pretty exciting if you ask me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963710 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 09:56:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1963710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! The outlet malls here ooemed at 6pm- which I think is a little ridiculous TBH. Back when I worked retail, I worked at 10pm, and I didn't mind that. Anyway... So we stopped by the mall for a couple hours after our family get together and yeah it was busy but living where we live in MN means that it doesn't get nearly as busy here as in many parts of the country. I also went to target and did some shopping online. A lot of my Christmas shopping is nearly done!</p> <p>I'm most excited about these. I haven't had shoes that are good for the cold and snow since I was a kid, and these were 50% off </p> [attach=1597/14/nft2ze.488x397.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963700 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 09:48:28 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1963700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to target to get out of the house. It was empty and I didn't see any great deals. I didn't have anything in mind to shop for, but none of their toys were on sale and we weren't looking for any new electronics. I picked up a few books and something Frozen, then grabbed coffee and went home. I did the rest of my shopping online! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963698 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 09:45:39 +0000 MrsHoneyC 1963698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /><p><i>This comment has been deleted by the original poster.</i></p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963697 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 09:45:32 +0000 MrsHoneyC 1963697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked up some great finds on zara, they rarely have sales and I love the fit of the pants on my son. Plus I needed another pair of suspender pants in our closet . So adorable. </p> [attach=4917/14/nft2bx.600x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963696 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 09:43:27 +0000 Synchronicity 1963696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did some online shopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963693 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 09:38:55 +0000 lovehoneybee 1963693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually did, for the first time ever, to buy a TV. We went to Best Buy and Target in the early afternoon and had no problem...it was like a busy Saturday but not nuts or anything. I also did a bit of online shopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963675 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 09:00:19 +0000 ElbieKay 1963675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I hate the concept. And I dislike shopping under normal conditions so there is no way I would subject myself to BF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963668 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 08:52:18 +0000 BSB 1963668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to Costco to check prices on something I bought at 9am. Then went to Kohl's to grab a down throw. Parking was easy at both locations but Kohl's had a long line at the registers.</p> <p>Stayed away from the mall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963654 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 08:17:27 +0000 chopsuey 1963654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought some clothes/accessories for the kids and bought a chair for me. All online! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963652 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 08:00:58 +0000 mrsjyw 1963652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not to shop but met a friend there, seemed like a good idea as a place to keep busy w DS. We thankfully found parking right away and it wasn't unmanageable. Bought eyeliner and friend bought duplos for Ds.</p> <p>Shopped online last night for some deals on clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963644 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 06:59:19 +0000 BandDmommy 1963644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shopped online. There were some great deals! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-shopping-on-black-friday#post-1963642 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 06:55:24 +0000 Applesandbananas 1963642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of. We didn't do any camp out or 3am madness, but we went to the mall later in the day, Old Navy, Carter's, and Coach had their entire stores 50% off, so LO got a few sets of pjs, some pants, and a Christmas outfit :) </p>
