Some things are sacred to me and that day is one of them. And really, I try to avoid shops to the extent possible during the whole Christmas season, I just hate it. If I really need to shop, I do it as quickly as possible after having done pre-shopping online so I can just run in, grab what I need, and get the hell out of Dodge... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1205247 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 17:00:10 +0000 Ree723 1205247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I HATE that shops are now open on Thanksgiving! It absolutely disgusts me at the lengths greedy corporations go to so I will never shop on thanksgiving day, regardless of how good of a bargain it is. </p> <p>Black Friday stresses me out so it's cyber Monday for the win! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1205046 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 15:06:57 +0000 Mae 1205046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually really enjoy black friday shopping. I think the crowds and the decoration are fun :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1205026 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 15:00:01 +0000 MrsBrewer 1205026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well...I guess I'm the loner that said I would shop on TG. I voted that because if there was a big ticket item that I really wanted, and it went on sale like TG night, you bet your butt I would be there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204988 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:39:05 +0000 cmomma17 1204988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH is in retail and he usually is heading back to work around 8 pm on Thanksgiving. We haven't found out yet what time they are opening this year :(</p> <p>I stay home and miss him! I'd rather lay around all fat and happy and eat leftovers than go shopping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204980 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:35:57 +0000 bpcmarj 1204980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do plan on keeping my eyes peeled for Black Friday deals, but I will not be leaving the house on Thanksgiving Day. I am hopeful that there will be something on cyber monday that will be just as good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204876 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:02:57 +0000 shinymama 1204876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did the Black Friday thing once and never again. The best part - and by that, I mean worst - was that closer to Christmas I found the same prices on a lot of what I purchased. Fail.</p> <p>@lovehoneybee: Thumbs up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204865 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 13:59:27 +0000 lovehoneybee 1204865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. There is nothing I want enough to deal do that. I also don't do Black Friday (I imagine I'd have a panic attack...). I'm all about Cyber Monday, though. Shopping from the convenience of my couch? Yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204864 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 13:59:07 +0000 KT326 1204864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worked in retail for many years, I will never shop on black friday! I can't handle the crowds and the lines and the pushing and shoving. Cyber Monday FTW! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204848 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 13:54:37 +0000 swurlygurl 1204848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't handle the crazy, so I will definitely wait until Cyber Monday :)</p> <p>I KNOW this doesn't apply to everyone who has to work on Thanksgiving, but I know quite a few people who don't have anyone they can (or want to) spend the day with, so they are happy to make extra money by working on Thanksgiving and/or Christmas. BUT, I know there *are* people who are forced to work those days, and it is totally unfair to them :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204795 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 13:38:25 +0000 blackbird 1204795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shop online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204515 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 12:14:23 +0000 Mrs. J 1204515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: *This* exactly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204432 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 11:49:14 +0000 Bookish 1204432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I won't ever shop on Thanksgiving.

I hate those kinds of crowds, but I also think it's really sad that some people don't get to spend time with family on a holiday meant to give thanks because people just want stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204367 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 11:24:03 +0000 IRunForFun 1204367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I checked "other" for Cyber Monday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204364 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 11:23:14 +0000 bunnylove08 1204364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a cyber monday kind of girl </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204362 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 11:22:13 +0000 MoonMoon 1204362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate the idea of retail employees being forced to work on Thanksgiving. Even if they aren't forced, it's a bad precedent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204355 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 11:19:18 +0000 yin 1204355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most stores have the same deals available online on thanksgiving day. I prefer online. I used to love Black Friday shopping for the fun of experiencing it. With a family that's impossible. My priorities are to get sleep and spend time with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204335 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 11:11:02 +0000 kiddosc 1204335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will never shop on Thanksgiving day, I think it is so unfair to the workers. I hardly ever shop on Black Friday either, the stress of the crowds generally isn't worth it. Cyber Monday for the win! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204331 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 11:09:33 +0000 HLK208 1204331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will never shop on Thanksgiving.

I just think it is gotten too far. It is Black FRIDAY! not Thursday. I hate it for the workers, who have to help crazy shoppers verses spending the day with family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204318 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 11:06:34 +0000 regberadaisy 1204318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way, I do not step foot in a store on Thanksgiving or black Friday unless I'm saving a. Minimum of $500 on a big ticket item. And besides I've found that I can find just as good deals year round. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204301 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 10:59:56 +0000 lemondrop 1204301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't do Black Friday (ok, maybe a Target run LATE in the day since the one next to my house is small and not crowded) and absolutely no way would I shop on TG. That day is reserved for family only. Deals aren't that important to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204293 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 10:57:48 +0000 lilyann 1204293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just doesn't feel right shopping on Thanksgiving day... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204291 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 10:57:25 +0000 mediagirl 1204291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: YES cyber Monday!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204289 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 10:55:42 +0000 Mamaof2 1204289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The deals are great but I cant stand the stress of it all - finding parking, waiting in line - no thanks!</p> <p>Now....cyber Monday - I LOVE!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-11#post-1204287 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 10:54:19 +0000 mediagirl 1204287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shop on Thanksgiving or spend a little more and shop any other day of the year? </p>
