Shop on Thanksgiving or spend a little more and shop any other day of the year?
-
The deals are great but I cant stand the stress of it all - finding parking, waiting in line - no thanks!
Now....cyber Monday - I LOVE!!!!!
-
@Mamaof2: YES cyber Monday!!!
-
Just doesn't feel right shopping on Thanksgiving day...
-
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.
-
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.
-
NO WAY will I shop on Thanksgiving Day. 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.
-
I will never shop on Thanksgiving. I love cyber Monday though!!
-
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!
-
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.
-
I hate the idea of retail employees being forced to work on Thanksgiving. Even if they aren't forced, it's a bad precedent.
-
I'm a cyber monday kind of girl
-
I checked "other" for Cyber Monday!
-
Agreed with everyone who says it's not fair to the people who work in those stores. 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.
-
No not at all. I am never going to prioritize wasting miney on consumer crap over spending time with my family.
-
No, I won't ever shop on Thanksgiving. It's just going too far for my tastes. Cyber Monday FTW!
-
@Smurfette: *This* exactly!
-
Shop online.
-
I can't handle the crazy, so I will definitely wait until Cyber Monday
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
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
@lovehoneybee: Thumbs up!
-
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.
-
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
I stay home and miss him! I'd rather lay around all fat and happy and eat leftovers than go shopping!
-
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!
-
I actually really enjoy black friday shopping. I think the crowds and the decoration are fun
-
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.
Black Friday stresses me out so it's cyber Monday for the win!
-
I will NEVER set foot in a store in Thanksgiving. 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...
