Black Friday

[Mango]

So, Mango, what's the game plan? Are you set? There's less than 48 hours to go!

Mermy, we have downloaded the store ad scans from BFADS.com and the meeting is tomorrow night. There have been a few conference calls in the meantime. :funn: I still have to go up in the attic and get the pointer, maps, and break out the Santa hat and reindeer headgear.

MANGO you are my hero!!!!!!!!!! that sounds amazing ! good luck and happy shopping...........thanks for the link, I had no idea that was available:clap_1:

Thanks Your welcome.

Mango, I was thinking about all the Black Friday ads. It takes me about an hour to read the paper on Thanksgiving morning!

The weather is absolutely beautiful here today so if it holds, it'll be a great shopping weekend.

We didn't download them all, just Target, Kohls and KB toys. I do not venture to go anywhere near Toy's r us on BF.

There was an ad on the TV ten minutes ago that said Kohls was opening at--get this--5 am!!!!! I don't normally use this expression but I will now: WTF!!!!

OMG, Mermy used the f word?
Reread the memo gullfriend. We leave at 4:30 am.
Kohl's has toys set up (they normally do not have a toy dept. but do on Black Friday) every toy is 50% off.

We basically are sleepwalking, and laughing very hard. :funn:
I just wanted to add that our favorite part around 9:30 am when we are finished is we go to the mall, and take turns running in with a doorbuster gift toy for Toys for Tots before we head home. They usually on the ground floor of the mall.

I made the vow a few years ago to never go back to a mall or big box store around Christmas. Talk about spoiling the holiday mood! All my seasonal $$$ goes to indy shops and online merchants. This approach reduces the amount of seasonal stress and therefore makes it more enjoyable. But if you like fighting over 'stuff' at 0500, have funn

Skunky, we avoid stores that have large crowds. We have been doing this for years, and we never have seen an argument or any fighting. The store staff have been pleasant and helpful. We do not go to large malls or anything.
If it was stressful, we wouldn't do it.
Matter of fact, I do the bulk of my shopping on-line and come home with very little. I mainly get toys for my nephews and for charity.
Of course we get some good deals, but it has become a tradition with my sisters and close friends and we look forward to having funn.

I personally don't think it's fair to night owls (like moi) that stores open at 5 am. I say equal billing! If you're going to open up at ungodly hour for the early birds, do us a favor, too. Like how about staying open 'til 2 am? Now that's a sale I'd sink my teeth into! ;-)

You're right. It's discrimination. I say we start a class action night owl law suit. Currently I am forced to lay out my clothes the night before because God only knows what I would wind up wearing when I get up at 4 am.
