So Who Was A Black Friday Whore.....

[rsmith6621]

......Today...

............I was only because I start a new job on Monday and needed some new clothes to start with(first impressions)....IMO the stores put out their leftover CRAP for sale and are holding the good stuff in the back for after the weekend and it seems again the prices were over inflated then cut back to regular prices to give the illusion......I expected that.

1. We went out this morning

Sorry if that makes us enemies of the people and all, but we went shopping.

[gatorboy]

8. YOU!.......

[poiuytsister]

18. Ooh Me Me!

My best friend and have birthdays Nov 18 and 19, and retail therapy is # 1 for both of us, so a shopping day is our present to each other. Hey, we don't do drugs, gamble or contribute to the republican party.
So there.

[iamthebandfanman]

23. hey, i woulda rathered u done the drugs

but not the contributing to republicans part ;)

2. I was

because I enjoy it.

[la la]

12. some people REALLY do enjoy that!

I have no clue why, though!111!!11 seriesly!11!!

our son in law's mother and sister do it, as a family tradition--even the son-in law went with them some years---

here's the drill---Thanksgiving dinner at their house, hurry up and eat and hurry up and clean up---and GET OUT THE ADS!1111!!----plan for their shopping day--this year starting at 4 am.....

NOTHING is that important to me! ;>) but, ya know--to repeat--some people DO like it!

:freak:

21. I am normally a very antisocial person

But once a year, I get a kick out of being in a mass of humanity. and it's still a low-connection event. Very impersonal, enough for me to avoid real human contact (something I generally loathe).

So as long as my wife and I get a parking space in less than an hour, I'm generally happy to do it.

[DesertRat]

3. I did some online shopping

A lot of stores are having great online deals with free shipping today. :)

[demnan]

4. I didn't but that's because I had other things to do

If people want to spend money on Christmas, I think that is ok. I don't think we will win people over by denying them one of the few joys they have in life. I think we better learn to educate without judging.

5. Recommended reply!

With knowledge comes progress. Which is why the Repubs/corporatists like the people ignorant.

[xchrom]

6. well -- i'm always a whore --

black friday is no different.

[Catherine Vincent]

7. LOL!

[NYVet]

9. I am a post Christmas whore.

Everyone in my family gets a crisp 20 for Christmas. I tell them to go to the mall or a store and get what they want.






And no, none of you mooches are allowed to be adopted into my family.
B-)

[Kahuna]

24. A crisp 20???

What a guy! :rofl:

[AZ Criminal JD]

31. I don't think you have to worry about anyone wanting to be

adopted in your family.

[Ishoutandscream2]

10. My wife. A good liberal, until this time of year

Buys way too much food, and shops till she drops early on "Black Friday." Buys way too many gifts for my kids that they may only play with once or twice. She really goes overboard. I can't talk to her about this, however. She really gets a kick out of this. It wears me out, however.

[truedelphi]

13. Sounds like a worthy enough goal.

I live in a casino-economy based area of the world - and this seems like a very mild character flaw.

If it is even a flaw.

[Ishoutandscream2]

27. Well, we end up getting rid of a lot of that food

It's so wasteful, but yeah, if that's all I have to complain about, then I'm pretty lucky.

[rox63]

11. My fridge died, so I went and bought a new fridge

I don't think that makes me a shopping whore, though. :shrug:

[AzDar]

15. Oh...SURE it does! A Whore of Babylon..or Maytag...or Kenmore....

:rofl:

[kickysnana]

14. First time in a long time but...

I needed an emergency boost starter and they had them for 1/3 of the lowest sale price I had seen the last month :bounce: and then they had the Hickory Farms my Aunt always gives out for $5 less than the lowest price I saw last year so I got that for her at the same store. It costs $45 to get a jump start each time and when the temperature drops below zero :scared: sometimes the battery needs a little help. :shrug:

Guess I will have to spend some time in DU pergatory, huh?

[DS1]

16. I hit CompUSA

and bought a 9.99 Northbridge cooler.

I needed it. It was 2 pm.

[hlthe2b]

17. broken toilet lever... had to walk to neighborhood Ace Hardware

I don't think that counts, does it? It was a necessity.

[LiberalEsto]

19. Bought puppy pads at PetSmart

My 21-year-old daughter is trying to housebreak her new puppy and not doing that well. Also got her a DVD on housetraining dogs. This was not X-mess shopping, but more or less an emergency. It has been a messy Thanksgiving break.

[complain jane]

20. I surfed the web, ate a bag of croutons.

[porphyrian]

22. I bought a drink and some chips at a convenience store, but I was a whore before today.

I don't do shame manipulation.

[Faux pas]

25. Only because I have to use a hair pick to gerry rig my

washing machine to go into the spin cycle, I bought a new washer....sorry I'm a much-needed-new-appliance whore.

[peacefreak]

26. If you're looking for Black Friday Whores,

I must be the pimp. Spent way too long behind a cash register today. I'm tired, cranky & looking for supper. Then it's hot bath & cold scotch!

[Kajsa]

28. I was---

-Work tops for $6.00
-Work pants for $15.00

and lots of other good deals
( presents)
under $20.00

-free breakfast at IKEA

with a limited income, this
was within my budget.

I didn't hit ONE crazy mall,
though. I shopped within my city.

[AnnieBW]

29. I went shopping today...

to buy a hair dryer. Mine died yesterday. I was dreading going into Target to fight the Black Friday crowds just to get a blow drier. Then I remembered that CVS sells them, too. CVS was practically empty. I was in and out of there in 10 minutes.

I also went to the Amish Market, but they're normally open on Friday and were having a very slow day. And I put a deposit down on our new front door at Lowe's but we'd already picked it out. So, yeah, I did technically go "shopping" today.

[NeedleCast]

30. I did some shopping

but I didn't get out there until about 11:00 AM.

I think that means I'm just a tease.

[WolverineDG]

32. I did!

My cousin & I headed out about 10 to see what was left. Crowds weren't too bad mid-morning.

33. I drove 700 miles home today...

I bought a coupla venti Starbucks and a couple of muffins plus a tank of gas. Best I could do.

[JerseygirlCT]

34. My kid needed a coat and some pants.

His winter coat zipper broke, and it's getting pretty cold. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.

But I avoided the crowds, hit two places, made it home in less than an hour... Not too bad!

[Arkana]

35. I was...

but only to get snow tires for my car.

Bastards at Town Fair Tire kept me waiting almost three goddamn hours.

[K8-EEE]

36. I bought the coolest 1970's Evan Piccone suit at Salvation Army last week!

Seriously the crap they have in the malls these days doesn't even tempt me....all made in China crap. Classic stuff really IS classic! I should take a picture of it and post it here, it's really NICE!

[Mutineer]

37. I did some online shopping

Some of the same "black Friday" deals were available online, plus I scored free shipping on a couple of items. I have people to buy for and if I can get a deal, I'm going for it, critics be damned.
