Shopping on Thanksgiving or Black Friday?

Either online or in the stores?

 

If the choices were 

yes

no

undecided 

 

I would answer no. 

 

Do you plan on shopping?

Online - for sure, if there are still gifts I need to get.

 

In the stores? No. I don't need to b&m shop that bad to fight those crowds those days.

I've never done any of that.  I have a friend who used to do it with her mom.  My son-in-law has gotten some amazing deals doing that, mostly now though he does it on line.

NO!

We will be busy decorating our home and spending quality time together.

I don't understand why stores are opening Thanksgiving Eve.....it's about being Thankful for our blessings.

Online, if at all.

No shopping in a store for me on Thanksgiving Day.  Online?  Who knows. 

 

Definitely shopping on Black Friday. My sister and I have made a day of it for years and years. In fact, I called and made our lunch reservations today because the restaurant we go to for lunch on Black Friday gets really crowded. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I went to stores two times.

 

The last time, I had to go back to exchange something.  All the stuff that I waited for in the cold was still in the store and the prices were not bad.  Never again!  Not worth it at all for me.  Plus I feel bad for the people that have to work it.

 

On Line shopping is much better. PJs & coffee. 

 

I'm pretty much done and most of that is wrapped already.

Oh goodness NO!

I have not gone to the store on the Black Friday Weekend for years! There is Nothing I need that can't wait!

 

Learned a few years ago that OVC's programming that weekend had ZERO in the way of bargains.

 

I may hit some on-line sites to get free wrapping or free shipping!

Maybe shopping online but the only store I might go to on Thanksgiving day would be the grocery for the one crucial recipe item I forgot in spite of my best efforts.

I can't swear I won't shop online, but I won't be going to the stores. It will be a pleasure to stay home and decorate. When I worked , it was in a hospital, so being home for the holidays is a treat. I can shop anytime.
