Black Friday

[Rikter8]

Who's venturing out into the maddness today?

Thanksigivng Day, at 6AM I wandered up to Meijers (Grocer super store) and it was absolutely INSANE.

The parking lot was maxed out. I parked in the semi trailer parking lot behind and walked around.
People were swarming electronics and snatching up 32" TV's for high $200's.

What's your plan?

 

[B_JasonDawgxxx]

Oh those horrid crowds . No thanks. My ass is sleeping in than going for a swim.

 

[MASSIVEPKGO_CHUCK]

I'm working in it; I work in retail, remember?? which reminds me- I need some ADVIL.

I saw the Ads is last Sundays paper and was disappointed. I have a feeling there will be many good bargains in early January.

 

[silvertriumph2]

Nope....will visit non-sale places today....

 

[nudeyorker]

Hung over...staying home and moderating!

 

[D_Martin van Burden]

I'm not sure. DJG has to work. I was originally planning on drive home today, but then I figured traffic would be horrible all day today. Maybe we'll brave some of the crowds, but we're certainly not doing any doorbuster sales.

Everyday is a Black day for me

Couldn't pay me to get out in that mess, plus I'm broke.:frown1:

 

[D_Marazion Analdouche]

I'm putting up the sandbags and hunkering down until this weekend is over. The lunatics are out today, it's madness I tell you, MADNESS!

 

[tgw]

Gotta work today. But wouldn't get into that mess even if I could.

 

[Sirius Black]

Gary Oldman?

Sirius Black!

Black friday's every friday for me too. I'm surprised I don't get a constant discount, tho.

In all seriousness, I have to work since I'm in retail so to speak. However, I had entertained the thought of getting up at three to go queue up in front of my favorite store to get in on their 50% off sale that started at 5a this morning.


Then I woke up at 6a and figured I missed out.

I went out and bought a venti Pike's Place coffee at Starbucks at 8:30am. Does that count for anything?

 

[D_Jared Padalicki]

We don't have black friday, so I go too college

Wow! I’m the first yes vote? I wouldn’t miss the fun for anything. We always have a great time and I’m looking forward to next year already!

Regarding the sale ads = you missed the real ones. The sale ads with all of the door buster sales come in the Wednesday before Thanksgiving paper.

Not here in MI anyway...

I watched the online spotter pages such as blackfriday.org, got the sunday before paper, wednesday paper, and emails, and then the thanksgiving paper...and I didnt see what the hoopla was about.

Home Depos "SUper sales" were regular prices when compared against their website.

Walmart had some good deals, but nothing I couldnt already get online for the same price.
Ace hardware had some good deals, as did tractor supply...but that was about it.

I was hoping for bigger sales, or larger percentages off to stimulate the economy...but it didnt happen here. People still bought though.
Which totally baffled my mind.
