Flame Dragon Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Ok guys, you are treading a VERY thin line. I suggest you stop. And we all know the day was the invention of demons.

Night Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I usually shop Black Friday every year, mainly because I clothing shop once per season, and said day is strategically placed right before the winter-Christmas season for maximum money grubbing. But like I said, even without Black Friday I'd be shopping, it just so happens to save me a funk ton of money. Didn't go to stores this year because all of the stores I'd normally shop at had the same deal both on an off site (Express/Gap 50% everything, and Zara/ASOS 30% off everything). Ended up spending like 900 bucks but I saved like 600 so worth. Most of it's just buying more sweaters and button downs that I don't funking need but I have a problem.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I usually stay home on Black Fridays (or Thursdays), pretty much because people can get very crazy and stores are crowded as hell. Last time I went (a couple years ago at Walmart), some guys kept throwing stuff across the place and ripping open boxes like a bunch of madmen.Mind you, there were a few small kids around and yeah, the store employee told them off for acting like savages. This year, I went, though didn't buy much.Best Buy was crowded as hell though (especially with a lot of guys buying 5 or so 50-something televisions at a time). I wanted to buy Naruto: The Last on DVD, but it appeared that I was too late for it. Wal-Mart had nothing I wanted, but at least it wasn't as bad (probably helped that I went around 7-8 pm, as opposed to midnight).That, and since the last time, new Walmarts opened. -----Then again, a little bit of online shopping but not too much.There was a sale at Office Depot when I went (16GB flash drives for $5, as opposed to around 15 or something); should've got one while I had a chance. As for Cyber Monday, don't think I'll buy anything.(I doubt that plush I want on Amazon will be discounted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I, too, got paid on Friday. But was at work. Probably will get some stuff online though.Fair, I just couldn't be asked to go out tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 The Black Friday videos of shoppers fighting each other are always nuts. I saw some woman rip something out of a child's hands this year (what's his mom doing bringing him into that frenzy anyways).I was in NY this past Friday, but ironically spent nothing. But I went two weeks before and bought a bunch of things.Timing's everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethera Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I was in Best Buy Thanksgiving night and it was packed. I didn't buy anything (I was dragged along with people) but there were carts everywhere, blocking the way, and it was annoying.None of that tearing and stampeding though. Just a lot of people talking at once and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I agree, seeing people fight over bargains on Black Friday is always crazy. I remember my cousin saying that someone got punched in House of Fraser on Black Friday once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I was in NY this past Friday, but ironically spent nothing. But I went two weeks before and bought a bunch of things. I'm curious, what can you buy here that you can't buy elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 I'm curious, what can you buy here that you can't buy elsewhere?Late, but it's not so much that as it is a convenience thing with all sorts of shops everywhere in Midtown. And I love window shopping since I'm terrible at getting gifts for people, so I scrounge around for what looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 NYC also has some AMAZING holiday displays. A lot of people love to check them out if they are in the city during December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
