I don't care if I have to wait for 75 people to get their fabric cut before it is my turn again! maybe by then she will have gone to lunch, break, or home! lol

At the super JoAnn's -- it's very large, unfriendly, can't find anything, unfriendly, stand in long lines to get anything cut, stand in even longer lines to pay, and oh, did I mention that the people who work there aren't very friendly??? BUT in their defense -- they are so short handed that they might only have one lady cutting during a big sale. Doesn't make me any happier but does explain their lack of friendliness and long lines....so I just stay home and shop online.... (and not at JoAnns.com) :D

I really don't like shopping either, I will send my husband to the store if at all possible! BUT I hate paying retail price even more than I hate shopping! lol
The only way I buy groceries is if they are on sale, I have a coupon, or if I just can't live without it! Since the only local place to shop we have is walmart I use cop ads from all the not so local grocery stores and get the name brand cheaper than the walmart brand most of the time!
I do go all out on meat though. I buy from a local butcher!

Three years ago my DD bought my Brother sewing machine on line on Black Friday. It was a bottom of the line sewing machine but it still sews like a dream. I will always love that machine because it started my quilting adventure.

Blackfriday is my favorite shopping day of the year. Not much of a shopper, but my Mom, sister and I used to go every year of as long as I can remember. After I lost my mom I didn't go for a few years. My sister and I went last year and plan on going again this year. I can't wait until my DD's are old enough to go:)
Joanns usually has good sales in my area as well as AC Moore.

I usually work the day after Thanksgiving. Several years ago my friend and I agreed to meet at the mall after I got off work. Although we "missed out" on the 6 a.m. bargains (I didn't want them anyway, and there are usually only a few in stock), we were very surprised to find the mall nearly empty, as the early shoppers were exhausted and at home. And most of the sales went all day long, so we had a great time and scooped up enough bargains to make us happy. I still don't usually shop that day, but if I do, I don't go until late afternoon.

I went out shopping on Black Friday once. It was a crazy marathon with a friend of mine. We left home at 5am and didn't get back until 8pm. That was way more shopping than I needed. The crowds were crazy!!!!!
Now I Black Friday shop online. Many sites have great sales and I don't have to get dressed!!!
