Especially the buy one shoe, get one free deal.

Can you use your credit card?

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

You know it :D

My mailbox in the US should be full by the time I get back from blighty ;)

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

:rofl: Funny.

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

At least you will be getting a pair at the end ;)

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

I'd rather stick needles in my eyes.

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

Someone was asking what BF was.....joking right?

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

It's a made up north american marketing thing designed to get people into the ships. Why would somebody from somewhere else have heard of it?

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

Errrrrmmm....because of the news it creates a day after, like pepper-spray fights at wal-mart? Additionally, the power of the internet

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

Yes me! Had I not been in Canada on a bargain hunting trail for a fixed period...it might seem like a bit of a coded message...hence why I asked....I am now enlightened so you can carry on with your quest one companion lighter! You don't get to know about it unless you ask. Best of luck.

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

The news it creates after in *gasp* north america. Shopping sales in north america aren't really of interest to people who don't live there so, understandably, they don't spend time researching them on the internet.

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

I've lived here 8 years and don't know what it is, and frankly couldn't GAS about it either.

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

Boring F***up, right?

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

NO, As I mentioned before I wasn't joking...nor do I feel lots of people are...this is an evidently unknown private celebration, for certain parts of our forum....prior to asking the question on here, I polled my husband on the telephone and all of our neighbours and we were all in the dark. I fear we may not be missing something, but do let us know, a few posts on, if this is not the case.

Fredricton is it? Hmmmmm

This is the kind of thing you could be missing

Oh eek, many thanks Auld Yin...I may have to be having a duvet day then, I'm not woman enough for that.

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

They are not all like that ;)

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

Black Friday is the way Americans get into the Spirit of Christmas.:nod:

Obviously, channeling the urge to spend money you haven't got on things you don't really need and punch, kick and trample your fellow man to get to them first is what you do to really get in the Christmas mood.

Sadly, some Canadians are also irresistably drawn to this appalling display of consumerist greed and base human nature.

MillieF and friends aren't missing anything at all.

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

What about those that simply wish to buy presents for their children, their family, their friends at a lower price? Not all camp out all night beforehand;)

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

There are other ways to get bargains.

I am probably going to be pilloried here for saying so, but Christmas isn't supposed to be about buying stuff for people!

By supporting these kinds of consumer events, people are just perpetuating the mistaken idea that their life can be better with more stuff and that they can make other people happier by buying them more stuff.

Anyone who ignores Black Friday won't miss it.

Anyway, like most of these consumer-hype things, they are already getting greedy and lengthening the time of the event and before long, the bargains to be had will be minimal and not worth all the fuss.

Shopping is hugely over-rated and is not the key to happiness.

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

I made no mention of Christmas:p

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

Learn to knit.

That will provide some cosy, inexpensive, lovingly hand-crafted gifts for your loved ones, whatever the occasion or time of year.

It will also give you something to do with your hands and keep you out of mischief.:p

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

Aha!
Here is a GREAT Black Friday bargain!

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/ref=...SIN=B004HKCGQK

I have no idea what the Hell it does, but you plug it in and it is 67% off, so I must need it, mustn't I?

And as it is on Amazon, there is not even any need to get up in the middle of the night and scuffle with the great unwashed on the threshold of Walmart!:thumbup:

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

It's the cousin of the Drimel tool :D

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

Very nice of SEARS

https://www.cfpsa.com/en/SupportOurT...s/OP-Wish.aspx

I'll like to see more discounts to us folks, in the US they have tons of free entries and discounts for the mil pers, even took advantage of this when we went to Disney last year and in Chicago. I also have a discount card for the UK that allows me and the family to receive discounts at various stores

Don't get me wrong, a few places in Canada do, but it's not on the same scale as in other countries.

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

I don't understand your issue with this at all. You don't need it so you don't buy it.

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

I see that my humour isn't gelling with you.
Never mind.
:focus:

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

There seems to be some of that going on lately round here, may be it's to do with the Winter season?

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

SAD?:p

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

and all this the day after being thankful for all that you have by eating as much as you can. Only in America! :nod::rolleyes:

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

Black Friday is even more fun if you're in retail and have to spend the day listening to people bemoaning the lack of deals compared with the US and then trying to haggle with you over the price of everything.

Black Friday over here really just gives people more of an excuse to act like tools

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

They don't need an excuse this time of year to act like tools:thumbdown: I'm gonna get a lot of why haven't you got my size. Our black friday stuff started yesterday at work, it's nuts.

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

We picked up a new washer/dryer set and a new freezer for our new house. It was great;)

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

Very true indeed. Retail sucks this time of year! (actually I'm not a great lover it the rest of the year either lol)

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

Whats the point i cant see any deals that i wouldnt see on any other Friday flyer:confused:

Re: It's that time of the year again...Black Friday
 

Did anyone take her up on this? Knitting instead of spending money?

I'd like one of these, PLEASE :rofl:
