Black Friday
 

I avoided black friday today. I didn't spend a dime at any store. I'm not that big of a hurry to go out and get in debt and get hurt over some stupid deal. The last five years I have had no credit card debt and I plan to keep it that way. If I can't pay cash for it I don't need it. As far as I'm concern the only reason stores are opening up earlier each year is caused by the consumer. If the consumer didn't show up then the stores would not open up until friday, we have loss what is really important in our lives, spending time with Family and giving thanks. I'm done ranting.

We didnt participate either but we never do .We buy pretty much everything with our credit card but ALWAYS pay it in full at the end of the month .We shop a little at a time throughout the year rather than wait for this time of year .This year Im not even asking for anything since Ive bougt so much for the truck. I love Christmas time ,just not what it has become.

I avoid Black Friday like the plague. Battle a herd of lunatics to save a couple bucks, no way. Reality is those super deals aren't the best price you'll see. It may be the same price it was selling for a month ago or the price will be even lower before Christmas or after.

Im with you guys...the hell with the SO CALLED sales and all the bullshit that comes with it...They can keep their made in china junk.
Shoping and corporate profit is NOT what this time of year is about.
I did buy another AK parts kit online tho...lol.

dude i am right with you. I have not left the house, only to put up my christmas decor. I refuse to go out this weekend and spend any money because its just helping with the black friday weekend sales. I am so upset and the big store for opening on thanksgiving day to try to get an extra buck. it bothers me so much! but that's just me

You said it all guys. I did not leave the house and have not spend a dime since Wednesday.

Ric, I saw a good deal on pickle forks on Amazon if you need some. Also a super deal on a pop rivet tool if you're in the market.

If they would have had XXXXX for a 1972 Camaro I would be all set.

What is XXXXX Ric? As if we ALL didn't know it that stinking radio again! I give in. Find one and I'll buy it for you for Christmas. Well, maybe not THIS Christmas, but find one anyway.

I will be the bad one in this post.

I did go shopping.

And it was really nice, cause no one was in the grocery store. :) lol

We don't do the crazy Friday shopping, closest that we come to that is going on line to check out prices.

You must be mad, because it is a clock and not the radio..ha I have bigger problems now, Wednesday when I was putting it away for the winter in it's little cove in the garage I hit the engine hoist jack and put a nice dent and scratch in the rear driver quarter. I'm sure that I'll never get the paint to match. Oh well that is what I get for trying to put it in by myself with only about 6 inches for error. But I'm such a good dad so my daughter can park in garage this winter again.

Well, clock and radio have the same number of X's in them, so it was 50-50 for which one you were belly-aching about. Too bad about the scratch. Didn't I give you the paint with the car that I had mixed for the spoiler? I was sure I did, but let me know if I didn't and I'll dig through the box of paint that is in the back room.

That sucks Ric. At least with the cover on you don't even notice it.

Ha I fixed the radio long ago, I do have the paint but I'm not sure enough to paint the whole side. I not a expert but I'm sure it will not blend in without painting the whole side. I will have to have it looked at in the spring.

Hank, unfortunately everytime I walk pass the car I see it in my head and get mad at myself as it is the stupidest thing I've done in a long time....but I'm sure I'll do another stupid thing in the near future to make me forget it for a while.

Ric, what a bummer. I have a small garage and grumpy and I would always tell the kids to be very careful when walking around the car. But every spring a couple of those "Not me" scratches would show up. I always just thought of it as something that gave the car character. Just never makes it any easier to add something else to the "to do" list.
