1. I'm waiting till January after Holiday sales for the real bargains when the crowds are down
because they don't have any money.

2. I'm waiting on my check and I don't use CC's anyway!
Cash is the way to go! ;) But I doubt I will be buying anything made in China, if I can avoid it.

3. I'm trying to find an older armoir... for the hall way... I'm stopping by
the flea market to try to find my treasure... the antique shops are much too expensive.

4. I tried - they were sold out! I'll get what I'm after, though...
.... even if I have to use cash! :)

6. Pretty much.
I guess only a commie would have stayed home with closed pocketbook on the glorious consumer-fest atrocity known as "Black Friday".

8. Only buying
Only buying cloths and food for our son in college. Restocking the fridge so he doesn't waste away (his mother is the typical mom while she visits him).

10.  I wouldn't shop if there were a gun to my head
I am one who refuses to join in on this american shopping Black Friday insanity . I refuse to buy anything other than the basics for the rest of my life other than guitar strings and clothes from a thrift store .

I get my shoes re-soled since I don't walk on the tops or wear them out getting them stepped on is some black friday stampede .

I still use a vacuum and other appliances that must be 40 years old or more and they still keep going and if one does break there are more in the thrift shops ready to go .

12. I thought the Chinese were Commies. I'm so confused.
In any case, I don't have a credit card, I strongly dislike shopping, and I especially despise crowds. The very idea of going shopping on the day after Thanksgiving is simply too horrible to contemplate.

13. No, I'm not a commie.
I'm a liberal pinko commie peacemonger. Get it right. :evilgrin:

Besides, I do not plan to cause my nieces and nephews to get lead poisoning from Christmas gifts.

15. I'm a deadbeat...
Any purchases I make will be by credit card, which I will pay off next month.
The card we use earns us about $200. worth of free groceries a year.

They don't make a dime on us.
