BIC's 2022 Countdown to Black Friday and Cyber Monday Thread

[greeneyedgirl107]

It's that time of year again - when we are encouraged to shop!  Big sales, GWP, and points.  They're all advertised for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.  This is a place to share your enthusiasm, tips, goals and anything else.

11/16: Which do you prefer: Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

11/17: What kinds of items do you hope will be on sale?

11/18: What will you be shopping for?  Beauty, electronics, fashion...?

11/19: Best Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals you ever got?

11/20: What stores/brands are on your radar?

11/21: Have you put off any purchases specifically for this time of year?

11/22: Did you shop any early Black Friday sales?

11/23: Do you think the sales are all they're made out to be?

11/24: What do you think of brick and mortar stores being open on Thanksgiving?

11/25: BLACK FRIDAY: Will you be hitting the stores, or shopping online?

11/26: Do you prefer to shop for yourself or others?

11/27: How early did you start your holiday shopping?  (And how long do you think you'll continue to do your holiday shopping?)

11/28: CYBER MONDAY: Let's do some math: how many websites did you visit?  How many purchases did you make?  How many packages do you think will be coming to your house?

11/29: Did you miss out on anything?  Any regrets?  What things are still on your list?

11/19: Best Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals you ever got? Nu Face had a Black Friday sale on their site.  A small shop called Rad Rev has amazing sales on her bags.

Nov. 16: When it was truly Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping (instead of 8 weeks of rotating deals leading up to Christmas in various forms and capacities), I thought the Cyber Monday deals were better and easier to shop. 

Nov. 17: My boyfriend really wants a Roomba for the house, so we’ll be looking for one of those haha. 

Nov. 18: The Roomba, I always enjoy adding to my book and board game collection, if there are some great skin care deals I may get something. I still have no clue what I’m doing gift wise for people yet other than the Secret Santa at work! 

Nov. 19: I don’t remember any specific deals from the past! I think Old Navy did like 60% off one year though.

11/16: Which do you prefer: Black Friday or Cyber Monday?. It's become one big month-long sale with no differentiation so it doesn't really matter.

11/17: What kinds of items do you hope will be on sale?. I don't have any expectations. 

11/18: What will you be shopping for?  Beauty, electronics, fashion...?. Clothes and beauty items.  Although I could use a new food processor, but it's not a must have.

11/18: What will you be shopping for?  Beauty, electronics, fashion...?  I have already started shopping for friends and family so hopefully won't need anymore things.

11/16: Which do you prefer: Black Friday or Cyber Monday?  I don't have an opinion, but there is more hustle and bustle around Black Friday so I guess I prefer that.  My strategy is to get what I can on Black Friday sales (online!), then use Cyber Monday for the leftovers.  

11/17: What kinds of items do you hope will be on sale?  Usually it's clothing, but I haven't seen any styles that I'm drawn to this year.  I need to update my jeans and boots, but I just haven't had the time to do the proper shopping.  My least favorite things to shop for are pants do length issues and then finding shoes to go for the proper lengths of pants.  Of course beauty items are key, but I guess that goes without saying on here!  I used to like the little $10 sets Sephora would sell on BF, but none of them have been appealing to me lately.

you always think of the most interesting thread ideas @greeneyedgirl107 !

11/16: Which do you prefer: Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

cyber Monday - my family never really did the Black Friday thing and you can basically get the same deals online now. 

11/17: What kinds of items do you hope will be on sale?

i really need a new wool/peacoat. Mine is looking like it’s seen better days but I haven’t really seen any I like yet. But perhaps during the sales something will look good, though many brands have already started their sales
