both lol - definitely feel less guilty spending money on others though haha
11/27: How early did you start your holiday shopping? (And how long do you think you'll continue to do your holiday shopping?)
i started at the beginning of November but mostly got it done over the weekend with all the sales. I think I only have 1 more thing to get
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?
i feel like all the deals already started a few days ago. I placed an Ulta order this morning with their cyber Monday code but I don’t have plans to buy anything else today online
11/26: Do you prefer to shop for yourself or others? I don't have others to shop for.
11/27: How early did you start your holiday shopping? (And how long do you think you'll continue to do your holiday shopping?) I don't have others to shop for.
11/26: Do you prefer to shop for yourself or others? Both
11/27: How early did you start your holiday shopping? (And how long do you think you'll continue to do your holiday shopping?) I am always on a look out all year round.
11/16: Which do you prefer: Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
I used to prefer Black Friday, but I find the sales are starting earlier and earlier, so I tend to do a lot of my shopping (in-person and online) in the week leading up to "official" Black Friday
11/17: What kinds of items do you hope will be on sale?
I have everyone from babies to 90 year olds on my holiday shopping list, so I tend to take advantage of sales across all categories! For my own personal shopping, I like this time of year to buy new board games and puzzles to entertain us through the winter.
11/18: What will you be shopping for? Beauty, electronics, fashion...?
I shop for everything! I'm trying to stay away from fashion/clothing purchases, as I (attempted) a low buy this year, and want to keep that energy up into 2023!
11/19: Best Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals you ever got?
This is a tough one, but I would have to say a winter coat (I got a Mackage for 60% off, whicjh was still expensive but it's a good cost-per-wear item), or probably a small appliance/kitchen gadget. Canadian Tire always has crazy sales for Black Friday in their kitchen department.
11/20: What stores/brands are on your radar?
These are the Black Friday tabs I keep open: Sephora, Lululemon, Aritzia, Hudsons Bay, Canadian Tire, Urban Outfitters, Old Navy/Gap/Banana Republic, SportsCheck, Kit and Ace, Best Buy, Chapters/Indigo and Staples! Staples low-key has great prices on electronics! I always hit up Bath and Bodyworks too, but they don't offer online shopping in Canada.
11/21: Have you put off any purchases specifically for this time of year?
Michaels tends to do a buy one, get one free on holiday decor around this time of year, so I always pick up a few new holiday items just before the season starts 🙂 bonus - their candle selection is really good and SO reasonably priced!
11/22: Did you shop any early Black Friday sales?
Always!
11/23: Do you think the sales are all they're made out to be?
Yes and no. I find a lot of stores have the items for sale well in advance, so there isn't a need to get caught up in the Black Friday/Cyber Monday shipping delays. Some stores do amazing prices, but I've seen a lot that are offering buy one, get one half off, or 20% off regular priced items. Sometimes I don't find the wait to ship and lack of selection worth the hassle of ordering.
11/24: What do you think of brick and mortar stores being open on Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is for family, so I don't love the brick and mortar being open for Thanksgiving. That being said - grocery stores 100% need to be open, even if only for reduced hours. There's always something last minute you need to grab!
11/25: BLACK FRIDAY: Will you be hitting the stores, or shopping online?
Mostly online, but probably both!
11/26: Do you prefer to shop for yourself or others?
Always for others! My family calls me the Christmas queen/Head Elf and it's a responsibility I take VERY seriously hahah. I try to think of ideas all year, so everyone gets thoughtful gifts. I also take advantage of sales to stock up on things like feminine products, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toothpaste, gloves, scarves and children toys, to donate at all the shelters and giving drives that are going on this time of year. I donate things I have in my home as well, but there are some things I just don't have available to donate, so I pick them up at a discount!
11/27: How early did you start your holiday shopping? (And how long do you think you'll continue to do your holiday shopping?)
I normally start my holiday shopping the first week of November, with all of it being done by Cyber Monday! It gives me enough time to receive my orders, and wrap everything 🙂 I don't like to leave things till the last minute in case things go out of stock! I HEAVILY suffer from FOMO hahah
11/18: What will you be shopping for? Beauty, electronics, fashion...?
I'm open to everything!
11/19: Best Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals you ever got?
Nothing comes to mind. I used to like the $10 mini fragrance sets Sephora had sold by companies like NEST.
11/20: What stores/brands are on your radar? Sephora, Ulta, Target, Old Navy.
11/21: Have you put off any purchases specifically for this time of year? I never put off purchases! Although I've nee purposely not buying little things due to general anger at inflation. I bought some headbands full price at Target and was hoping they'd go on sale around this time of year. They did, so I did a re-buy and plan for a return...I also picked up another two.
11/22: Did you shop any early Black Friday sales? We bought a Samsung oven/stove that Costco had features for a pre-Black Friday sale.
11/23: Do you think the sales are all they're made out to be? I guess it depends on what you're in the market for. Historically I haven't been bowled over by the sales.
11/24: What do you think of brick and mortar stores being open on Thanksgiving? Many, many years I bemoaned the stores weren't open. But when they did open I found it a little tasteless. I think it's for the best that they're closed, but I can see both sides of things. I think there's plenty of online shopping to make up for it, though. I also thing stores being closed just makes many apt to shop Black Friday.
11/25: BLACK FRIDAY: Will you be hitting the stores, or shopping online? I got out of work early, and usually when that happens I hit the stores. I didn't have anything else to do today, so I hit a local strip mall. The "highlight" was being a Five Below and having a woman hit her shopping cart right into my ankle. It still kinda hurts. I had moved as far out of her way as possible, but I guess she just had to get through. It's that kind of mentality that irks me. And I'm not sure why one would need a cart at that store. Come to think of it, IDK if I've ever even seen a cart in that store! I had some small things to return to Target and almost braved the store. However, I was afraid that it'd be a nightmare getting out. The line of cars was long just to get in.
I made two Ulta purchases yesterday online, and one at Target online.
Nov. 22: I did actually, I needed to replace my headphones and Target had a bunch on sale.
Nov. 23: Some are really good deals, but I think the bulk of them are pretty meh.
Nov. 24: It seems fewer and fewer of them are open on Thanksgiving now, I think the couple of years it was “trendy” prompted so much criticism, then during Covid thing were shut down anyway. Returning to the “old ways” with that was easy to do when stuff started opening back up.
Nov. 25: We might stop at a few stores, and I might place some online orders if I see anything I like. I’m traveling until tomorrow though, and I don’t generally tend to like trying to back a bunch of new stuff haha.
11/22: Did you shop any early Black Friday sales? Yes.
11/23: Do you think the sales are all they're made out to be? Most of them.
11/24: What do you think of brick and mortar stores being open on Thanksgiving? I don't agree. Stores should be closed for the day and employees given paid time off. I realize there are people who don't mind working on a holiday and/or who need the income. However, do consumers need to shop every day?
11/25: BLACK FRIDAY: Will you be hitting the stores, or shopping online? Online. Mom and I used to go to the stores when I was a kid, but that was back when it wasn't the big deal it is today.
11/16: Which do you prefer: Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
11/22: Did you shop any early Black Friday sales? Yes
11/23: Do you think the sales are all they're made out to be? Yes
11/24: What do you think of brick and mortar stores being open on Thanksgiving? I know Asian places are always open. I think at the end of the day the stores care about making money and some people get to chose if they want the overtime or not. I have worked every holiday at the flower shop and we did get to close earlier.
11/25: BLACK FRIDAY: Will you be hitting the stores, or shopping online? online
11/21: Have you put off any purchases specifically for this time of year? Nope
11/20: What stores/brands are on your radar?. Sephora and Talbots.
11/21: Have you put off any purchases specifically for this time of year?. I was on a no/low buy for the majority of the year so I could take advantage of the year-end sales.
11/20: What stores/brands are on your radar? Went to Ulta but left empty handed. Got a
bunch of hand soaps at Bath and Body because the soaps were $2.95 and I had a free body item and 25% off. I’m almost done Xmas shopping and don’t really need anything else but the deal has to be really good.
Nov. 20: I generally just take a look at what Amazon, Target, Macy’s, Sephora, and Ulta have to offer. Banana Republic pretty reliably does 40-50% off, so I’ll usually pick up a couple of items from them too.
11/19: Best Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals you ever got?. I don't remember, but on sale is better than full price! 😁
@Titian06 @Yea totally agree.
