Bai Mitwah I am not that lazy. I no longer care about image after hitting 50. 

Do you plan to do some Black Friday shopping ?

Some stores open tonight to kick off the shopping craze. Be careful folks, don ‘t buy stuff you don’t need. 😀

Black Friday started because businesses books change from the Red, and now start showing a profit, also when retailers choose to dump old stocks. Buying electronics, be careful , check the warranty or even purchase extended warranty. Know your product and prices, don't follow the crowd, buy what you need, many stores will offer Black Friday prices even after Friday if they have stock. Enjoy the day, enjoy your Thanksgiving Meal, then go for a quiet walk.

Have any of you now reach that stage in your life where acquiring new material things are meaningless now.

I have gotten to the point where I no longer feel the need to go out and buy any of the fancy stuff that I once used to do.

I am just content with what I have now, and will wear my clothes and shoes and stick with my old stuff until they are ready to fall apart.

Perfect example I have a microwave oven (Candle brand) that is 36 years old, I have only changed the light bulb twice and the fuse once. It works fine and we use it everyday. The kids have bugged me to throw it out and get a new one, preferably stainless steel.

I have refused since it works fine and for the other reason it was a wedding gift to us from my father.

True.  Most of my shopping is for Christmas gift for kids!  Talking about that, need to get my daughter's stuff and mail to Swiss.  Also have to go figure out that long customs declaration form before I look stupid filling it out in public!

I have long stopped giving gifts to the kids, they are working and really don't need anything. I now just give money to them and to the grandson.

Heard you had problems one time. Now don't ask how i got the info.

I am like Amral, don't buy too much stuff not needed.There are lots of clothing gotten as gift from the kids that is never worn.

A few years ago, spouse and I went to JC Penney around midnight Thanksgiving night and got some great deals on curtains. He was so excited he grabbed all he could find.

I ran into Farah Pahlavi (the Shah's wife) in the malls the other day. We had a great conversation about Iran.

I saw a FB flash last night from my nephew in Guyana promoting his "Black Friday" specials!!

I took my family last night to one of the stores and it was packed. This was about 9:00 PM. Had to stand in line to the checkout for about an hour. Some of the registers were freezing up. Was madhouse there.

My son and his friends went midnight shopping and got great deals on refrigerators, TVs, stereo systems, microwaves, etc. They came home around 2am. I think I see my Christmas gifts hidden in the basement.

Did the rat ever find out who took out a false FB account pretending to be a Black girl in love with him? He should have commissioned Yugli with his spy software to track down the imposter.

My wife has an issue with me, when it comes to 'my' or 'our'  children. Her famous words are 'Like you mek am alone, plus me do most ah de wuk' and she not even Guyanese.

You can stock up for next year.

Just came back from Vaughan Mills And bought a few items few items at RL Polo. It took me 45 mins to get out of the parking lot. I decided to go to Canada Computers to grab a few electronic items but the lineups were too long so I decided against it.

It is a madhouse out there.

Is there any news of unfortunate incidents on Black Friday? Could this year be fortunate for bargain hunters?

My wife was going to drop me off there. I convinced her that I might be ugly, but I am not mad or stupid. She agreed and we went home.
