What Kind of Black Friday Shopper Are You?

If you go out on Black Friday to do your holiday shopping chances are you've seen each of these people or you are one of these people. Which Black Friday shopper are you?

1. The Planner

The planner is the person who has known exactly what they want to buy and where they want to buy it since October. They love to be organized and usually start their shopping around midnight on Thursday. They will probably start at stores like Walmart to get as many presents and deals as they can out of the way. The planner is also the person who brings ads to the store and asks to see a manager if the advertised price is even a few dollars different than the in-store price. But in the end they get what they came for and they spend exactly what they wanted.

2. The Thanksgiving Shopper

The Thanksgiving shoppers are those who start their shopping on Thanksgiving day. They go to the stores that have been open since 3pm on Thursday and they are usually done shopping before Friday even starts. These people don't care if they even get a Thanksgiving meal. The deals are top priority today.

3. The "You're crazy for going out there" Shopper

These people do not like the idea of Black Friday at all. Thy might go out to one store on Friday around dinner time or whenever they think the least amount of people will be out. They don't like confrontation and hate the idea of being in a roudy group of people at such late hours. These people are the ones who tell you you're crazy for going out on Black Friday and that they worry for your safety. (Let's be real, they should probably be scared for your well being.)

4. The Self-Shopper

This person spends all of Black Friday going to stores they love and buying things all for themselves. They go only to those stores that they already know they like. You can find them around the mall with their hands full of clothes bags or shoe bags. But hey, there's nothing wrong with buying things for yourself. Treat Yo self!

5. The "Rag Doll"

This poor person gets the name "rag doll" because they are pulled around basically all day. This person can be either the boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife, maybe even the friend you forced to come with you so you wouldn't be alone. These people jump store to store, following their significant other around, carrying the bags and pushing the cart. I give this person some major props for dealing with this all day long. You are the real MVP and don't worry you'l get to sleep eventually. Just maybe not until Saturday..

6. The angry shopper

Don't get in this persons way. They know what they came here to get and if you're in the way of that they will destroy you. We've all seen these people and we all know we've been this person at least once. If there is only one X-box left and its between you and the angry shopper, I suggest playing dead, that way they don't hurt you... Just let them be crazy somewhere else. Whatever their reasoning they probably needed the X-box more than you did anyway.

7. The last minute shopper

The Last Minute shopper is the person who just wings it. They go to the stores around midnight and stay out until around 4 or 5 am. They had no plans and yet they still get everything done that they needed. Who says you have to plan the whole night? Just shop and get it done with. Now there's no more Christmas shopping to do. Now you can relax.

8. The absentee

You ate too much on Thursday and you have been in a food coma for so long that you just realized it's Saturday. Don't worry, there's still cyber Monday.


So, What kind of Black Friday Shopper are you?

Share with friends and see what kinds they are. Happy shopping!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
