How many of you are going out shopping to save a few dollars today? NOT me. Nope, nope, nope, I HATE Black Friday with the passion of a 1,000 suns. My sister LOVES it - she plans and preps for weeks and heads out at ungodly hours to start the madness. Well, actually now that stores are opening on Thanksgiving night I'm pretty sure she's heading out a 6pm on Thursday and staying out until 5-6am the next day. Yuck. She gets some kind of thrill out of it which I know a lot of you do but I think you're all crazy. I will gladly pay full price not to deal with that crap.
The pure chaos that happens is what gets me - piles of things every where - frantic people pushing on doors and drooling at the mouth to get a 50in TV for $200. I'll just order it online for $300. I get the same feeling when I'm at Ross or Hudsons or a discount store. If things aren't organized and clean I can't do it and I MOST CERTAINLY am not going to be around thousands of people. I don't even enjoy music concerts anymore because of huge crowds of people - I am NOT trying to shop with them either. I would most likely kill someone in pajamas and with all my kickboxing training - I feel it's safer that I stay away from you crazy people and let y'all enjoy the savings. Online shopping is the life for me.
With that being said... lets talk about online shopping for groceries. I have a friend who I won't mention (Terra) who raves and raves about ordering her groceries from Safeway - I think this is heartbreaking. Every time I say I have to go to the store she looks at me and laughs saying she doesn't because she got hers delivered. I just don't understand... going grocery shopping is one of my FAVORITE things to do. I like to browse the aisles, look for deals, try a free sample or two, organize my coupons, check for mark downs, and you can't do that online! Where is the fun in clicking buttons for groceries!? Granted it's awesome to not have to CARRY the groceries up the stairs but I just don't see the appeal. Amazon FRESH delivers as well but I haven't wanted to try that either.
Do you guys get groceries delivered or are you like me and plot and plan every trip to the store like a champ? I suppose it's pointless now for me now to even try the service as I will be moving back to MS soon and I don't think anyone delivers groceries there. I'll just keep on doing it like normal... ya know.. IN STORE.
