Black Friday is a dreaded day of madness to some and a fun day of shopping to others. From the crazy deals and even crazier shoppers to the planning that's involved, Black Friday is a day that brings out the best and worst in people. Whether you love this day or absolutely hate it, there's definitely a name to describe your Black Friday style. Which type of shopper are you?!
The Seriously Committed Mother And Daughter
This serious duo has every store catalog laid out on the dinning room table with pages marked, things circled and lists of must-have’s. They sit at the table pouring over the ads figuring out the best plan of action. Black Friday isn’t a game to this mother and daughter duo. It’s a carefully planned strategy to get the best deals and have the best time. But don’t worry, this duo doesn’t throw any ruthless punches.
The Early Bird Camper
This Black Friday fanatic is the person who camps out for days outside Walmart just to get the cheapest TV deal they can find. They don’t mind sitting out in the bitter cold if it means scoring a new TV for their “Price Is Right” addiction. These campers live, breathe and would even die defending their love for Black Friday. They most definitely are the ones who run in herds, throw some punches and do anything to get the limited deals. Steer clear of these.
The Late Arriver
This person could care less about getting the best deals, but feels like he or she has to shop on Black Friday because everyone else does. They show up at the mall long after the deals have been picked over in hopes they may find something good. Chances are this late arriver goes home after paying normal price for all the things the early bird got half off. Oh well, better luck next year.
The Overly Prepared Family
This family rehearses for this day for months. They have drills, plans of actions and even matching walkie-talkies. You’ll see the dad idled outside the store while the mom and kids run in and out, communicating through their walkies. This family has everything down to a science and they are sure to get the best deals.
The Browser
This person goes into a store no plan at all. They take their time browsing the aisle and racks to find something that’s worth buying. Unlike the seriously committed shoppers who seem to find a need to buy everything, the browser is perfectly content with going home empty handed.
The Rookie
The Rookie is normally content cuddling up on the couch after a long day of stuffing their face with turkey. But this year, they spotted a deal they just couldn’t pass up. After searching endlessly for a parking spot, bumping into people who act like they’re on WWE and weaving in and out of aisles in the check-out line, they decide nothing, and they mean nothing, is worth this torture.
The Deal Vulture
This person always has their smart phone handy. If they find a Black Friday deal, the first thing they do is go to Amazon to see if they can find a better price. Their mission is to find the cheapest price and they aren’t afraid to do it. Even if it’s just a dollar, they’re willing to go to another store or buy it online if it means saving a little money.
The Objector
This person hates Black Friday with a passion. They’d rather sit in the warmth of their home binge watching Christmas movies on Netflix than face the bitter cold and bitter people fighting for deals. They’d rather participate in Cyber Monday and enjoy shopping from the comfort of their couch.
The Impulse Buyers
Unlike the browsers, the impulse buyers just HAVE to buy something on Black Friday. They don’t care what or how much it is, they’re buying it. The impulse buyers frequently find themselves in a blackout state once they enter a store and come to as they are leaving with a a cart full of bags and their credit cards maxed out.
The Bag Holder
This person couldn’t care less about shopping, in fact, they really hate it. The only reason they’re out on Black Friday instead of sleeping is because their spouse or S.O. gave them the “you’re coming or else” speech. You get stuck holding the bags while your eager spouse searches the racks for the best deals. This person scans endlessly for a bench to sit on just to get pulled into another crowded store.
The Seasoned Veteran
This person knows how to get in and out of a store in a matter of minutes. They know exactly where the things they want are located, have their route mapped out and take no time dilly dallying. They’re probably on to the next store before you can even find that TV deal.
