What Kind of Shopper are You?
On Thanksgiving I was assigned the duty of taking care of my sister's kids while she did Black Friday shopping. If you aren't familiar with Black Friday, that is the day that everyone in the world shops for Christmas gifts. Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is usually the busiest day of the year for most retailers. They put out at least one mega-deal to entice you to their store and try to get you there early so you get caught up in the action.
This year I decided to be the babysitter and wait patiently at home while the world shopped. My sister and cousin both got up before dawn and headed out to the stores at 4:00am. They were trying to get a LCD TV and toys for their kids. They went to four stores looking for the good deals on TVs, and all of them were sold out.
Finally, at Toys r Us they lucked out with many good deals. They worked together and one would guard the carts and wait in the checkout line, while the other would run around the store and get items to buy. It was all very exciting. My sister said, "You get your adrenaline running, and you start buying things you don't need...you're just caught up in the whole buzz of it all."
I noticed by noon that the news was already saying that this year's Black Friday was the most successful in the past five years.
My sister was prepared she had a backpack to carry all of her stuff in, including turkey sandwiches and mugs of starbucks coffee. She was not going to let sleep deprivation take her down. One lady in the store with them watched them with all of their supplies and commented, "Man, I'm an amatuer at this...I didn't think to bring food with me."
So, in honor of the shoppers I took this quiz to find out what kind of shopper I am:

You spent hours on each persons gift. Browsing as many stores as possible to find the perfect present. Each gift is based on your feelings for that person. Cost (no matter how great or small) is never an issue. | ||
