Question of the week: With the economy the way it is, will you be shopping this Black Friday or will you wait for the sales closer to the holidays?

“I’ll probably do all of my shopping on Black Friday. We go every year.”

— Pasquale Dilena, Springbrook employee, Oneonta

“I don’t plan on it. I work retail on Black Friday; I’d rather make money then spend it.”

— Callum Fedele, sales associate, Syracuse

“I’ll probably wait until after Black Friday. Probably won’t have time until after.”

— Kathy Barnhart, Price Chopper associate, Bovina

“I live sort of far from my family so we don’t get to see each other a lot. I’d rather hang out with them than deal with holiday shopping madness.”

— Lindsey K. Yacobush, dancer, New York

“No. I’m one of many starving artists without funds for holiday shopping this year.”

— Michael Nameishi, sales, Kagoshima, Japan

“I’ll wait till close to Christmas. Some things I can even get after.”

— Thelma Scherer, retired, Bloomville
