Black Friday Shopping

I used to shop on black Friday. I gave it up a few years ago. I usually wait and go later in the day after the mad rush. Lots of times the bargains are still available.

Last year was actually the first year that we went. My husband took off work and we went to walmart. It was fun. Ofcourse we live in a small town, so it was really laid back compared to the crowd trampling horror you see on the news lol. Everyone just went in and stood by what they wanted and at 5 am starting throwing stuff in their carts. We might branch out and try some other stores this year.

There has to be something I absolutely MUST have and it has to be almost FREE before I'll brave the traffic and crowds on Black Friday! I did it once, many years ago with my sister-in-law, and what a circus! I prefer to do as much of my shopping online as possible or to give gift cards or cold, hard CASH! That's something that can be used anywhere and never gets any complaints!

I don't recall ever doing this. MY daughter has been talking about it recently. I am sort of concerned with her wanting to go out. I am not sure if we will do this. It's just a few sales nothing major I think.

Actually this will be the first time for me to go shopping on Black Friday, me and my daughter will be going shopping, starting at midnight! There is a website that shows you all the ads that will be coming out.....blackfriday.info; check it out, it's great. So, this year we will be bundling up, since it's supposed to be 30 degrees and heading out to the stores with probably a few stops at Starbucks! lol

I love Black Friday myself. Four years ago, I had some money and my daughters and I along with my parents really racked up on some good deals that day. My father was still living and we had a great time. Times have changed though, but things still stay the same. This year unless I get some cash unexpectedly, I'll be out of it.

we don't have any malls or any shops open during this season. i really am surprised to hear that it's really different on the states or in america. every black friday here every shop are really closed. sometimes it really get boring and i really wish that there are some shops that are open. hopefully they will change the tradition and that they will open some shops and that they will be to run some business. thanks for your discussions.

yes i do black friday shopping every year. I love it. think its so much fun, and one can usually get pretty good deals. Toys r us is always the first stop on the list. Than usually circuit city. I want to go to bestbuys but their line is usually around the block so I tend to stay clear of that area. Counting down the hours, whooo hoooo

I've done it for a few years straight now. I slept for 5 hours after a huge meal today. It's now Thursday evening @ 11:30 p.m. here in Minnesota. And the wife and I are heading out at 3:30 for store opening at 4 a.m. for some serious shopping. HAHAHAHA!! There's a Karaoke machine our 6 year old grandson wants badly. HAHAHAHA!!
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~
