Are You A Part Of Black Friday? What Time Did You Go?

I have never been and never plan on going shopping on Black Friday. At 4 am I was in bed sound asleep. I would rather pay full price for something than go to any store on Black Friday and get a discount. To me the crowds are not worth it.

well normally im part of the Super early crowd but this year i had all my shopping done so i had no need to hit the stores at 5 am however at noon i did head out to "check " things out and almost all the stores run a fri/sat sale so i was able to get some extra last minute gifts mainly dvds and video games at a good price but even at noon there was no parking, the lines were super duper long and the aisles were beyond crowded

Unless it is a life threatening emergency or some other drastic reason (my great-grandmother died on Thanksgiving one year, so we had to make arrangements on Black Friday), I don't even go into town! Traffic is horrible and people completely forget about holiday spirit and all of the. No deal is worth getting trampled or run over, which is actually quite likely around here.

I never heard of a black friday shopping but it's cool:) i'm here in the philippines they opened the mall always 10am. So shoping is always around at that time. And they close at 10pm:) Happy posting my friend:)

Hello gtargirl

I went to Lowe's this morning and bought 50 recesses lights. I guess that made me a part of Black Friday. It went okay.

lots of places here opened at 4am also, nope didn't go, even though I was up until close to 3am, by the time it all started I was sound asleep.

I think its better to wait for the sales, which start before Christmas, just before, or to do my shopping online.

Stores are often understocked and don't offer rain checkss

I will be buying fewer more expensive gifts for my kids this year...

PS2 games, and gadgets, cameras stuff like that.

Mooch

I was supposed to go, but I was really was too tired and also my paycheck didn't arrive, so I would have had nothing to shop with anyway. I'm just lucky my grandma sent me $10 for Thanksgiving, so I could do some laundry and buy detergent, so as to address my evergrowing laundry pile.

Shopping for us didn't start until 5AM. We left the house about 4AM and got there 20 minutes early, so I staked out a spot as close to the ropes as I could. They actually let us start shopping about 5 minutes before 5, which isn't bad. We were out of the store by a little after 6 and home by 7:30 because we stopped at Mcdonalds and got some breakfast. Walmart actually lets everyone in the store before the sale starts, they just rope sections off, so no camping out for us.

All I did today is work. I sometimes think about going shopping on Black Friday for the deals, but my social phobia just couldn't handle it. I've done it once in my life I think.

We weren't sure whether it would be very busy or very slow at the bank where I work, but it turned out to be very slow. So we mostly did decorating and stuff.:P

nope I stayed home not going out with the crazies. on news one woman fought an old ladt for a CD not worth it to me. and I only want to get more lights for the yard any how and I can get them any time I decide to go to the stores!
