I never had that experience. Going to the store at 2am just to avail the sale? I've heard many people are lining up in front of the store waiting it to open. And they said, some of these people are rude.. they are snatching some things on the shelf that are on sale? what a scene. I don't like to join that group. did you experience it? How does it feel to be there early morning in the cold waiting?

Well I wasn't at the store at 2am but I did get up at 4am and headed to my local wal-mart, the sale didn't start till 5am and our wal-mart is always open 24 hrs. so I didn't have to wait in line in the cold, but I did have to wait in line in the store to get certain things. They had a good sale this year, I bought a portable DVD player for cheap, and some other things. I wasn't so sure I wanted to do it again this year but I braved it, everybody at our store was polite and there wasn't any snatching or fighting going on.

I hate crowd Bebs, so I haven't experienced that..Even in the Philippines before, I don't go to any midnight sale..
I can't imagine myself waking up so early just to shop...I will always wait after Christmas and I am contented with their huge sale already!

Me either, I don;t like the crowd much more if it is in the Philippines, I can't concentrate shopping in a crowded areas, I would imagine the bomb!! when there are lots of people that's why I don't. But here in US, there's nothing like bomb when you are in a crowd.. only stampede... hahaha...

No, I have never had such an experience. I don't think that it is worth it for the little profit at the cost of the time for one's rest when one is supposed to sleep at this time of the day.

No. I will just to wait until the opening of the mall on the following day.hehehe. I am not really that hook to buying items on sale because most of the stores in our place sale items who are obsolete and not good anymore so I expressed no interest if they are having sales.

My experience is different I've been going out at 12:00 Midnight to avail the most discounted prices in our place it is on going every Thursday & Sunday from 12:00AM-6:00Am. True you really can save more like 100% than the usual prices of the latest fashion trend in the Malls. Only you have to go out early...

I've never done something like that, but I see it every year in the news when January sales begin.
Is amazing how people can be lining all the night to be the 1st ones to get the best bargains. It happens too with videogames or technology, or even with concert tickets.
I don't like having to be in a line for more than 10 hours, so I avoid it ;P
