How do you feel about BLACK FRIDAY?
-
each year it gets crazier and starts earlier. There was even a fight at a local walmart.
-
Hate it!! I stay home where the semi-sane people reside!! I read that an employee at Walmart out in Long Island, NY was trampled on and died! That is insane!! Too many crazies out today! NOT worth saving $100 on something! I get the same deals shopping online and truthfully the deals weren't that great this year! ::)
-
I am not a fan of Black Friday, but if there's a good deal I'll go out and grab it. I have 2 young kids and they get 5-6 gifts each and I already did all my shopping for them before Thanksgiving. If there is anything we need during the year, we usually buy it.. we don't wait for Black Friday. One year, I did buy a TV on Black Friday and today I went out (at Noon) and bought a toaster oven. But for the most part, I prefer to stay home and shop online :)

not a fan no good deals to be had
-
I stayed far away from any stores today! I don't like fighting the crowds even on ordinary days, so Black Friday is definitely out.
-
No way will i go out in it. I worked for 20 yeas in retail and so no thanks. At my age i sure don't want to be pushed and shoved around. Besides if i want something i will buy it when i want too. there are always sales going on.

I'm not a fan of Black Friday. There are too many crazy people at the stores and malls, so I buy most of my stuff online.
-
This is a terrible day, people go insane just to save a little bit of money.
-
I don't like being manipulated, so I don't buy anything after October except for groceries.
All these "great deals" are a way for the stores to make you think you're getting a bargain, but at what cost? All the people who used to spend time with their families during the holidays are either working to sell me stuff I don't really need, or they're trying to knock me over to get to something before I can.
It's dehumanizing.

I never cared too much for black friday because people be acting crazy and I do not like to be around a big crowd of people where they push you and bump into you. I do my black friday shopping online where it is a lot easier

Well, I guess since I started this discussion I should pipe in. I am not a big crowd type of person as I try to avoid them like the plague. I also hate long lines at the cash register. In addition, I hate shopping! Thank goodness that my wife has no problem doing what she enjoys (shopping) and she normally snags things up at very reasonable prices all year round. We buy a lot of our toddlers needs at goodwill as he only plays with toys for a little bit and they are old and clothes he outgrows before they show any wear. So we are second hand stores best customers as we have a revolving door going on where we are constantly buying and taking back. Seems that everything is so commercialized buy, buy, buy, consume, consume, consume. Needless to say, I stayed home today.

I don't feel about black Friday. I find it to be a waste. It causes chaos and mayhem. I prefer shopping early or online.
-
Well It looks like Turkey Thursday have taken over from Black Friday.... :)
-
Black Friday is a way for stores to lure people in to buy one more gadget that they don't need or use. That is just my opinion.
-
There wasn't many good deals this year.
-
I'm more of a fan of Cyber Monday - that's my style of shopping. I don't think I ever did a Black Friday. I don't like going to malls on regular weekends, so there's been very little appeal for the BF craziness. I also feel that it's lost some of its meaning now that stores start their sales on Thursday. Way to cut into the holidays. ::)
-
I went out to the stores Thursday night just to see what it was like. We hit several different stores but we didn't end up buying anything. We ended up the night at Denny's for a late snack. Overall it was a good family bonding experience.
-
I want nothing to do with it :bad:
-
It's all hype to get people into the stores to shop.
-
I guess it's Black Thursday now!!
