I use to ,but not any more to many crazy people.
-
The best way to still take advantage of the black friday sales and not get run over by shopping carts or other shoppers is to shop online, many retailers now offer the same sales as they do in their stores on their websites this is something that I just learned last year its still saving money but not getting killed or injured in the process
-
I don't, but people demand it...
-
i've never shopped on black friday, always
worked it ::) i'm crossing my fingers that
i don't have to this year...
-
I have they have great deals but man people get crazy. Like they suddenly become possessed when there favorite video game is 5 bux off sheesh.
-
I usually shop online and get a head's up by looking at slickdeals.net.
-
No way. I can't stand to be in the stores around Christmas. People are crazy. I stay far away from stores on Black Friday.
-
I did once in high school, but only because my boyfriend and his mother talked me into it... since then, I've steered clear of the craziness! Besides, I felt a little guilty buying gifts for my family, who HATES Black Friday and refers to it as "buy nothing day"!
-
i also shop online - i was one of the sad fools who waited over night for a PS3 when they first came out and never got one :BangHead: Never again with big crowds!
-
not last year
hoping not to be able to go this year
i hope our local high school football team will be playing their championship game ;)
-
i try to shop year round and avoid the rush - i try to look for the best deals and bargains so to get more bang for the buck.

My husband and I have started a tradition we have been getting up at 4am for the last 9 years. I want to quit, because I am getting too old to be putting up with crazy people, but he wants to keep doing it!
-
I aviod all unneeded trips to any store during the last week of November and the entire month of December. The crowds are rediculous. I like to be able to browse in peace. All that pushing and shoving is just crazy. When I do venture out, it is late at nigth when the stores are quietest.
-
I did last year, this year probably not. Hopefully they have some good online deals.
-
I try not to if I don't have to. Occasionally a family member will convince me to go out, but I am usually sorry that I went. It is pure madness in the stores on that day.
-
:) Saving money is saving money...it does not matter the time of the year! Good savings are also available the day after Christmas, on December 26th. Gifts sets go 50% off regular prices at Kmart, Walmart, Fred Meyer and may other stores around the country. So, go shopping...have some fun and save!

Last year my husband was working in central California. My child and I went out there for the Thanksgiving holiday. We got up at 3 am to take advantage of the sales on Black Friday. We had a plan as to the stores we were going to visit and the items we planned to purchase. In my opinion it was well worth it! We completed our Christmas shopping that day and got a lot of items people wanted that we would not have been able to afford any other time of the year. My husband got a new laptop for $699 that was regularly $1599! That right there was a good enough reason for me to get up before the sun! We have done Black Friday for many years and I plan to do it agan this year. I have learned to ignore the idiots who act like they own the stores and act like wild bafoons. My advice is to get your game plan together BEFORE you head out shopping. Be prepared to wait in a few lines until the doors of the stores open. If you have to have something make it a priority to get to the store early to be one of the first in line. The discounts and freebies are worth it to me!
-
I would love to shop on black friday and enjoy the madness!! Unfortunatley i have to work on black friday :( its the WORST!!
-
I went last year, but I doubt I do that again!! People acted as if their life was going to end if they werent first for something. LOL I got hit 3 times by one person and her damn cart!! Come on. Rats in a maze is what it seemed to be.
-
not me too many crazy people
-
I did that once and it was enough for me. Never again. Its not worth getting thru the maze of people. I do most of my shopping online and avoid all of the chaos.
-
yes
-
After seeing how crazy people can get on TV I won't go out on Black Friday.
-
I would like to shop on black friday, but the stores are to crazy
-
I didn't shop last year because of money problem but this year I learned to save up. I'm going out on black friday to but a few things for special people in my life and to see the chaos of people shopping and going from store to store.
-
The past couple years I have had jobs that require me to work Black Friday - yeah retail - so I havent been able to shop on Black Friday, but I can definitely vouch for the crazy people :D
If I stay at my current job I will have that day off though so I may brave the crowd for the deals.
-
yes I do. I do all the Christmas shopping
-
No way! My mom braved it last year and got my sister the same digital camera I got my daughter and she got it for a whole 10 dollars less. And two people in our area died! they were trampled to death!! the croud of people was even trying to climb over the paramedics that came to try to help the victims! insane...
-
nah, too lazy, but i do get up early to go online and buy stuff online
-
Yes. Love it. It gets me in the Christams mood.
-
never have and never will! i'm not a "crowd" kind of person to begin with. for instance, i typically do my grocery shopping at 5am so that there's NO ONE in the store. and on quite a few occasions, some of my family members have got up at 3am, if not earlier, and fought massive crowds to buy something because it was "such a great deal" and then i turn around and find it online (albeit a few months later) for pretty much the same price. so to me, black friday is a waste of my time... and just increases the chances that i will punch someone in the face! :0)
-
I generally go out for a couple items at Target. But I do not hit multiple stores.
-
I havent shop a black friday yet but I have work on a black friday!! Really crazy!!!
-
I always SAY Im going to get up and hit the stores on Black Friday but when that alarm clock goes off and I try to open my eyes, I say forget it and go back to sleep! The bargins have to wait for some other day!!
-
When I have the opportunity, I run as far from any consumer type place as I can on Black Friday! I have worked them, and I shopped one time and both experiences are ridiculous. It's the herd mentality that makes people stupid on Black Friday, too many people in a small space fighting for too few items.
-
I usually have to work, but if I am off of work, I stay away if at all possible. I cannot stand the way people act on that day. Rude, rude, rude.
-
I was reading through this thread and then went to look up some videos on Black Friday.
I do not, and do not EVER plan on shopping on that cursed day.
-
I have never shopped on black friday but have always wanted to but it always seems to be in between paychecks or something always came up. What i did happen to get one year is i went to gordmans the day before thanksgiving at night and got all the specials they had for black friday cause they were closed thanksgiving and wanted all ready to go. it was awesome saved a bunch got everyone covered and no crowds :o
-
It use to be great when there were listings online of what store had what on sale. It made it very easy to find what you wanted and get it. Now that they stopped that it is a mad house and I'll stay away unless there is something I really want. Last year I did go to Ultimate Electronics, it wasn't that bad and had some killer deals, but nothing I wanted.
-
Not anymore- I can't be bothered anymore.
-
i've never shopped on black friday, always

-
I can't face the crowds ::)
-
Heck yes I do.. I go online at midnight and get all the store sales sometimes even better and get everything I need from the comforte of my home!! Its amazing!! You guys and gals should try it!!!
-
Is it a good place?
-
No! The crowds are too crazy for me.
-
I do, I love seeing all the crazy people fighting over nothing
