Did anyone shop the black friday sales?
« on: November 25, 2011, 09:40:43 pm »
Last year I got up extra early to do black friday and I got what I wanted but the crowds with their pushing and shoving was not worth it. Chicago is one of the worst places to shop. I decided this year to simply shop online and got my 2yr old a bicycle from kmart for 24.99 a pogo stick for my daughter and other items. I also shopped at kohls and purchased video games for my 9yr old. Happy holidays.

No, I hate shopping to begin with, crowds really annoy me and the idea of putting both together isn't very appealing to me.

Most of the stuff they push on Black Friday is usually on sale right before Christmas anyhow, so I see no need to put myself through that type of misery. I like buying stuff after Christmas, that's when the really good deals can be found and it also gives me a chance to use up all of the gift cards I'm sure to get...

I did not shop black Friday but I had to be at walmart at 2 am.  I work there and by the time I got to work the crowd was nearly gone.  I was glad I was not there when it started.  I was going to by something but it had all sold out by the time I got there.

I did not shop on Black Friday. Instead I volunteered at our local thrift shop. These sales were extremely good all day which was great. All of our proceeds go to benefit the local high school scholarship fund.

I don't think I've ever shopped on Black Friday. :wave: :peace:

I went to black Friday and picked up some pretty good deals on video games for my girlfriend and I to play.

New PS3 games - these are usually ~$60 each.
Rage  29.99
Uncharted 3 29.99
Batman Arkham City 29.99

Got these used at Gamestop
Assassin's Creed II
Resident Evil 5
Used controller (to get me to 2)

So now we can play PS3 games together since we have multiple controllers :-)

I shopped online for deals.  Can't deal with all the crazy people at the stores.

I stopped by best buy before going to work (about 6:30am). It wasn't too crowded and I was able to get some DVDs and CDs on sale. Overall a good experience. I also found a store called $5 or less, a lot of good deals in there but I think it is like that all the time so I will be going back.
