I will be at home with a cup of coffee and my laptop open. I have no inclination to fight for a parking spot than fight the crowds. There are only a few things I have left to buy anyway.

I never went shopping on Black Friday and I never will. It is a waste of time. I shop mainly online and always before Black Friday or Cyber Monday. That way I beat the crowds and get what I need. And yes I find things cheaper before Black Friday.

Never Never Never do I shop on Black Friday ... too many people fighting over too little items that they have for sale ... There will be plenty more sales before Christmas that I can take advantage of.

I am British and in the UK, obviously we don't have Black Friday. In fact when I married my husband and moved to the US, I didn't even know what Black Friday was - I thought it was a time when the stock markets bombed! However, that aside, I remember the first time I saw the stampede at some Black Friday sales on the news/tv. I was shocked that people would queue up for hours to snag that great deal and then stampede over each other to make sure they got to their goods as soon as possible. It really seemed like it was each man for himself. And to think that some people ended up in hospital over it. Wow! Shocking.

Many of us are aware that Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving. Do you think you will try to find more Black Friday deals this year? Are you excited for Black Friday?
I made the mistake of going shopping a couple of years ago on Black Friday. You couldn't pay me enough to ever go again! It seems as though the entire store was full of malcontents. People were acting like they had lost their ever-loving minds. I have never seen grown people act as such. I wouldn't go now because of that experience I had 2 years ago. I mean, is it really so important to save a dollar or two that you are willing to trample people over to get to the sells?

I personally, think the whole concept of BLACK FRIDAY is just so RETAILERS CAN GET THE JUMP ON NUMBERS!!!!  People who take part are just nuts in my opinion!!!!

I've always been raised to believe that holidays are for family. Seems companies are doing their best to make the holidays all about commercialism and less about families. I never shop on Black Friday. I hope this trend starts losing momentum as people stop spending so much money on commercialized holidays because they can't afford it any more, and things go back to just spending quality time with family and friends, and no one is forced to work earlier and earlier and leaving everyone during the meal now instead of after, just to get to work for this stuff.

On black Friday I am usually up at 4:00am and waiting in line before the store opens then I rush in to get my deals before anyone else. that day the stores are usually crazy.
