Whose going out on Black Friday?

[DizNee143]

i did it for the first time last year and i think i will be doing it again this year!!
although i didnt really get any gifts last year..i did get myself many nice things for cheap!! lol..
this year i wanna go to target..i went to kohls last year with some friends..but even if i have to go solo..im going to target..
when do you usually find out about all the crazy sales??
so who is gonna brave the cold weather and early early morning to get some good deals??

I'll be working that day.... the day after Thanksgiving is not a holiday for my office. But my supervisor is taking the day off as a vacation day so she can go out shopping. She's done this since she started here! I think I've done it once in my whole life and NEVER AGAIN! I always try to have all my shopping done BEFORE Black Friday!

I love to get up early and go to Wal-Mart to save a few dollars, beat the crowds.... ahh the thrill of the hunt, the conquest of knowing you got a great deal!

[IloveJack]

I go every year. It's a tradition! My Mom and I get up at 4am and are in town well before the stores open.
Now that I'm married, dh and I have to either get up even earlier to get to mom's house, or we have to spend the night there.
On Thanksgiving day, we'll pass the paper around before dinner, look at the sales papers, and map out our plan. Last year, we were in the same vehicle, but split up on foot. This year, I hope we can stay together!
This year, dh and I already have all but 3 gifts purchased (other than for each other), so we'll just be looking for good deals for ourselves. We usually end up stocking up on dvds on that Friday.

If you go to Google and type it in, you can already see the ads...I was checking them out online last night! Good luck!

... Friday morning; We will be out in full force!
Capitalism..gotta LOVE it!
I just hope we dont spend too much.

I haven't found anything that seems like that great of a deal in all the ads that I've seen other than your bigger ticket items like TVs & computers where you can save several hundred dollars . I know Walmart has sent legal letters to the Black Friday sites and made them take down their ad. Plus a lot of places like Kohls & Pennys have started sales earlier this year because they know 1 weekend isn't going to save them with the down turn everything has taken. I normally work and stop at Best Buy and pick up things for everyone else on my way in to save them the trip. But since it will be the 1st day my wife has taken off this year I figured to take it off too so we can all just sleep in.

I've never gone Black Friday shopping, but I was thinking about checking it out one year. I doubt I'll buy anything because I despise waiting in long lines but we'll see... good luck to all who brave the crowds for that elusive deal!

I've been going for years.....usually I go by myself because no one else in my family is crazy enough to go with me!

One year my mom went with me and that was it.....she said once was enough for her. Of course, we were at Walmart, so that is why I think she said she had enough -- if you have never gone to Walmart, it's nuts!!

Last year I actually helped on of my friends neighbors by hauling a drum set she bought and could not fit in her car!! I delivered it later that day to her parents house and the guy was like "WHO are you lady?"......Yeah, it was weird, but sometimes you gotta help people out!

This year so far from what I've seen on the Black Friday sites, I'm not really going for anything in particular.....Toys R Us has absolutely nothing for our house, so I won't be heading there. Maybe Target and Kohls this year......

At any rate, I will be going slower since I found out we're going to add another "spawn" as DH calls them, to our family (he means it lovingly I am sure).

Kohls and TJ Maxx..GREAT stores for name brand clothes!

[Dracula766]

I'll be in line at Best Buy for sure. I already printed out the ad scan and circled what I'm gonna get. I made out like a bandit last year and intend to do it again

[Strmchsr]

I don't go anywhere near any retail establishment from Thanksgiving until New Year's Day. I have long since retired from fighting crowds. Why put up with that nonsense when I can do any necessary shopping from the comfort of my computer?

[SBETigg]

I worked retail for five years of Black Fridays and that was enough for me. I avoid shopping of any kind and stay far away from malls on Black Friday. Internet shopping!

One good thing about Wal-Mart is they keep the Black Friday sale price in effect long after Black Friday ends.
I've purchased things with the BF sale price in mid December.

[Speedy1998]

beat the crowds.... :

Beat the Crowds?????????? I have never seen worse crowds than at Wal-mart the one time I went out. When I saw a fist fight started over the last DVD player that was on sale I decided I would never do it again. Any black Friday shopping that I do will be strictly online.

Good point.

[kakn7294]

I work 7p to 7a on both Thursday and Friday so I won't be going anywhere but work and bed! In the past when I have been off and gone out, I haven't really enjoyed it. I hate the crowds so I really do more people watching than shopping.

I thought Wal-Mart didn't have sales - only roll back of prices. LOL

Not living in the States, how can you people get up so early to go shopping the morning after Thanksgiving? I can't imagine it. I've been looking at some of the sale flyers and can't say that I have seen that many great sales. Granted a few good items, but with limited quantities available.
