Who is going shopping on "Black Friday?"

Ponyup · 11-24-2008, 09:30 AM

We've been going the last couple years just because there is nothing to do at my in-laws. It hasn't been too bad, but maybe that's because we're not really looking for anything. Usually we're just giving them ideas for things to get us. I usually have all my shopping done by this time of year anyway & this year is no different. I finished up things yesterday except my one aunt & grandma, but I know what they are getting & where to get it. I also have to order my hubby a few things off amazon. But then i'm done & free to enjoy the holiday season.

I've never tried it and probably never will. I'm an impulse shopper and would definitely be pressured into buying TOO much with the lower prices. The last two years, I have taken MIL to one stand-alone clothing store to help her shop for the kids, but it's never crowded.

Poor Haley! I can't imagine going to a toy store that day. Wear boxing clubs.

I never go because I can't handle the crowds. My daughters sometimes go, and they said people actually fight over things. Not for me lol

I definately avoid the stores the weekend after Thanksgiving! Over the past few years, I've tried to do as much shopping as possible on line.

I got a 19" flat screen, LED, HDTV in Walmart about a month ago for about $225.
I bet they're on sale for even less now. It's a Panasonic and is just fine.

I went one year and swore never again.
It was horrrible!!!! People were shoulder to shoulder...

wellI got talked into it!!!!!!!!!!! A friend is on her way over and we are going out of town shopping on Black Friday!!! I just know it is going to be horrible again. I don't know why I let myself get talked into this. My shopping is darn near done, no real reason to get out on this day of wild people.

Wish me luck... only good thing about it is that I will get a good meal out of it.

DEEP BREATH here... it will be ok... egads, I hate crowds!!!!!!
