Black Friday

Did anyone stand in line OUTSIDE of a store for hours?  I hear that people were in lines for close to 20 hours waiting for the 4 am openning-- CRAZY

I would love to hear how long people stood in line and what kind of bargains you got!

Nope, I worked retail for 20+ years and I know how crazy it gets so there is no way I would have done that to save 5.00

Wow, that's crazy. I went out shopping but only got there like 10 minutes before my first stop opened.

we waited in the car. When the doors opened we busted in - I got 2 tee for 4 bucks - what a good deal.

I didn't get up early, but I went around 7:30. The only things that were sold out were laptops that were really on sale, which was a bummer. Still, I got almost everyone bought for and people were so NICE!! Customers, clerks, everyone! Great experience this time.

I went over to Target around noon, got my one Blu-ray that I wanted, and headed out.
I was expecting terrible lines and a danger of being trampled, yet I managed to get in and out shockingly quickly. I had to wait in line less than I would have on a normal day!  :dontknow:

Wow. How can people stand to stay outside the store for about 20 hours??  The longest I've ever waited outside a store was only 1 hour and I still got what I came for.

I didn't. I did go to the mall later and look longingly at the laptops. ;-;

The low prices are such a tease when you have no money.

I didn't wait in line for very long considering how long some people did. Only a couple of hours. But I got huge deals at bath and body works. Absolutley love that store.
