Do you shop on Black-Friday?

[Josh1977]

Last year was the first year for me. I only went to save over 100 on a smoker I wanted it was well worth it. My Wife is going this year. Don't know if I will make it or not. We where in line at Bass Pro 2 hrs before they opened. There 8 people in front of us.

I use to but it's to crazy for me  anymore. I might try online shopping this year.

1. Check Out the Ads:
2. Do Your Research Before Friday:
3. Compare Prices
4. Look For Earlybird Shopper Discounts
5. Beat the Crowds with Night Owl Discounts on Thanksgiving:
6. Bring The Ads
7. Know the Store Policy
8. Ask for gift receipt

This is the best way to do Black Friday shopping, except "Be there at least 30 min to an hour before opening" should be on the list.  I may or may not do it this year; I have to check out BlackFriday.com to preview what ads are up.  More than likely, I won't go this year.  I always did my shopping with my sister and mother (the better to split up at the same store (or different stores) to pick up what everyone wanted to buy and pay each other back).  But I live 500+ miles away now, which'll make it a bit difficult to do.

No, I don't care for the crowds.  If I do shop, I do my Black Friday shopping online.

I don't I do my shopping online, but My wife goes out every year.

She wakes up early and goes and waits in the cold with her mom and aunts.   

I went one year with them back when I was in High School but now I stay home and watch the Kids and that is ok with me

You know I've never shopped on a black Firday before but I have worked quite a few. I have worked some considering my profession is in the retail field. I still think though I would like to try it and be on the other side of the tables on a black friday. I was planning on trying it out this year and see what it is like.

No I do not shop on black Fridays. It is too hectic and crowded for me. Plus I like to do my shopping early as I can. I also do most of my shopping online. I don't even like to shop in the stores that often so I can't imagine me in the stores on black Fridays. I don't think I will ever shop on black Fridays.

Wow I've never been shopping on Black Friday. It's total chaos. I can't stand Walmart when it's packed with people on a regular day so you can imagine how hectic black friday is. I'd rather shop on the weekend or a few days before christmas because they usually do have good sales going on during that time too.

i went one time and it was absolutely crazy... I got to the store at like 4a.m. and waited in line until 6 when they opened the doors. Ever since then I have had to work on Black friday so I will usually do some shopping online but not in the store

No black friday shopping for me too many people and no parking the sells are just as good on line and no fighting over item when you least except it.
Much safer to shop at home.

Absolutely not.  Last year when those doors opened for the Black Friday sales, an employee lost his life.  I know we've come on some hard times lately, but I'd rather pay a higher price from the luxury of my home and not have to worry about someone tackling me down for a good deal.
