I didn't shop the Black Friday sales, but I sure did work them! I am a seasonal employee at Toys R Us, and let me tell you, it was CRAZY yesterday! Lots of people, spending lots of money, making lots of messes! But it did make the day go by fast at least!

I never shop on Black Friday, the crowds are to much for me. However, I did try to go to Walmart, Thursday night. I walked in, saw the lines and crowds and crowds of people and walked right out....lol.

Yes, I did! I got a great deal at Macys! I brought my son a designer coat for $16.99, the regular price of the coat was $70.00. I also had $40.00 worth of Macys giftcards and a $10.00 off coupon. I automatically saved $50.00 off my total purchase. I also got a Nike jacket and saved $27.50 off that, as well as some Thomas and Friends PJs which were only $13.00. My total savings were $101.23. I only paid $13.00 when I left Macys as where I would have normally paid $170.00 worth of merchandise!
I  MACYS! They are my favorite store. 

I also went to Toys R Us, but was a little disappointed in their sales. I got a few items, along with a 20% coupon and saved about $25.00 but spent a whole lot more there than Macys!!

NEVER......I think it's pretty interesting that people do that when they could probably wait a few days and get the same price on the next sale.  Then as usual the media is there and they interview a person who tells them what she got her kids for Christmas and they print it in the paper.....so much for surprises.

I shopped on thursday night which is so much better than 4 am. People are tired and grumpy and rude at 4am. It's not so bad when people are awake.

Nope! Not at all! I haven't done the whole Black Friday madness, ever. I didn't do any online shopping either. I just don't have money for that, or I would certainly take advantage of the sales and buy some things that are needed.

Due to my current location (Thailand) I missed out on the Black Friday sales.  I could have participated in Cyber Monday via the net, but decided against it since I won't be home to accept the shipments.  Bummer, but overall I probably saved myself some bucks...

No I didn't shop any black Friday deals. Probably plenty of deals yet to be had!

I shopped, but it was on the internet and not at a crowded mall ugh, sitting at home drinking egg nog... it was quite nice...

No, I hate shopping to begin with, crowds really annoy me and the idea of putting both together isn't very appealing to me.

I hate shopping as well. I got what I wanted online. I can shop more or less when I want to/can.

Added bonuses are, better selection,parking, and my feet do not hurt!

I'm from Japan and Christmas there is like Valentine's day here.
I've been living in the US almost 8 years but I still get overwhelmed by this christmas related shopping craziness every year.
So no, I didn't shop the blacck friday sales

[gaylasue]

No, I had to work.

I did the Black Friday once years ago and promised myself I would never do something that crazy again and I haven't.  I like the comfort of shopping online sitting at home in my jammies and drinking hot chocolate.  The people are going way overboard with the experience.  First being crumpled to death literally and this year pepper spray.  When does the insanity end?

[springsgardner]

I chose not to this year. I hope to find some amazing deals without worrying about the risks that have made the news the last couple years. I also don't want to go into debt for Christmas. Since I didn't have the cash, it was worth it not to go out. I don't want to pay interest and increase the cost of the presents I got on a deep discount back up to the original amount. So, I keep working on FC and other sites to get the money together so I can pay cash.
