Black Friday shopping

Will you be shopping on Black Friday? What will you buy ? Are you willing to line up in front of a shopping center or electronics shop? What will you buy ? Anything in particular? My friend is telling me we need to be outside the Coach Store . She said we might get a good deal on bags and wallets.. I am still thinking about it. I just find it impractical to line up outside the store feeling cold and sleepy then you'll end up shopping for nothing because even they have the items on sale they are still expensive.

I will be shopping somewhere, not sure where yet. The deals have to be pretty good for me to go. Sometimes I get to stores too late and then the electronics deals are gone. I won't go so far as to sleep over at a place, but last year I did make it to Kohl's before they opened at 4am. I got a roll out piano, among other things.

Yeah, the thing with electronics is though, you can usually get good deals all year round depending on where you look. So unless I find a super great deal, I won't wake up that early. The other thing is, a lot of electronics stores will do a black Friday sale online as well. I've done those before. You do have to wake up at a certain time, but all you have to do is roll out of bed, get to the computer, and put in the items you want and then purchase them. And then you can go back to sleep. Much easier. :)

I do not go out on black friday. I did once a long time back with my ex-wife and it was a mad house. I call off work since my sons are home from school and we spend the whole day to gether as a family indoors.

I'm a big Coach fan, but I'd be surprised if they have any special sales worth lining up outside the store for. You may want to check the Coach Factory Outlets if there's one near you. The outlets have amazing deals on out of season Coach handbags. This Black Friday retailers we'll probably see some really great deals since the economy has been so tough on consumers and retailers haven't been making their usual sales. Best Buy had some special offers last year, they'll probably do that again. I may consider replacing my TV because of the DTV conversion. Seems like sales on electronics and clothing offer the best deals I think. Happy shopping!
