Black Friday Shopping

I too stayed home. I hate crowds and I already have all my Christmas shopping done, (don't I make you sick)and I put up my Christmas tree and decorations over the holiday weekend. I shop all year round and that way when I see something I know somebody would like I get it and stash it away in the closet. I keep a list of what I get for each person so I stay on my budget. I also get good deals by shopping ahead of time. I already have some of my presents wrapped too, I have to mail some back east. I like to be able to relax and wrap gifts, (I have lots to wrap!!)and then just sit back and stare at the Christmas tree and all the presents.

I decided not to venture out today to the stores but I am going out soon to my bowling league this evening so I am sure there will be traffic. I heard this morning that there was about 10,000 people at our shopping mall at 3am in the morning. Is that sick? LOL

I was going to go, then I realized the best fights of my life were on black friday...so I stayed home..I can't deal with having to fight a little old lady somewhere like Old Navy for the last red fleece or something..lol

I shopped online...got some good deals too and didn't have to fight any crowds!

I had to wprk the sale andthe crowds in town were crazy! I did purchase some Wrangler jeans for $6.99 each. I don't like dealing with the crowds.

I went! I started at midnight and didnt get back til 7. The crowds were crazy at every store I went to. But i got some pretty good bargains! It was fun!

i didnt go.. i heard from my friend that her mom went, but couldnt find a parking spot coz it's full pack, so she decided to go home.

i think some are offering sales for tomorrow also.i thought of buying one memory card for my camera.i saw a good deal in Circuit city.it costs 2.99 after 27 mailing rebate for 1 gb

i missed out.. i woke up too late.

Originally we were not going to go out but we needed to get diapers for our daughter and a coller for 1 of my kittens. So we made it worth it and picked up a few more things we needed.

no I was not going to fight the traffic san diego traffic is bad enough

Hey there. We didn't go shopping. We don't have plans to celebrate Christmas due to our financial situation. :( We didn't even have Thanksgiving.

I went and got some minor deals. Got a Golden Tee Game for my brother like the one that is in bars but plugs into your TV, MSRP is $70, got it for $30 Got a 100 pack of Dynex DVD-R's for $4.99 at Best Buy when they normally sell for $69.99 there. Got some kids toys for 50% off as well. No huge deals for me, but still was fun. The crowds aren't that bad to deal with actually.

YOU bet I went & shopped VERY EARLY!!! Left the house at 4:45 AM! Got some super bargins. Two of the stores that I really wanted to shop at, I walked in & walked right back out after seeing the continuous LONG lines!!! Kohl's & Menards!!!!!! That many people shopping in one small store is crazy!!!

Nope, we didn't go..I wouldn't have been fighting through the crowd no way

No way did I go out into that!!!! It is way too crazy! I have been on the other end of it as a manager in retail. And I can tell you, this can be the most fun when it is busy but also most stressful because customers are angery if they can't find something or think it is the wrong price. Word of advice to those shopping this season, don't get angery. The manager does not have ti help you if you get hostile and will do everything in his or her power to help you if you are nice.

I didn't go no good deals. Plus no money.
