In most years past I haven't had any money to shop. Now I do. I like going out early in the morning, like 7am. Usually it's not too crowded then. But I dunno! I have no idea what to buy people for gifts yet. I like to go out on Black Friday just to get ideas. I stay away from the mall though! They open at three on thanksgiving day which I think is just sick. Let people enjoy being at home with family!

I work for a climbing hold company. Starting last year we don't do black Friday style sales and we get to take the day off instead of working thanks to the inspiring idea from REI

I don't ever do black Friday shopping. I hate the people and the crowds.

Black Friday and After Christmas sales are the only times I really shop. Outside of that, I don't shop unless I need something specific or if I'm hypo/manic... but I'm rarely a "manic shopper".

Fair point. Usually my wife does all the gift getting and such. I just battle through what is usually my most depressed time of year.

My first child was born dec21 and died on the 30th, so I usually just fall apart during the holiday season and well into the new year.

Normally I avoid Black Friday...mostly cause I don't like crowds, but I'm thinking about it this year. I need a phone and usually they have pretty good deals on electronics, but I'm not sure now thanks to the election whether or not I'll be able to keep on with the monthly phone bills or have to pay tons for meds.

No one could pay me enough to fight everyone and the lines, etc on Black Friday.

I'll pay extra as opposed to want to punch rude people in the face all day. LOL

I usually find cheaper gifts the weeks before but I just paid $57 for games that are normally $80 to find them on black Friday for $27. I'm so mad!!!!

I've never shopped Black Friday. Online or in person. I used to work retail and it was just a nightmare to work and would be no fun for me with my impatience for crowds and people bumping into you without even acknowledging they've done so. I could get into the online shopping but I should try to avoid it because I'm just too broke.

Have fun to all people who enjoy it.
