Black Friday!

[chocolategoddes]

I love Black Friday! I honestly get a rush from shopping on BF! I don't know what it is... the sales? the chaos? the feast from the day before?
It just gives me some sort of high!

To give up time with your family to MAYBE get $50 off a $200 camera is disgusting to me. In the years I've worked Black Friday I've seen ppl fight each other over simple items. The size of the crowds can bring out the nasty sides of people. It can be down right scary. The only upside I can think of is the store making its sales goals for the day and because of the steady stream of customers the day goes by quickly.

I agree. In general, money just brings the ugly out of people. It shocks me how nasty people can get over sales, free things, etc. Like trampling over people and getting into fights. Over what? It's one thing to want to save money on things like rent, bills, but for a $20 DVD player or $5 off an iPod? All inessential items. No thanks. I'll save myself the anxiety.

no =( because my mom will neer bring me because she doesn't want to get caught up in the hype. but have tons o fun!

I see a lot of things I want on Black Friday, but honestly, I doubt I'll go out and get them. And if I do, I'm going to wait until after 12 when all the "Door Busters" are done LOL. Now Cyber Monday? I'm ALL over that. No chance of getting trampled!

Nope. No deal is worth dealing with that chaos.

I think I'm gonna do some Black Friday shopping online! Nothing like being in the comforts of my own home, no crazy shoppers, no waking up early. =)

Not a big fan of shopping on Black Friday either--more so when I have to work on the actual day, which I have to do this week. I get stressed out just trying to find parking on top of fending off the crowds, lol.

Lucky for me I've already finished my Christmas shopping. Yay!

2moro I'm just gonna walk by Best Buy near my house to laugh at all the people who line up to the store at like 11am on THANKSGIVING DAY! Is it really that serious to save $50 on a PS3? SMH

 

[forevernars]

To be honest this whole BF/Christmas stuff just ticks me off!!!! It's just a way for them to say hey spend all your money.

I have to work 11 to 5 in a clothing store at the mall. I've never worked a black friday before, I'm pretty nervous.

Hope everyone gets some great deals though!

 

[kariii]

Thank god for Online shopping. I already bought a computer with a great deal off Dell.. and I dont think I need much else.

 

[MsHielo]

No crazy super-early in the morning stuff for me - none of the deals have really been worth it for me the past few years. My dad and I will probably check things out a little later on, after most of the "waiting for a sale since Thanksgiving Day" crowd has dispersed. Thankfully, my Christmas shopping's already done, so there isn't an urge to make sure I get a good deal for someone else - things are far more relaxed.

 

[DILLIGAF]

When I got to work Wednesday at 9pm there were already ppl lined up in front of Best Buy. SMH

 

[bellaboomboom]

Well here it is Black Friday and I am at work - working hard as you can see

hehe! Anyway I get off at 1:00 so that is not so bad. Coming home from Thanksgiving dinner last night, around 7 p.m., we passed our local Best Buy and there were already about 30 people there standing in line! I have never done that and don't suspect that I ever will. I hate being cold and it was quite chilly last night!

with the economy in the states the way it is, black friday is kind of pointless this year. stores have been giving these same deals, and better, all year and i'm sure they'll continue to up until the end of december.

plus, fighting the crowds and waking up at midnight just isn't worth the fifty bucks you might save on a five hundred dollar shopping bill.

I agree! My sanity is definitely worth more than the savings I could possibly get!!

 

[Vixxan]

I'm not going out there. Black Friday seems to bring out the worst in people. I don't want to save money that bad. I'm just going to stay home where it is safe. Good luck to those who decide to brave the madness.

ok Black Friday is a time where u really have to look around!! NO lie
I see laptops on sale for $500 -_- which to me isn't really a sale, then today I go to some random store, the same laptop I bought was on sale for $200 smh.
But you know something, my friend and I worked at a store ( won't say name) and all the y would do is jack up the prices, then slash the prices again to make it seem like a sale and trust me, this is a very well known store
