Who is going shopping on "Black Friday?"

Janet · 11-24-2008, 06:09 AM

I went once with my best friend, her daughter, sister and sister-in-law. We had the best time. I don't even like to shop but I had a blast. We got up I think around 4 AM and headed to the stores in another city with all our ads with us.

They had great sales and it was when Ricky was really young so we all got great deals on toys and things like that for our kids. We didn't get home until after 10:00 that night.
But our vehciles were loaded.

We only have a small JC Penney's store and Wal-mart that are near enough to get the specials unless we want to drive 100 miles so I'll be staying home. It's just not worth it to me. We went to Wal-mart years ago and, we did get some good buys, but it was soooo crowded, people were rude, and you couldn't get through the aisles.

We've been going the last couple years just because there is nothing to do at my in-laws. It hasn't been too bad, but maybe that's because we're not really looking for anything. Usually we're just giving them ideas for things to get us. I usually have all my shopping done by this time of year anyway & this year is no different. I finished up things yesterday except my one aunt & grandma, but I know what they are getting & where to get it. I also have to order my hubby a few things off amazon. But then i'm done & free to enjoy the holiday season.

I've never tried it and probably never will. I'm an impulse shopper and would definitely be pressured into buying TOO much with the lower prices. The last two years, I have taken MIL to one stand-alone clothing store to help her shop for the kids, but it's never crowded.
