Who is going shopping on "Black Friday?"

DianaB · 11-24-2008, 07:44 AM

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.

I never go because I can't handle the crowds. My daughters sometimes go, and they said people actually fight over things. Not for me lol

I got a 19" flat screen, LED, HDTV in Walmart about a month ago for about $225.
I bet they're on sale for even less now. It's a Panasonic and is just fine.
