I don't really know why - I would guess there are fabulous sales.

Is anyone going to tackle the crowds this year?
Why Black Friday??

If I remember right...some of the stores are operating in the 'red' (in debt), but on this day, the day after Thanksgiving when everyone is out and shopping for the best deals, it puts the stores back in the 'black' and make more of a profit.


Isn't this right ladies???? I'm sure someone could explain it better...lol

We went. It wasn't really a lot of fun. We go to this town about an hour a way from my in-laws house. I got car sick on the ride there. Then we went to Bed Bath & Beyond. It was crowded but not too bad. I took Logan in with us in a carrier, everyone loved him. Then we went to target. I took Logan with & got kicked out. The lady was pretty rude about it & followed me to make sure I left. It was just an absolute mad house. It's usually not that crowded down there, but this year was just crazy.

I can't believe you go kicked out.

Janet, thanks for telling me, I guess I never paid attention before.

Janet,
The Garmin 250 is good. I don't know about the 200, but if it talks to you as well as showing the directions, it will be fine. The only thing is that you can't use the radio because the Garmin's volume isn't loud enough. I run mine through the radio and transfer audiobooks or music onto it's mp3. The music stops and the spoken directions are given, then the music goes back on. Check out the 200 for that feature, otherwise it's pretty boring driving without the radio.

Targets are sketchy. Sometimes it's fine sometimes it's not. I think it depends how crowded they are.
