I really hate to be in large crouds and black friday omg no way I could never stand it people are rude and crude. my mother convinced me to go with her once, now for some reason no one in the family will ask me to go shopping with them on black friday, LOL I just have no patience for rude people and the long long wayyyy too long lines. the pushing shoving and people ready to kill for a bargain is just not my idea of a fun shoping trip.

Online shopping is the only way to do it!  Many of the same deals are available, and the ones that aren't would be sold out anyway...

I worked in a Walmart many years ago. Black Friday is absolutely crazy. I've seen women pushing other people over, with no regard for their safety or the possibility of being sued. I've seen women yank merchandise right out of other shoppers' hands. I'm surprised these people are beat up or worse for their rudeness and negligence. I wouldn't be caught dead in any store on Black Friday, aside from a nearby convenience store.

There is no way i risk my life shopping on Black Friday,,by the time Black Friday comes along im all done with shopping except for stocking stuffers and small odds and ends that are for those "In case somebody shows up i didnt expect" and those are usually wallets and hand towels or something like that. So while the rest of the country is out going nuts at the malls,,,im calmly trimming the tree and sipping on hot cammomile and lavendar tea,,sorry people,,

It's INSANE!  Its like taking your life in your own hands!!!  People are crazy (and rude).  It just isn't worth it.  I love a good bargain but you have to be Mad Max to accomplish anything!

My teen boys and I have a blast on blace Friday.  It's become a tradition and we get great deals too!

I went out on Black Friday once. The people were insane pushing, shoving, long line at the register, traffic backed up forever. I ask God to please get me home in one piece and He would never catch me out there again. He did and I've kept my promise. I plan to keep it this year too. Besides I have finish my shopping already.

Maybe I'll try the internet this year, but I love being out in the crowds.  If only for a little while!  

By Joanna on Friday

Don't like the crowds and pushing!!  Rather spend an extra couple of dollars to purchase later.  There are great deals on the internet, that is where I will be doing my shopping!!

By anonymous on Friday

unless there's really a extra great bargain..then yes

By Anna on Friday

I want to go out and shop on Black Friday because I love getting good deals - but I really hate crowds.  And since there's no way I'm getting up early just to go shopping, I'm afraid that whatever I would want to buy would be sold out already.  I figure paying the extra money for an item is worth it if it reduces my stress.  :)

I buy a lot of my Christmas gifts at wonderful discounts while visiting with my shopping buddy.  I check out all the stores that I shop at and check a few others before Thanksgiving.  I make up my list even checking discounts on drugs.  Then we stop at one of the restaurants that have specials for Black Friday shoppers,..Sharyn on Thursday

I enjoy making a day out of it, and then back home for some Thanksgiving leftovers for dinner.

I have been doing it for 8 yrs. The last two ive made my fiance go with me .It*s fun and we both enjoy it!

I love to get out early on black Friday & find the bargains early in the morning & leave my husband at home. I suprise him at XMAS with all the fun bargains I found & mail things to my mom & brother in Colorado as a suprise too, that's what makes XMAS such fun!

By Terri on Thursday

I got up at 3 am last year and went shopping with my oldest daughter.  We couldn't believe how busy it was already.  Folks in the check out line were cheerful and patient which was nice.  We got some super deals.  We are planning on going again this year.  I always make sure I thank those retail folks at the register.

By Liz on Thursday

We always used to go as a family when I was growing up.  Each of us had a rubermaid bin in the van to hide our gifts in.  So part of the fun was not just shopping for the the item, but getting it back to the car without being seen by a family member. Even now that I'm an adult it's like a fun game on Black Friday to go out and get as much of my Christmas shopping done as possible.

By Kate on Thursday

I love getting a chance to get a "deal," and start obsessing over what I need to get the minute the first Black Friday ad comes out a few weeks early.  I get excited and nervous both!  Then, if (when) I miss out on a deal, I'm almost crushed.  I love it AND I hate it!!

By P on Thursday

Unless it's a really good deal on something, I won't be out there. I pray for the ones who have to work on that day. I remember it all too well!!!

By LESLIE on Thursday

I have done it twice before and that was ONLY because it was a really good deal. My daughter wants a laptop for Christmas this year so if I can find a REALLY good deal on one on Black Friday then I will be standing in line with the other crazy folks.:) If not,then I will be at home enjoying my one day off!

By LESLIE on Thursday

I love Black Friday but I try not to go with any "MUST HAVE" items. This year, I'll have a list of about 15 wanna-haves, and get what I can get. I don't shove or push and pull for stuff, but I do try to be smart and plan carefully. I also used to work retail, so I try to take it easy on the employees. They are just doing their jobs and it's so difficult that day in particular.
