Black Friday Shoppers

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

No, I did not. I never plan to either.

I didn't, but my mom and I have gone out on Black Friday a couple of years. \:D/ It's crazy busy, but a lot of fun!

Not me. I never go shopping on Black Friday. The only shopping I did was for groceries and that was after I took my truck in for an oil change.

i've never gone.. plus i'm saving my money right now but it sounds like a really super fun rat race! my aunt and uncle shopped ALL night! I think that would be cool! I cant wait till I'm old enough to drive myself. My parents went earlier today but not very early so I wonder if they'll find anything....

Well, if I hadn't been with my cousin's all day I would've forced my mom to take me to all the bookstores... :- Books and music, of course. :inlove:

I was one of the Black Friday shoppers! I feel asleep at 10pm Thanksgiving night, woke up at 1:30 am and waited patiently for 6am to arrive. It FINALLY came. I shopped at Best Buy, Toys"R"Us, Sears, Kohls, Target, RadioShack, Agape Booksellers, Office Depot, Big Lots, Family Dollar and more. In a way, I pulled an allnighter. \:D/

Never! I would probably hurt someone if I got up so early. Yeah. Not a morning person. Well, kind of a Crabby Morning Person.

I do all my shopping on Amazon. \:D/

We ended up going to Sam's Club and Odd Lots (I refuse to call it Big Lots! Odd Lots was a better name! :x) later in the day, but that was just because some other friends wanted to go. Actually my wife had to be at work at 3:45am and she may have done some shopping after she got off, I don't know, I was home playing video games. \:D/

I'm with those who say they don't understand that mindset. I perfer to shop after midnight, because everyone else is in bed. Why fight the crazed mobs?

I work in retail, but thankfully we're not one of the "big stops" for people on that day. Also thankfully, I didn't have to be at work at 6 am like I did last year.
