I tried doing this as a poll but it wouldn't work for some reason.
So, are you going shopping on Black Friday? Online or in stores? Early or later in the day? Any certain deals you are going after?

Re: Black Friday
Unless I find a really good deal on something, I think I'm going shopping later in the day. I have most of my Christmas shopping done so there isn't too much I need to shop for. I'm keeping my eye open for online deals but haven't seen anything that I want yet.

Depends on the ads. We really want/need some new TVs, so if there is a killer deal I will make it out for that.
No way! I've never been a Black Friday shopper, but this year the Iron Bowl (Alabama vs. Auburn - bigger than the Super Bowl in AL) is on Black Friday. I'm not leaving my TV the entire day! WAR EAGLE!!!!

Amelia--not going to the game this year, and I am so irritated about it being on Friday, it messes up my whole tradition. What do you think about the Friday game? And you are so right--it is bigger than the super bowl in Alabama.
I go shopping with my mom every year--we go all day long. early am until dark. My dad, brothers, and now H stay at home and hang the outside lights so when my mom and I pull up, the house is all lit up, and they carry in all the packages.
This year I'm not sure what I will do since the Iron Bowl is right smack in the middle of the day. I can NOT miss it--I will likely be in a bar/restaurant watching the game, taking a break from shopping.
ROLL TIDE ROLL!
I have never shopped black friday, but in high school and college I worked it for 7 years straight! Toys R Us, Old Navy, and TGI Fridays. Craziness!
Working it all those years is part of why I'm not sure if I want to shop.
We go out in later in the afternoon, mostly just to people-watch.
I'll check out the Cyber Monday deals, too. I don't think I'll be worrying about the online BF stuff.
I think it completely SUCKS that it's on Friday. I heard the contract is for the next 5 years or something like that. I want my traditional Saturday evening game back!!! Whoever decided that Black Friday was a good idea needs to get punched. The economy in AL is already bad enough, now they're just discouraging people from shopping even more!
Plus, I spend every Thanksgiving in Nashville with my family, now I won't be able to go to the game for awhile, PLUS I won't get to watch the game with my friends. Double suck. My brother is going, but he's a student there. He's had this whole week off to spend in TN so he'll just leave Thursday morning, no big deal to him. Me on the other hand, I have to choose between seeing family and football.
I go out every year. This year I'm going with my mom. We'll be hitting up Best Buy very early - I'm going to try to get a laptop they have there.
Mom is looking for an IPod Touch - so we're not sure if we'll drop by Target or Walmart later for those.
After the big ticket items we'll head to a mall somewhere near to browse around there. I love going out Black Friday shopping.
I always went with my mom and last year Mike joined us. It will be the three of us again. We really like the comeraderie we've experienced (and the deals), but I know that isn't always the case in most locations. Mike said he isn't leaving our apt before 4 am, yeah we like to hit the stores early. Then we break for breakfast after a couple hours, continue on for a few hours and have lunch.
