If you are/were in the States would you go out on Black Friday?
My parents always dragged me out of bed like at 4 in the morning to go shopping on Black Friday. This year, they told me that they are going to open the stores on Thanksgiving at night. They are still going to get up early on Friday but they refused to go shopping on Thanksgiving.
So did you or do you go shopping on Black Friday?
Re: If you are/were in the States would you go out on Black Friday?
I've never gone shopping on Black Friday. After the guy got trampled to death at Walmart a few years ago, I don't think I ever will. No cheap TV is worth my life or anyone else's. It's a shame that Black Friday deals have pushed people to act so badly that it results in death, but it has, and I really want no part of it.
Besides, I prefer to do the bulk of my Christmas shopping online while I'm in my PJs :-)
I am an online shopper and I've bought a few things on Black Friday on Amazon (they always have some super cheap DVDs).
One year, DH and I went out on Black Friday just to see what it was like. We'd been living overseas for a few years and were pretty entertained by the whole thing. But yes, the trampling that happened the next year pretty much killed any amusement we had from it. I think we went to Best Buy or something since we wanted a couple things for ourselves. It was easier for us to just stay up until 4am rather than get up at 4am so we went out with friends, went shopping, bought almost nothing and then went to bed.

I'm going! I don't typically get up really early and go. I just go in the morning and see what is out there. Since I didn't go last year I am really looking forward to going. Two years ago when DH flew to see me for Thanksgiving we went out at stood outside at best buy from 11:30pm till they open the doors at 5:30am?. The lines were so long inside to collect your stuff and then to check out that we didn't get out of there till 8:30am. I told him I would never do that again.
I have a list of stuff I'm looking to get. Mostly small kitchen appliances that I would like for the apartment. I think I might start out at Target since it opens at midnight. Then the rest I'll probably won't go out till after 9am.

I don't understand Black Friday at all - Holidays are for spending time with family and friends not shopping - i think its actually really sad that instead of all sitting around in a food induced comas watching movies together people go out or because they went out they sleep the day away.
This will be my first Thanksgiving in the US and you couldn't pay me money to go out that late and shop!
