Are you a "Black Friday" fanatic?

[Chet]

I never did a Black Friday but I would shop on a slower day that followed, and do it really early on a weekday. Now I shop for no one but myself and that is seldom.

I'd rather be hung by the toes from a lamppost in the parking lot. I HATE crowds.

No, not at all. However, what we enjoy is watching the multiple YouTube videos of crazy sales as filmed by Ines who were there. Already bunch of shorts enjoy this first one...

You couldn't pay me to go into a retail store on Black Friday.

My son manages a Walmart here. They cancelled Black Fridays. They're gonna do online super-specials instead, with free delivery.

I'd dip in and out for $100K.

Actually, I'd do it for $50K, but that's my lowest offer.

Me and a friend use to go but it has been years! Too much pushing and shoving for me.

 

[Lilac]

Too many crazies out there shopping. No sale is worth it. No thank you!

 

[RadishRose]

Never.

 

[MarciKS]

Way back before "Black Friday" became a season, we actually enjoyed it for a few years as a kind of family thing. Used to spend Thanksgiving with a number of family groups all together in one place. It was a bit of a game to plan the shopping session from the ads and send folks off in different directions. The line holders would jump into the line as soon as we arrived at the store, etc. As folks got older and more spread out it just sort of faded away.

Personally, I don't mind the big crowds, it's kind of fun just being out in all of the hubbub. But, as I said, since it has become a whole season and not just a day, there's nothing special about it anymore.

Not at all. In fact I purposely avoid it. GMA has segments that sometimes reveal when its the best time to buy certain items. Often it is not on Black Friday.
