Have you Ever Shopped on BLACK FRIDAY?

Wowzer, that is outrageous. It's madness I tell you!

Tomorrow we can have fun on the forum relating all the news stories about shoppers trampling and beating each other up.

Cant wait till I read about a shopper getting shot over an x-box.
 

I was reading up on what black Friday is all about, seems quite odd. Black Friday to me is when a Friday falls on the 13th of the month.
 
Oz and Di, scoot over a bit and make room for me on that soapbox! Way back in the olden days (about 25 years ago) shopping on Black Friday was fun. Some stores opened as early as 6 am, but people weren't as hostile and aggressive then, and there weren't lines waiting to get in, either, because most of them were still home in bed! I once went out early to get one of only five VCRs being offered for $50; it was in the days when they cost at least $300. Got mine because I was fourth in line, then went home. From what I've seen on the news in recent years, there's not a bargain big enough to risk my life!
 
I shopped on black Friday. I sat right here and ordered a game camera from Amazon. I didn't get trampled by anyone either, though I don't think anything like that would happen around here.
 
Well, the older I get, the less I can handle stress, so its nearly all online shopping for me.

The one and only time I went early Black Friday shopping was the time we needed a new TV for a bedroom...bought the TV, got it home and hooked up, there was a line right down the middle of the screen (probably a second), we just kept it...too big of a hassle to return...lesson learned.
