Is ANYONE here going to go holiday shopping today?

I was, but wimped out when I saw all the cars in the mall parking lot.

Was also going to hit Walmart at 5 am, but when I found the Friday am sale price on the 2 items I wanted online, I just ordered them online.

I wasn't trying to educate anyone, just pointing out what I learned looking at the circular online. Most of the mega sale items were only available at the brick & mortar stores, like the $400 laptop, the $4 coffeemaker, etc.

i basically never shop on black friday

[MarkL444]

why go shopping now when you can do it all 2 days before christmas?

This was my first and last attempt at shopping on Black Friday.

Best Buy was nuts. Don't go there today unless you absolutely must make some sort of purchase that can't wait until later this weekend.

I tried last year, so not worth it. If you MUST get your shopping done before December, go tomorrow.

Anyway, I was informed that this is National Buy Nothing day if you're anti-corporation.

I am home for Thanksgiving. I told my mom and sister what I wanted them to buy for me last night before they went to bed. I went out and got smashed with old friends. Woke up today around 3 and had 8 new shirts for work waiting for me. They didn't fit so I sent my mom back to the store to exchange them and went back to sleep.

Muwahahah.

The key to the day after Thanksgiving is to check out the sales flyers ahead of time, pick out what you want (some great sales today) and arrive when they open at 6 or 7 am. Grab what you want and check out within 1/2 hour. No check out lines, got your stuff, go home.
