The question is simple enough: have you? I haven't, and I don't think I ever want to. Camping out overnight in front of a store for a simple present... doesn't sound like it's worth it to me.

Well obviously people are not posting in this yet because they are, ha ha ha. Seriously though, I never have... I think it is insane.

We went to Best Buy on Wednesday to kill time before lunch and there was already a group with a tent set up next to the front door. WTF? There is NOTHING that they had offered that would be worth spending Thanksgiving in line, in a tent.

Now, granted, if they had some super amazing deal that was like 80% off, then I might consider it... depending on the item. (it would have to be big)

alexanyways : Black Friday is an American tradition that takes place the day after Thanksgiving (today). During it, stores open at like, 3am with prices, like, halfed (I read in an ad that Halo: Reach at Wal-Mart was only $20). The thing is, people line up around the block the night before, and people have literately DIED from being crushed by people rushing into the store.

We don't have a tradition like Black Friday where I live in but if we had I would pass it. I don't like crowd places, and people can sometimes act as if they were crazy in such situations. I remember I went to a big sale once and I hated it. Place was a mess, vendors were lost, people act as if it was the end of the world. It was a terrible experience and I don't intend to repeat it never again

NEVER in a million years! First of all, I can't even wake up that early! My limit is 6:00 am. Sure, I could camp out there, but then I wouldn't have the comfort of my bed, and plus, I still wouldn't be able to wake up early enough. And there is NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING that I would want on Black Friday that would cause me to participate in it. (I bet in a few years I will. XP lol)

I only shop for electronics, but thank God I don't shop on Black Friday. I just heard on the news that one man was camping in front of my local Best Buy since Tuesday.

I actually did last year and this year. Didn't go nuts about it though. I went just to see if there is really anything worth buying. I'm not a money spender, so if it isn't something that I need or if it past my imaginary college budget limit in my head, I would not buy it. It's a funny experience to see at times, seeing so many people lining up to huge department stores. As for the waking up early, the key is just to have good amounts of sleep before that day.

Oh, I actually got a watch for free this year.

Why would I feel the need to when I'm just asking for money this Christmas? I'm gonna buy a PS3 with all the money I get. I'd love to see that fight that broke out over dish towels at the local Wal-Mart, though...

Absolutely not, and I don't intend to. I went once to Target just to see what the lines were like and they were wrapped around the store! And this Target is big!

Warning: what follows could be considered a rage induced post.

No I did not go shopping on Black Friday. Instead I did something that could be potentially worse than shopping on Black Friday: working on Black Friday. In a mall food court. Supplying food for the hungry shoppers. So yes, I was down in the trenches keeping those hungry barbarians at bay. It was absolute madness!!

(rage induced insanity: please standby)

So, in short, don't feel sorry for those who missed out on the crazy deals. Feel sorry for those who worked to supply those crazy deals.

This has been another opinion/rant courtesy of an honest guy seeking justice in a world gone mad.

You silly americans and your sillyness.
We dont have a thanksgiving here in Australia so no, I have never been to one of these sales of which you speak.
Even if we did, I think it's absolutely insane to go through all that hassle for a few bucks off something, cause that's all it sounds like.
I'm sure you can get just as good deals or better if you just watch all the different sales there are during the year

I skipped Black Friday and went for Cyber Monday. Less stress and the deals are better in my opinion. Sure, you can get money off of some item, but the black friday deals aren't on the actual good quality products....

Not this year. I skipped both Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There were some good deals before then, and I didn't see anything worth stressing out over. Last year, I didn't really go with Black Friday, and went with Cyber Monday. Black Friday often ends up being a waste of time, unless you're willing to wake up super early, which isn't what I'd usually do, even for sales like that.

No! I would NEVER get involved in that! I'd most likely get trampled to death since I'm not the tallest person! I heard a story from someone who had to work on that day about how she couldn't even get in until she told the people waiting that she WORKED there and if she didn't get through, they couldn't get in! And there was a story on the news how this couple waited out side a store a week before just to beat some guy who was always first! That's just ridiculous!

DarkHyren : You Aussies and your... kangaroos.

No, really, people that do major Christmas shopping can save hundreds of dollars on that day. It's the start of the holiday season (the day after Thanksgiving) because the next holidays are Hannakuh (sp ) and Christmas and all that crap.

I can't say I ever have or ever will. Why? 'Cause of a few reasons
A) It seems like pure madness
B) I have no money
C) My parents try to avoid stores on Black Friday
D) You can probably find better deals on the internet
