I was thinking after reading the Thanksgiving post that Black Friday isn't too far away. I love shopping black friday and getting all the deals. I do probably 80% of my Christmas shopping in those 24 hours.
Do you shop black friday?
If so, what time do you go out?
Anything you are hoping will be on sale this year?
If you go who do you go with?
If you don't go out..... why not?
What is the craziest thing you have seen during black friday shopping?

I don't go. I went once, and that was enough for me! People are crazy, it's just not worth it to me just to save a few dollars. Of course maybe in the future when they are older and want more expensive items/electronics I could be convinced to join all the crazies in my area. I'm already about halfway done shopping, but I didn't go overboard this year. Both girls are getting 3 gifts plus their stockings.

We don't really have black friday here though it seems like we are slowly heading in that direction. We don't do much in the way of big gifts, especially things like electronics, so it doesn't have much appeal to me. It would have to be a truly outstanding deal on a deeply desired item to have me out shopping in the wee hours of the morning. Actually, I'd just send dh.

Do you shop black friday? Hell yeah!!
If so, what time do you go out? Midnight
Anything you are hoping will be on sale this year? Not at the moment. Haven't really thought about it.
If you go who do you go with? My DH and sister usually
If you don't go out..... why not?
What is the craziest thing you have seen during black friday shopping? The year I was preggo with Levi, DH and I were in Walmart getting a flat screen and there were kids huffing Duster right out in public! They were so high, they pretty much screamed "arrest me." Not really black Friday related but pretty stupid.

DH and I went last year. (We took Colleen, too, which got us some dirty looks.) We only went because we were getting a new TV. If there's something specific we want, we will go again, but I won't go just because.

I don't do it. I would rather poke my eyeballs out with my tweezers.
I don't like shopping. I love to BUY stuff! I like organization when I shop, so I don't even do the Marshalls or TJ Maxx.
Even thinking about it makes me start sweating!

I also don't do black friday shopping. It's too crowded, the things you want are never available and I have found that you can find some pretty great deals through out the rest of December as well. I will do Cyber Monday, though.

I don't do black friday. I would rather pay full price for whatever it is or order it on amazon. People are crazy on that friday. Usually if there is something that we really wanted, we would go out in the evening to see if it's still there. 9 out of 10 times it's still there. Otherwise, we barricade ourselves in our house for the day watching movies.
