Every year it gets worse. Now this year people are already camping outside of Bestbuy. I couldn't believe it.

It's all mouthbreathers. In this day and age anything you want you can get a better deal online shipped to your house for free.

Don't like what's happening with black Friday becoming the black Thrusday. Takes away from both Thanksgiving and the black Friday tradition IMO.

Stores being open on Thanksgiving is blah to me.

You hear the ad for Target now.

"our stores will be open 24 hours so you don't have to stand and wait outside"

I would never camp out just for some deals, I would rather spend a couple hundred extra for a tv then camp out for days in front of Best Buy. I am staying away from stores on Friday and will watch football.

In the past, I have always found someone else to stand in line for me. Throw him a few bucks, and meet him there when the doors open.
But it had to be for something that was a great deal.
Now I find myself Not needing anything... Have all the TV's all the gadget's etc...

Looking at some of these sales, I'm not impressed .

I love it.

I don't stand in line or anything and they would have to be giving the stuff away for free before I would even consider it.

But just getting out there seeing the crowds, going out to eat, and the atmosphere of it all is fun.
The whole day has a new, fresh Christmas feel to it.

Black Friday=====Fucking stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can get better deals on semi warm items and things that have fallen off the truck or even online if I put effort into it....

All the fools who camp out have no fucking life and are happy following all the other fools...

I do most of my Christmas shopping the week after Christmas; far better deals.

Have never went out on black Friday shopping but I must say I do enjoy looking through the ads at the different deals. I'd say it's been a solid 4 years since there's actually been legit black Friday sales.

Sheeple, pure and simple. If those people waiting 30 hours in line for the newest video game system or 'doorbuster deal' put half the effort into their school or work, (or their family for that matter) they would be much better off. Shows how fickle and greedy the fringes of society are.

Cyber Monday outsells Black Friday. Many deals you can't get in the stores, and come with FREE shipping.
