Black Friday - Are you ready?

[Iris Girl]

No shopping for me black friday and if I didn't work I would not be out at all.

My Black Friday shopping is from the comfort of my home. I ordered two rolls of batting and Kona solids from Joann's today. I don't see anything else in the flyer I need so probably won't even look at their website Friday.

I went last year! It will be my last black Friday shopping in-store! If I want anything I will do it all online this year! It's not worth all the hassle!

I refuse to take part in Black Friday and I may just decide this year not to do any of my shopping at stores that insist on opening Thanksgiving day for the same craziness. Maybe if more people stood up and do this, things would be different.

No black Friday for me. I am staying at home and working on my Christmas gifts. I went today and the traffic was rough, and since we have a snowstorm coming our way I will being staying in tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving to all

I do not shop on black friday or thanksgiving day either. Years ago stores were closed for the holiday and they should get back to doing that.

I have zero plans to go out shopping on Black Friday. There is nothing that I need to get. I have most of the Christmas shopping done - still have several things to get made or finished up. The few things that I have left to get won't be on sale anyway.

I am hoping to get some sewing done on quilts that day.

I so agree. I do not work Turkey day, but the store does open in the after noon toll 2 am friday I think. When people tell me they can't believe the store is open, I tell them if they stayed home we would make no money and not open next year...Do they listen....NOPE
Not looking forward to a double shift (for me thats 8 hours of pure ______ on friday, people get whiney and cranky and bring the kids who are even worse.

On a side note. I was told today that tents were set up at best buy and people were actually living in them waiting for the specials and with small kids...they are allowed to plug their generators in to the store outlets for electric and heat and use the store bathrooms for potty breaks... Come on people is it worth it? The help at best buy say the bargains are no better then presidents day sales...
Makes me want to run screaming into the nearest hole and pull the hole in after me.
