If you want one of those TV's you better get to that store at least an hour ahead of time to get in line for the door...else you may go home emptyhanded. The larger deeply discounted items like that are the first to go, and it's a mad rush to even get to them through the isle and crowd of people trying to snatch. These sales are not a pretty thing. IF I go this year...I'm thinking of wearing body armor

Trust me get there long before an hour ahead of time. Ive seen lines starting at 1 am for somethings

Depends whether she is in a large city or not. I have been to a lot of the sales here in my local area, small town, and it's an hour ahead. I guess I did not take that into account for the cities, as it would be a longer wait for the door, due to more people. Thanks for correcting that.

be very careful. about 2 years ago a guy got killed at a Walmart when they opened the doors. People swarmed the doors knocking one down ontop of an empolyee and then just walked on the door crushing him. Crazy!!! No item is worth that for me. I just dont understand how people can get that crazy as to do that and not even think about it.

My shopping list says....

Stay home on that day!

Well, I need to order one last thing on Amazon. It'll cost less than $5. Maybe I'll order it that day. I "could" find a local source, but there is no way I'm going to go prowl for it.

I can get the rest of the things I need to buy for Christmas at the grocery store (fruit & candy).

The stuff I bought should be delivered this week and next week, I'd imagine. I ordered everything through Amazon, the world's biggest shopping mall.

That's happened quite a few times at a number of different shops in the US.

Folks get injured by the crowds every year at these things - tramplings, getting knocked down, etc.

It's ridiculous. I like my tv, but no television is worth trampling someone.

Won't be shopping at all, not Black Friday or otherwise. So, I will be avoiding the crowds except for necessary feed and grocery trips.

I can't wait to look at the flyers either.

I'm hoping to go out, unless it snows.

I stay away from the Black Friday crazies. Besides, I'm done with the Christmas shopping except for stocking stuffers.

We usually spend the day after Thanksgiving putting up the tree and decorating the house. Leftovers are the normal evening meal. If we have any energy left we may watch our first Christmas movie of the season. Hmmmmm.... which one to watch first?
