    Default Black Friday sales

    Who is going to the traditional morning after Thanksgiving day sales? I have been looking at the ads online and so far I have not seen anything that I would stand inline in the cold for. Most of what I have seen so far has been to close to regular sales prices to drag me out to them. Will anyone be braving the cold and the crowds on Black Friday?

    I'm going to the PX. They are giving out $20 gift cards, 10% off coupons and 15c/off per gallon gas coupons! I just hope they have some good sales

    I'll be going shopping on Black Friday, but not until 8 or 9 in the morning. Last year Old Navy had great online BF sales, so hopefully they will have the same this year.

    DH and DS LOVE to shop and I am sure they will drag myself and DD out at midnight and well into the early morning hours. They are just klike a couple of kids in a candy store when it comes to sales and shopping. We will most likely go down to Destin and do our shopping at the outlets there - it's their favorite.

    I'm looking for an Ipod Nano. My son wants the green one that costs $200. If I find a BF sale I will stand in line for it!

    DH gets that day off from work and he goes and does the shopping.
    He gets some great deals and doesn't mind doing it. I'm glad because the stores do have great deals but I couldnt' do it! LOL

    No way!!!! I would rather have a root canal! The crowds, the traffic, etc...to me, this day represents the "commercialization(sp?) of the holiday-something I personally am trying to get away from. But to those of you who enjoy it-Happy Shopping!

    I am 99% sure that we'll be going to Best Buy to get the girls MP3 players for $34.99.

    I have, in the past- gone. I also have gotten online bright and early and occasionally got the super deals that way (not the store giveaways, of course). It depends on what I see in the ads for that day, if I need something that is an exceptional deal, I'll go. If not, I'm stayin' home!

    You couldn't pay me enough to go. After all the years I worked in retail management and had no choice about Black Friday there's no way I'd go.
