| Black Friday Shoppers! Sooooo did anyone do any Black Friday shopping? Bf and I went to Best Buy. We arrived at 10:15 and the line was already wrapped around the back of the building. I felt better after seeing tons of people show up late and the line behind us got pretty long. We weren't there for anything crazy like a TV, just some videogames that were going to be $35, instead of $60. We got in the store right at midnight and I asked an employee where the videogames were. Hurried over there because lots of people were actually full out running, and I spotted a Wii U, the new Nintendo console Tony has been wanting!!!! It was the last one left so I grabbed it while bf was grabbing the games he wanted. He didn't think he would get a Wii U before Christmas because it's been sold out everywhere..so I got it for him! He is SO excited!!!! Check out didnt take long and the cashier said they told everyone there wouldnt be any Wii U's for sale tonight...I guess one was hiding and I spotted it!! Lucky us! What deals did y'all score? Or am I the only crazy YTer that was out there tonight?

| No Black Friday shopping for me Glad you scored with the Wii U for Tony. My son and DIL went to the early sales that started at 8pm and stood in line for a laptop that Kerra is getting from The guy in the red suit.

| No......I am too old for all that....dont like moving that fast anymore! Besides, I have all my shopping already done...do it all year when the sales come up...get just as good mark offs, and in some cases, better than what is offered on Black Friday...I got a 52 inch flat screen TV (Samsung) for $280.00 back in ...?? September ??? something around Labor Day Sale ???...cant remember! Anyway, the last time I stood in a line outside a store to get in on a sale was "Mid-Night March Madness" back in 1972!! I am into simple and quick and easy and NO crowds and NO TRAFFIC!!! I shop on line and get super deals, with free shipping! Loving it!! |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | I do not do Black Friday. Worked retail can't do it. Also I am protesting the opening on Thanksgiving. Retail workers only get a few days off a year with their families. Now they are messing with one of them. Not right. But that is just me.

| I agree. My mom works at Walmart. The only holiday she has off is Christmas.

| Congrats on the Wii find! You all got what you went for and sounds like you kind of enjoyed it all! I've never gone to those kind of sales and hate lines! Today, I slept until 9:24 a.m., had a late, late breakfast and did make-up/hair as usual and am going to lounge all day on the couch and take a leisurely walk with Tibbe later today. I hate the huge lines of stopngo traffic and lack of parking at the mall on Black Friday. Ohmygoodness, the parking is usually only on the last tier all day and evening! If you are lucky enough to find a spot close, it is fun once you get inside but not if you are buying anything. The lines are pretty brutal at the register, even in Macy's, etc. So, I'm going to wait until the crowds are gone and shop at a more relaxed pace. Yawn! Can't wait to see the evening news and stories of the mobs crowding everywhere, all the traffic, etc. - love watching those. It says Christmas Season is officially here!

| Funny thing is we got parking right at the front, granted I have disabled parking pass and the longest line we waited in was maybe 5 minutes.

| This was my thinking as well. If there was anything I wanted, I would just wait until morning. In fact, I'm "boycotting" Target (one of my fav places) until Dec 1st because they opened on Thanksgiving Day. I did do some online shopping. Forever 21 had some good deals, 50% off clearance items. And I also got a jacket from an online boutique that's very similar to a Banana Republic jacket that ive been eyeing but is going for twice as much. Crowds and craziness just isn't for this girl. The best part, I cuddled and gave Kaji a back massage while shopping. Can't beat that!!

| Because of my anxiety I can't although i really wanted to go to Petsmart at 7am when they opened but my mom didn't want to take me so I didn't get to go. I think it is getting way to out of hand and way to many people get hurt.
