I can't wait til Black Friday. It's tradition on Thanksgiving to buy a million papers & make our battle plans. With me & probably 3 of my sister's going we can get stuff for each other & hit every place at once.
It's also smart to use ads at stores that will match them-if store X is featuring __ and store Y isn't then they'll most likely have it in stock with no crazies running you over.
It is a madhouse, and annoying at times but I like it.
The big thing this year seems to be places opening at midnight, I don't really think that'll be as fun as 4a.m.
I'm just hoping I get the day off, I've been wheeling & dealing for a month.
jmdt, you should wait until the Monday after, that's "Black Monday" when there are tons of great deals everywhere online.
