My last Black Friday experience several years ago was a doozy
My daughter & I CAMPED out in front of BestBuy with about 1000 other ppl. We had a tent & the whole shebang. I was sore as hell for days after & 1/2 of what we went for was gone before we got into the store because of the crowd that rushed in from the sides of the line. It was horrible & I've vowed never ever to do it again.
I DO however use Fatwallet.com & there's some really good deals listed for different stores as well as cashback for online sales
