The crowds are too scary and psycho. I know that at like walmart people get injured and everything. I think I even read of people dying at stores because of getting trampled on. Unless it was like Dolce & Gabanna purses on sale for $10, it's really not worth it too me. I don't even like waking up early for work when I have to get up early! I do usually go out in the afternoon though, when all the crowds are dying out. Besides, It's usually just shopping for myself, and most of my stores have their sales all weekend or so, so theres no rush
