I sometimes go out on Black friday. Thanks for the heads up. The on line shopping is great that day too. Black friday specials, teri.

Oh no ... They have the bias tape makers at fourty dollars off.

No way, no how. I am not going out on Black Friday. I am not into crowds and am also not really into shopping, Unless it is fabric!!!!

Goodness Gracious, WE ARE IN THE MAJORITY. I thought I was in the minority when it comes to Black Friday shopping. It's definitely not my thing for the exact same reasons others have stated!!!

Enjoy it if you do it and be SMART/ be safe.

i dont go out on black friday but when i was in jo annns the other day the manager told me that if you have a cricut machine ( which i do ) they are going to mark the cartridges down to 28.88 the day after Christmas
she said there might be a few that will cost more but majority of them will be on sale

Hi, I agree with you all. It's too crazy and for what? I think people are cutting back anyway and will take their time and shop around, not just jump at the one day specials.

Don't do BF. Too crazy and we don't really exchange gifts other than what we really need ie; clothes, boots, gloves, thermals, coats. We just don't have money for extras or 'toys' we don't need or want.

No way, Hosea!! I'll be snug in my bed, not standing in a long cold, and maybe wet line!!! :D :D And I know that some of those electronics are not all people expect them to be, but are often a stripped down model that may not be apparent in the frenzy!! Some people enjoy it, so I'm wishing them lots of luck in finding real bargains.

Most of the things that people go for on Black Friday are toys and electronics. I don't need to buy any toys and I have all the electronics I want. Got my mini laptop, so I'm good!

Never have done Black Friday here either. Even when kids were little I did not go out on BF. Nothing out there that great a deal to face the crazy crowds and people. Some years I was able to do all my shopping for them on line as they got older. Sure beats getting out in the crowds. Most on line stores even run free shipping during holiday season so even a better deal for me.
