I didn't think I was going to be crazy enough to go out but I did eventually. It was right around 4:30p.m. though so there weren't many people still out. Got my Christmas shopping done though!!!

I did not sleep Thursday night. Went to wal-mart at 4am to get a ps3. After I realized it was about 2% lines and 98% chaos, went home and to sleep LOL. Got my ps3 from bestbuy later friday.
PS: Any takers in NCAA 10, or Madden 10? :)

I did a weee bit of shopping.
I mostly did shopping online using Slickdeals.net
My wife and I also hitup the mall to do some shopping early on Friday. Bought some new luggage for crazy cheap for our trip to Thailand and Laos next feb.
Think there will be any good deals in Bangkok on Muggs haha
There was a hasbrotoyshop 20% off deal going on but i couldnt get it to work on Muggs :(

I bought so many Muggs in the past 4 months I did not have any money to buy my kids presents! But the way I see it, getting to stare at all of my Muggs is a gift enough : ) Needless to say I did not go out shopping on Black Friday.

I worked on Black Friday and it was crazy. People are coming to the post office these days wanting to send christmas gifts overseas and get really mad when I tell them that it's not gonna get to Romania by christmas if you send it November 28th by boat (which usually takes 4-6 weeks + delay caused by massive amount of mail during holidays).
So my black friday was mostly spent getting yelled at by europeans (often part english / part language I can't understand). I did buy "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" on DVD though.

After working retail for many years I saw first hand how hectic black Friday is. So since those days I have not woken up at 3 am. Online shopping is the way to go these days for me.

I sure did survive Black Friday - mostly because I went to Sea World for the day with my girlfriend instead of waiting in long lines for very poor discounts this year.... I buy most of my high-end electronics online at huge discounts, so I typically have no need to wait in lines, ever!

I spent last year's black friday waiting in line at best buy, and it was a horrible experience. It was almost freezing cold, and it even rained a bit. This year for my electronic needs I just shopped at Newegg. They had a 10% off already insane deals. I got a Sharp 46" 1080p 120hz LCD for 740 shipped without waiting in any lines. The TV is a xmas present for my parents :)
I had wished I went to a mall though, there were some pretty good deals on clothing.

I waited until after 11am and the crowds were not too bad, picked up a few Transformers and the new MMPR toys!
Did you survive Black Friday? Shop till you drop? Or be cheap and sleep?
I slept and wrote papers for classes. Still better than risking my life trying to get a deal somewhere.

Camped out at Best Buy with some friends... Got there @ 9:30 Thursday and froze my ass off for a few hours, only to not get the laptop I needed because the employee incorrectly answered a question of mine

I stayed up all night (April's plans were to stay up as well) then at 5 am (when Best Buy opened) I couldn't wake April up so I went to bed myself. Got up around 10 and then hit Best Buy and got the LAST video camera that we wanted.... (It did take a trip to a 2nd Best Buy to find it though) Shopped for a while longer that day and then went home to do some customizing.

I woke up at 3:30 to get to my local comic book store to make some purchases at their 50% off sale starting at 6am. Picked me up a ton of figures and books. After that I had to get to work ay 7am, work at a contracted computer shop inside Nebraska Furniture Mart, (if you live in Omaha or Kansas City, you already know all about it). We had one customer but the store had 200 people camp out overnight, filled up 8 parking lots at surrounding stores and backed up traffic in all directions for two miles. Awesome day of sitting in my shop watching band of brothers while outside my walls people were being torn apart for cheap chinese tv's....w00t

My fiance who just got her leg surgically repaired convinced me to take her to target. Let's just say that those little motorized carts do not do well in giant crazy crowds. Renee got stuck multiple times and flicked off once.

I was in line at Best Buy at 3:30 am and was done shopping at Best Buy, Target, and Wal-Mart by 7:30.
I had bought a tv 2 days before at Best Buy, so I walked away with 2 Blu ray players and a bunch of movies....and a toaster and crock pot for $3 each :)

I was up at 4 in the morning BUT I was driving my girlfriend to the airport and eventually just went back to bed.
I slept until noon Friday and went Shopping today.
All my favorite stores had weekend-long sales. I went shopping today.
( I tried to Christmas shop at a comic store and came out with three new comic books for myself, lol! Lesson learned, do not buy Christmas gifts at a comic shop! )

after a ridiculous 2 days of required binge drinking i went to work at my shady mall at 3 am. the majority of my day was spent either watching or breaking up fights. i was spit on by a crack head who i assume was a prostitute as well. i think she gave me the zombie virus. Niagara falls sucks.

Survived, but barely. Had more to do with the heart attack my Crimson Tide gave me that night vs. Auburn. But, got the oldest a DS and some other junk. Gotta love it.
Went to Wal-Mart, Frys, Target, Costco, finally Sam's Club for a 32" Vizio 720P HDTV.
Woo :D

I was pretty broke, but I was going to go to Toys R Us anyway. I drove by around 11:30 pm and the parking lot was insanely full! I said "forget that" and went home and ate some leftover dinner! Then on the morning of Black Friday, I just slept in.

After Turkey day, I needed to get some cardio and trample some people shopping in a crazy frenzi. It was quite fun and tiresome. Money is kinda tight these days so had to get some X-mas shopping done. More Muggs would be great for my collection... working on some custom Muggs for some good friends.

I survived Black Friday easily enough. Nothing in this world that I could need or want would make me go out that day. Didn't leave the house. Pure bliss. Online shopping for me!

I shopped online in the morning, slept, woke up at 2pm, and then went shopping until 8pm. Got 5 shirts at one store in the mall and a new Sony Vaio laptop for $650 at BestBuy. There were lots of good internet deals spread out over the whole weekend this year which kept my stress level low.

Out the door to the stores at 3am, too the biggest mall I know of in NY/NJ Palisades. It was awesome! Then down to Atlantic City where I basically broke even after Christmas shopping. A 24+ hour tear of no sleeping and fun!

I went to Katy Mills Outlet Mall just outside of Houston, TX. My girlfriend wanted to do some clothes shopping, but she didn't really find much. Then we drove back home and slept for about an hour and hit Target at about 5AM. We were in and out in about 30 minutes with everything we wanted. It was a pretty awesome experience.

I did survive Black Friday. I shopped online and got all my shopping done in one swoop. I will admit I bought one thing for myself. I picked up SDCC Gree Mighty Mugg for $17.95. I had to have one more in my collection and Gree is getting harder to come by these days.

hmm... Black friday I got up at 12, and went to walmart and bought a GPS and a External hard-drive woop woop! Then went to toys R us and bought Disney's BOLT for $9.99 and then went to Marshals and got a Cap america Tshirt and some Chuck taylors, then I went to target and bought a bunch of DVDs for $3.99, So I guess you could say I SHOPPED TILL I DROPPED! Then I painted some Mighty Muggs haha, It was a good day.

Black Friday is too crazy for me... I can't stand all those people going nuts and the parking lots are absolutely insane. Most of my shopping is done already, but I'll still have to brave the shopping centers a few more times before Christmas, unfortunately.

my black friday? well lets say i woke up at 9 am thanksgiving day, ate too much, went to TRU at midnight and almost beat down some old lady that kept hitting me with her umbrella haha then went home to shower, waited until 3:30am friday to go to walmart only to find out that the method they were using this year was lame because people were in the lines since the night before (stupid hillbillies lol) then went to our local mall at 5 am which was a total zoo like every other store around here and figured out that everyone shopping for clothes must have been the same size as me and all of the fat people stayed home haha ...yeah i didnt get to sleep until 11 pm on friday total of 38 hours between thanksgiving and black friday =)

Some how I managed to do all three: I survived the day only to recall waiting in line at Kohls behind a woman with three cart loads of junk at which point I realized that I could have my wife wait in line for me while I slept in the car till she got to the front of the line.
