I will be snuggly warm in my bed at 5 am on Black Friday.....I think it is nuts to be out there just to save a few extra bucks.  But then again, I do realize that in the downturn of the economy, a few bucks means alot to alot of people.

Very true, but the people need to have the money in the first place to go out on Black Friday. And there won't be many of them either I bet. It's a rough xmas

Right now my family has $80 in cash to our name.  That's got to buy gas, thanksgiving dinner and long story short, last us to the first of the month.  November's been a hard, hard month for us.  The idea of buying crap on Black Friday is nuts.

I worked in retail for 15 years.  I'm smart enough to hide in my bed Black Friday.

The retailers better enjoy it while they can.  I predict the worst holiday shopping season in known record.  I already bought my presents....on ebay.  I'll be sleeping black friday...stuffed from turkey and taters and gravy.  Good luck to those who brave the crowds and the chaos.

I won't even babysit the grandkids so my daughter can go black Friday shopping. That's how against it I am.

I make Thanksgiving dinner on Friday so no one even has an excuse for Black Friday shopping. If they have time to shop, they have time to come help me cook at 5:00 AM hehe
