I work black friday and I know that most people are “Christmas” shopping BUT people are nasty!!! I got verbally cursed at, almost run over by people looking for parking spots, not to mention waking up at 3am to see a line around the corner. And why are people using credit cards that get declined. =[ I’ll do my black friday shopping online thanks.

What I love about this time of year is all the great online deals. I bought two very cute coats, one a red wool with black velvet collar and cuffs and one a black wool with an empire waist. I hope the empire line stays in style long enough to wear this coat for a couple of years but if not, it wasn’t very expensive. Love the look.

I did. My friend was in NYC from Atlanta and she wanted to go shopping for some things. I picked up a few shirts and turtle necks but nothing big. She told me that she and her Mom went to Circuit City at 5AM to catch a sale and of course they were out of the item. If she wasn’t in town I would have stayed home where it was safe.

I didn’t score any major clothing deals, but I did buy a lot of clothing still.

Did get a steal on a Coach Sig Stripe Shoulder tote in black for $140!

For the past few years I have gone shopping on Black Friday but this year I actually went the Wednesday before. I think Black Friday is great when it comes to buying electronics, items for kids, or home goods but for clothes it seems to me by Friday they’ve run out of everything my size. I noticed that the Wednesday before there are tons of sales and lots of items available since not a lot of people are shopping.
Personally, my favorite time to shop is after the new year or the day after Christmas.

I drove to the mall, couldnt find a park and just left to go home. online shopping is so much better, but then again you have to deal with Mr. postman, and that can be frustrating

I work in sales, so i had to work black friday. Even if i wasnt working, i would brave the crowds, i prefer to shop online for holiday deals instead, given if there is anything im searching for.

I would never wake up early to wait in line with people who would trample you for a deal!
I did take my son out to the music store to buy his HOLY GRAIL- Gold Top 1957 reissue Les Paul Guitar!
He was happy , so I was happy!

I had a crazy idea that black friday wouldn’t be that bad. I took bart into Union Square in SF. Let’s just say….I was right back on bart heading home after about 30 minutes. It was awful and really takes away from the shopping experience. Never again will I leave my house on black friday.

I always say i would never shop black friday, but never say never right! took my mom to Tory Burch and she made out amazingly well. I saw beautiful winter gear, but didn’t purchase anything cause it doesn’t stay cold in atlanta that long.

At around 2 ish I went to Starbuck to get my coffee, and there was a crazy line! That’s about all the shopping I did.

Nope, never shop on black Friday. Usually have other things to do (like work or chores) and not my idea of a good time.
