Not me. I did order from Kohl's, Staples, and OfficeMax online for Black Friday deals however. DS got a seasonal job at Macy's. They opened at midnight. He got there at 11:30 last night and he said there was a long line waiting for the doors to open. They kept him until 11:30 am because they were so busy. He is due back at 7am tomorrow morning!

I hate what's happening to holidays.
Supermarket open til 5PM on Thanksgiving day, stores opening at
10PM Thanksgiving night or in the early morning hours for Black Friday.
I refuse to shop for anything (in person) on what is supposed to be a holiday and also would not get caught up in the Friday madness.

I'm guilty. Not so much for Black Friday deals, but granddaughter staying with us and took her Christmas shopping. With a teenager, it's better to let them choose what they want for Christmas. Got to large mall that serves DC and Northern VA around 10:30 am. Mall not as busy as I've seen on some weekends, but Macy's was really really busy. They seemed to be only place that had good Black Friday deals. Think we were in between crowds. Early shoppers had already gone back to bad and after work shoppers not there yet.

I got a Gateway Laptop for $299 at Office Max as well as a 1T backup drive. (At 11amish...no way I'll stay up all night. The 2T were sold out).

I got some good deals online Thanksgiving Day.

we bought a tv on line from Walmart on Thanksgiving day, not one of the doorbusters, but a nice sale. On Friday, my husband bought some golf balls at dick's sporting store, and we got oranges at Sun Harvest.

No shopping for me either. Well except for a quick trip into CVS.

Did try to get online deal at Dell for a new laptop. But wasn't one of the first 2000 customers. My own fault - I forgot about it at midnight (and I was up) and tried at 8am.

So, you don't know anyone with a few thousand golf balls!!!???

I sold 43 dozen in one deal a couple weeks ago.

Also, on another forum someone said they did WM Black Friday deals online, clicked the order at midnight.

Nope. I ran out of milk and dog food, but refused to go to the store. Crowds give me the heebie jeebies.

Too Dangerous

I am glad I did not venture to shop on Black Friday or late night Thursday. It was too dangerous. People are getting ridiculous! A mom pepper spraying kids so she can get an X Box? Something is wrong in our society.

I am not too old, but I remember growing up and all stores were closed on holidays and Sundays. That included ALL major chain stores. There was no shopping to be done at all. Now a buck is always considered. It's just a matter of time before we will be shopping on the actual holidays themselves.

ASUS bought them I think. I just bought a Gateway desktop and I actually love it. It is a desktop with built-in wifi. Now, let's see how long both of these last. I will keep you posted.

I agree with you. I can't believe what we saw on TV that people are harming each other (pepper spray) to get in the store a second or so quicker.

I was going to buy something online yesterday but when I finally got around to it, it was after midnight already.

Other sales will be there so nothing lost.
