Black Friday!
So, I thought it would be a good day to post about this! Ugh! What a day! I mean, so many people shopping looking for that great deal to save them money! Yeah, and get there at midnight the night before. No way, not for me. However, there was a time when I used to do it. Once, lol. Now, I just try to find the best deal throughout the Christmas season, lol.
So, what are ya'll's thoughts on this? Have any of you ever gone to get that perfect deal? Or maybe you are this year, tell me about it.

Funny, this - it's all over the UK news today how far US retailers are cutting prices to tempt shoppers. Used to be, over here, that the sales didn't cut in until January 1st, but that all seems to have changed. Personally, I stick to my budget whatever time of year it is...if I see something I want and I can afford it, great. If it's something really exciting, I'll wait and see if the store gets a sale on, and save my pennies.
But there's no way I'm going to risk serious personal injury in a stampede of shoppers. Especially over something like shoes. Now, if we're talking bits of guitars....

I tinkered with the idea, but even if I had money to spend, I don't think I'd go shopping, lol

A few years ago, we shopped on Black Friday as we wanted a new flat screen TV. Other than that, no, I haven't. My mom is out there today for a washing machine. Saving $400 dollars is worth it. I'm surprised the car dealers don't have something going on for Black Friday. You'd think they would.

Saving 400 dollars is worth it! Hubby and I work talking about going next year and shopping for a new TV.

I used to many years ago, when I was younger and stronger. LOL Now I'll stay away from the stores until Monday. It's not like I have a lot to spend this year anyway. So I'll be looking for very specific items on sale. ;-0

I agree with you 100% on that! lol I'm only shopping for specific items myself.

I like to be able to go and get a few little extras. But this year the budget doesn't allow for that. I'm hoping my brother can pick up the slack and get some little stuff for Mom. It's not like she asks for much. ;-0

Me too. I've been the only one working for a family of five for about a month and a half, lol

Ame, no way would I go out and fight that crowd! I tried it once, and once is enough. The bargains aren't a great enough lure to pull me back into that big black hole. lol. People are crazy, yanking stuff out of your hands.

In Australia we have the Boxing Day sales. Personally, I avoid such things like the plague.
I don't mind a little retail therapy, but, oh pluleeeeeez! Fighting feral shoppers is not my thing.
Hope your Christmas and New Year are the best ever!
Cheers
