So I have NEVER gone out shopping on black Friday, but I am thinking this year I might just go. We have some outlet mall that's pretty close here in Cali. Its usually crazy every year, but they have awesome sales. So my question is, is it really as bad as everyone says it is? Or is it totally worth the crowds?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hate crowds so I never go. Sometimes I get some great deals online though.
I haven't done it in quite a few years but I am this year since I saw some things I want! lol
I think it is as bad as you hear because it is crazy and pushy and if you actually read the ads stores only get 5-10 of the items they are advertising so it causes HUGE fights. And you are more than likely to not get the item you want unless you're like the first person there.
But what I want shouldn't be too popular...or so I'm hoping lol we'll see :)
Personally, this is my first Black friday that i am goin out. I have always had to work or something.. Lol. But my ex worked at a Sears at the mall on black friday and all he could say was that the WHOLE store was vibrating at 4am when they opened the doors and then there was just a sea of people the dwindled down over a lil bit of time. And i mean im sure you have seen the news frm previous years. Guy dyin at wal mart.. etc. People just get too carried away sometimes. :) But im excited to see it myself..that just might be the crazy in me tho. :) haha
YES! We already have a game plan lol. 2 am at walmart to get in line. I WANT those outfits for my kids lol. I want like 30 of them haha. And a few more things there. Then we are headed to target and toys r us. Which we might do before since they are opening at midnight.
We will have beach chairs and hot cocoa lol.

lol I am hoping this outlet mall won't be too busy considering its kinda out of the way, and basically on an indian res. but IDK. The plus side is I would already be awake early since its about the time my dh gets home anyway. BUT I so wont do walmart or even Kohls those are the places that just look crazy on a normal day around here lol
