I have never done black Friday because of all the rumors i have heard about people fighting over toys and stuff. so my first question is it really as bad as the rumors say? and how big of a discount do you get? i have been thinking about doing it this years because some of the stuff that my kids want is expensive. but i don't know if i want to because of the rumors and i also wonder if the discount is worth all the hassle.
thanks a lot
I have never shopped black friday but I work retail and it is really bad at times. I really dread going to work tonight. We have about 25 people scheduled just for crowd control..

Right now in my area, they are camping out tonight for the deals, it's that bad over here, to skip Thanksgiving dinner with family to go for the Black Friday deals that some are online anyway.



Jen wife to Sam and mom to 3 boys Zachary, Daniel, and Jasper. Jasper is a CDH baby.
Thanks!! I have to go into work tonight from midnight to 5am, my legs will thank you later lol!!!
Quoting MsDean:
I have never done Black Friday either but I was looking at Amazon.com today and they have lightning deals and black friday specials.

I'd skip it.
Yeah deals are nice.. but did you know if you shop all year long you can find the same deals?
And yes the rumors are true. There's a lot of pushing shoving, People get injured.. People even get killed. it's pathetic.
it doesn't happen everywhere....in all my years shopping on Black Friday, I have never experienced all of that.

I worked it for 10 years...have shopped it for 3.I have never experianced a single problem. Yes- there are rude people but the same amount you would normally come acrossed

yeah ive gone every year since i became a mommy and i have never had any problems, i guess it depends where you live, the sales are worth it, especially if you dont have a lot of money, and ive never had any problems with anyone getting hurt or fighting!
I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I AM A BREASTFEEDING, BABY-WEARING, EXTENDED REAR FACING, CLOTH DIAPERING, CO-SLEEPING, HARNESS USING, LOVING, CARING MOMMY

A lot of deals are worth it. Just plan out your shopping tonight if you plan to go because it can be crazy.
You can go to http://gottadeal.com/ and check out all the ads and deals for tomorrow. So you can decide where to go and where to go first.
