I don't know if they're doing it eveywhere, but in our area, most stores have made the whole month of November Black Friday. Like you, maybe a lot of people have done their shopping early so the traditional Black Friday won't be so crowded. I don't think I'm brave enough to check my theory out, though.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556013197827296506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566879757638048475.post-86116556665099164392010-11-19T18:24:00.302-08:002010-11-19T18:24:00.302-08:00I used to go out when I was a teenager.

We plan on staying indoors - playing games, watching movies, and eating yummy comfort food! :)Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920816691217676013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566879757638048475.post-40391812058275576552010-11-19T17:46:38.988-08:002010-11-19T17:46:38.988-08:00I don't think I have ever been shopping on bla...I don't think I have ever been shopping on black friday.

I shop early, otherwise it's too tempting to overspend.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

But my son-in-law, who would sleep 'til noon if he could, gets up at 4:30 a.m. to go to the 5 a.m. sales. He can have 'em!Jeanette Levelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898750484193832082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566879757638048475.post-64592687654531059742010-11-19T11:19:30.519-08:002010-11-19T11:19:30.519-08:00"Black Friday" sounds too much like &quo..."Black Friday" sounds too much like "Black Death" to my ears! I tried it one time, two years ago, and that was just to go to our local Wal-Mart. We were hoping to get a cheap laptop they had. The sale officially started at 6am. We got there at 5:30, stupid us, we thought that was early! The line of people waiting for the laptops had started forming around midnight and since they only had 10 of them, they were all accounted for by 2am! We were on our way back home by 6:15 with about $50 worth of little stuff and a strong desire to stay home for the next several days! Now, if I go for a Black Friday deal, it will have to be one that is honored online!The Book Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08742929699209017621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566879757638048475.post-27522827372488046072010-11-19T10:45:23.094-08:002010-11-19T10:45:23.094-08:00Like you, I try to do all my shopping well in adva...Like you, I try to do all my shopping well in advance as I hate to fight the crowds.
