You couldn't pay me enough to be out in those crowds with those people

If I were in the USA I'd probably be out and about. There will be some Black Friday sales here in some areas of Europe like the UK and also some Black Friday sales in the Netherlands

I'll be out, but working. Getting paid 8 hours Holiday pay, plus double time on the hours I work. Pretty much making triple pay that day.

I'll be shopping from the comforts of my computer chair. Although the deals kinda stink from what I've seen so far.

I'm pretty much with you I will be buying everything online during the first few weeks of December.

Exactly!

One of the most shameful and barbaric days of the year for America. I will never participate or support that garbage. Lives are more important then so called "hot" items. People don't see it that way. Its all about me first and bragging rights. Animals. I have always managed to get better or just as good deals online in the comfort of my home. Shopping at retail is so out dated.

i got to work thanksgiving and black friday all night shift . so i can miss the crowds

Might get an Auto Top Off controller for my reef aquarium but it will be online. Otherwise I don't plan on buying anything.

Man its amazing how gullible people are. Come on people your not actually getting discounted prices on products! Take for example those "door buster deals." The strategy behind it is not just for the retail outlet to seem super charitable at "discounted" prices (that be too nice of them). Its made to entice mass amounts of people to visit the retailer in big discounted items. But once your in the store their jobs are done. The surprise is that these "door buster deals" are VERY limited. Generally the retailers tend to only have for example 10 TVs.  So basically you worked hard to get into the store and you were not able to get one of the "door buster deals" that you were hoping. So in the retailers marketing strategy is that since that happened to you they hope that you will buy their other products in which most are not marked down at all or are showing the HIGHEST allowed retail price with a percentage knocked off making it look like your getting a deal but your mostly likely paying for what you would normally. Its like Amazon is infamous for this all year round. Pretty much any product you look on Amazon is shown as a certain percentage off or marked down but thats because they are showing literally the HIGHEST amount retail price that they are allowed to show. Usually you can find that product in a store for the same price. Amazon takes a lot of liberty with what they think the actual retail price is versus what they are giving you. But I admit I enjoy Amazon for the convince factor of shopping at home. O yeah one more thing is about those "door buster deals" well they are not made from the actual normal components that the same items of that product would have at normal retail price. Since they are "marked down" they are made with cheaper quality parts.
