I don't think I ever got a Best Black Friday Bargain cause I am not about to be caught out there on Black Friday!

I do know Best Buy always has really great Black Friday deals !

Isnt there a Cyber Monday this year? Come on guys get with the internet program! I love on line shopping but I never buy unless they offer free shipping. Many Dept stores will waive shipping fees on Monday. Also check Amazon.com for good bargains on Monday and use the super-saver free shipping... just be aware the whole order must qualify for free shipping. If you buy ten items and 1 item is not a super saver... they try and charge shipping for the entire order. SO kids... break it up into two orders... all the free in one order and the few non-free in the next. Also always add shipping when checking for the best price... sometimes its cheaper to pay shipping with a lower price than free shipping with a higher item price. GOOD LUCK GUYS! Hoping you all check in and tell us how you did!
BY THE WAY... I am completely finished shopping, wrapping, and I laugh in your general direction! This year Wags has got bragging rights!

Wags, you bragger you...........lol
now that you are done, can I send you my list and you do MY SHOPPING???

My daughter does ALL of her Christmas Shopping on Black Friday.. she drops the kids off and she is "in the running" she gets phenomenal buys ( I can't think of any right now coz I am too tired - My gum band is windin down Folks! ) BUT she gets some REALLY nice stuff for her family !

It was like water - the people flowin through the register - packin all their stuff into bags & sending some Pretty happy people On their Merry WAY!! LOL

LOL Guys I have friend here that enlists her entire family to shop. I am talking her husband and three kids. They all have the same shopping list but each goes to a different store. The phone each other to check prices and the one with the lowest price buys the item. They go item by item... WOW

I did Black Friday once with my son...we stayed up all night just to leave at 2am,,,I never laughed so hard in my entire life...we had a ball,,,he was going around to the different stores and watching people storm into the stores and run with baskets and look at lines ten miles long,,,we went for one thing,,we got it and just laughed all the way home at some of the people we watched and made comments,,if nothing else we will have those fun memories for the rest of our life,,,,I would NEVER do it again,,,it is not worth it to me especially after you stand in line to get that item only for them to hand out five to all those waiting,,,after the gold rush you can usually get it at that price somewhere else down the line without the hassle as they put it all on sale anyway,,they just want to draw people to their stores,,,crazy

Black Friday "can be" a great experience. My wife usually gets started around 4am, and she has one simple rule, She doesn't go anywhere near a store with a toy dept. She like "more obscure" places, where they are really competing for your business. Joann Fabrics, Hobby Lobby or an independent craft store in our area, Places like that. No lines and great values.

Three yrs ago she picked up a $75 tilting craft table with casters (similar to a drafting table) for $50 off, and 10% on top of that. She was ecstatic. Just spent a lot of gas going miles around Target and Toys-R-Us. She skirts the mall by no less that 3 miles. LOL

She's usually home for breakfast around 8am, unloads & then is off again. By this time the crowds have thinned a lot & she can just walk into BestBuy & pick up the CD or whatever & check right out. Me? Well, now that our daughter has taken over the Black Friday "war game manuvers", I'll be in here pestering you folks. LOL

I do most of my shopping on line. I do go on Black Friday though as it has become a tradition for my daughter and I. Her husband goes now and holds a space in the long lines. Gets the car and takes us to lunch it is a wonderful day just being with my daughter I don't even care about the sales.
