I prefer not to head out; Black Friday isn't worth it to me. But there are those who enjoy it, and more power to them. As long as they aren't the crazies mowing other people (we had hospitalizations in my town) all for the chance to save a few bucks. .-= Miranda´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.allbusiness.com/trends-events/holidays-observances-thanksgiving/13456151-1.html" rel="nofollow">Happy Thanksgiving!</a> =-.

I myself didn't go, but several of my friends did, and all day today they were talking about the people they met in line, how some shoppers acted when the doors were finally opened, and generally how they enjoyed hanging out and chatting while looking forward to buying a few things they didn't really need but were on sale.

For example best buy had a labtop for 200 bucks I saw ppl waiting online around 6pm when did they eat turkey, when did they spend time with the family, and the funny thing is the labtop specs are garbage. This is just one of many examples that show the product is not worth it. Blackfriday is really a waste of time Agree with OP.
