    Hell no, I stay far far away from the stores, I hate big crowds.  So I guess I don't have any great finds since I never go hahaha.

    I don't make Black Friday shopping a habit. Though I did make a point of going to a Herberger's one time, b/c with all the sales and specials going on one Black Friday, I got a $300something microfiber/microsuede down comforter for about $50. Last year, I went to Old Navy, but not until 7 PM. And it was the one in Edina that's never busy anyway. It was like shopping on a regular day, except there were crazy sales. I might do that again this year...

    I was one of the idiots that stood outside the Coach Outlet in Albertville at midnight for an hour and a half to get a good deal on a purse. :)
    It was worth it.

    I have done it before but have found that it hasn't been worth it. I got a tv/vcr combo when I was in high school, but that's the only good deal I've ever been able to get. Since working retail in college, I'm thankful that I get to sleep in instead of being part of the craziness.

    Oh see, now for a Coach....maaaaaybe.

    I value sleep - two days in a row to sleep in, baby, yeah!

    I admire those of you that venture out though!  I wish you good deals!

    I went out today, but not until 9:30am.  I got a few movies and a remote controlled car for future SS from Target.

    My big Black Friday deal was actually online yesterday.  Kohls had their deals available all day yesterday, so I bought a Dyson Animal Ball vacuum for the BF price, with free shipping and I found an additional 20% off code.

    I am very excited about this, because we close on our first home on Monday and we'll definitely be needing it!

    Yup, I'm a crazy one who was out all night long!

    Toys R Us at 10 last night and haven't stopped until now. I need to get a couple hours of sleep in before I just fall over!

    Best deal? I would have to say that the outfitts I picked up for my nephew (Oshkosh Brand sweatshirt, shirt and pants) for a whopping $1.00!!!! (Herbergers with their $10 coupon!)

    I was out at 1 AM until about 5:30. Got some great deals on toys, dvds on other gifts. I've never gone out that early before, and wow some people get crazy! It was quite the experience!

    How good of a deal was it?  I have to limit my trips to Albertville, because I always get myself in trouble at the Coach store.

    I stayed home today.  There wasn't anything on sale that was compelling enough for me to venture out into the crowds, and it helped that FI used my car today since his is on the fritz, so I didn't have much of a choice.  I normally do go out shopping on BF, usually with my mom, but she's really sick and can't leave the house right now.  I am going to go to Michael's, Joann, and Borders tomorrow to use up some coupons.  I need some nylon coated steel wire and watch faces, since I want to get some new inventory made for my craft sales coming up this week.  My watches always seem to sell right after I get them made, and I can make a good amount of money off them.

    5 Love Its First Anniversary Combo Breaker First Comment
    edited December 2011
    I used to go every year back in high school when I just had money to spend on myself and nothing else (lol), but have not gone in quite a few years. I've never gotten up early though, I always like sleeping in the morning after such a big feast! :) I did end up running to Target reluctantly though, around 2pm because two lightbulbs went out and I needed more. It was a madhouse even then! Of course I perused the store to see if there was anything worthwhile, and got a few cheap dvds. All of you who braved the cold and waitied in line last night, kudos to you! I couldn't do it. :)

    Ditto!  Target usually has some excellent deals on DVDs and TV show seasons on Black Friday... I got Psych Season 4 and Office Season 5 for $13 apiece at Target.  My sisters and I make a tradition of going, but we usually go at 8am at the earliest; we got there around 9:30 this year :)
