Title: Black Friday
Post by: Evil_Conservative on November 12, 2010, 12:33:08 AM
The Black Friday ad for Toys R Us has leaked and I'm shopping there on Thanksgiving night.  The sale begins at 10pm.... and continues on Friday & Saturday.

Since I have never tackled Black Friday psychos, what do I need to do?  Do I need a weapon?  I'm thinking rocket launcher or brass knuckles, perhaps?  But in all seriousness, any words of advice other than "Don't do it."?

There are about six things I want to get my daughter.

I have a four-day weekend for Thanksgiving.  I'm not doing anything except sleeping and eating.

I have been doing Black Friday forever.  Never had a problem with "psychos."     Everyone waiting in line is usually friendly and sometimes fun to wait with.    I guess it depends what part of the country you live in.    I did TRU one year, but the store was too small to hold the amount of people in line, so I never did it again.     

I notice a great deal of stores are opening Thanksgiving night, which is interesting.

My X-Mas list consists of 3 people: Me, myself, and I.  I'm treating myself when I get back from the frozen tundra.

Everyone else gets cards.  Hell, that's more than I get from them.

I have never participated in Black Friday and never will.  I don't even go to malls.  I did go to Toys R Us last Friday night, to shop for my nephew.  I went after I had been at Happy Hour for a while, so it wasn't that bad. 

My SIL gets up at 4:00 am to hit the stores on Black Friday.  There is nothing I need bad enough, on Black Friday, or Tax-Free Weekend that would get me to the store and deal with the people.  Ew.

Definitely.

There are a lot of Black Friday ads that have already leaked.  Enjoy!

This site will also post the sale ads after Black Friday, leading all the way to the after Christmas sales too.

That's like watching one of those medieval siege scenes in a movie when they're trying to break down the gate.  :-)

I have three people, too. Inga, my daughter, & myself. I'll be lucky to get a phone call from my daughter, perhaps a card.

I went last year right before the sales ended and got what I wanted.  If you don't want the really high end stuff you are usually OK.  One year I went to Toys R Us right before the sale started and I was the only one in line.  That was freaking awesome!  Everyone went to the HUGE Toys R Us store up the road and ignored the little store.

I'll probably be safe doing the same thing.

I want to get her the following for sure:

- Rock N Ride Pony - $23.99
- Dream Dazzlers Fabulous Dress Up Trunk - $19.99
- VTECH Paint & Learn Art Easel - $12.49
- Just Like Home - My Cleaning Trolley - $19.99

Those are all things she would enjoy...  I hope!
