How did yours go? I have yet to participate in the Black Friday shopping spree of sweet deals. So tell us about yours? What deals did you find? What horrors did you see??

I am north of the border and did not venture south...but I heard about that poor man at the Walmart and the two guys at the Toys R Us that killed eachother.

Gives new meaning to Black Friday...no deal is good enough imo.

After all the deaths yesterday, I think Black Friday is going to have a new meaning.


I've never gone out that day. I'm not into crowds, expecially ones where people are so frantic to save a couple bucks.


My life is worth more than that

My patience is worth more than that.

BF isn't really a thing here in Canada anyway.

Boxing day is just as bad as BF.

People dieing trampled like that is unfortunately not a new thing.

I went out after 6pm. Didn't catch the mega deals but caught a nice deal at Kohls. When I got married we bought 30$ bands until we could afford the rings we wanted. Well I got the ring set I wanted, 60% off. Also for every 50$ spent we got 10$ coupon to spend in the net week. I have to spend 130$ next week. Oh darn!!! I spent a lot there cause the deals were great and I needed maternity clothing and some stuff for my holiday party.

Also at the military store they had 25% off Coach bags between 6pm and 7pm....O M G I regretted going between those hours...people buying like 5 purses...those are like 100 to 500$ purses...I dont get it.

I've gone out the last two years. One of my favorite clothes stores, Aeropostle, has 50% off the entire store.

I got a Kenneth Cole watch for $35 (originally $95), and a KC down-vest for $30. Also got Kung Fu Panda and Iron Man for $13.

Black Friday is the day after thanksgiving in the US. It's called that because it's the 'first' official shopping day of the Christmas season, and the day most retailers finally make it 'into the black' aka - turn a profit for the year.

My mother-in-law, daughter and I went out but it was AFTER the big rush. I'm not crazy enough to go out early.

I did notice something interesting, though. Some stores in Michigan offer the BEST deals AFTER noon on Black Friday. I don't know if it was just that area or if some stores do that nationwide. I thought it was a good idea to get people into the store later in the day rather than at 4am.
