Well tomorrow is Halloween and it seems like after that Christmas will be right around the corner. With seeing all of the Christmas stuff in stores already and on SALE... it got me thinking about Christmas shopping and well... BLACK FRIDAY!! How early do you start shopping for Christmas gifts? Do you have any Black Friday "rituals" each year? I've gone shopping once on Black Friday but stayed on the south side of town and its wasn't too bad. I feel like I want to be crazy and go out this year! lol

I saw online somewhere that TARGET is supposed to have the best sales on Black Friday this year!! I LOVE TARGET! Does anyone know the name of the website where you can see all the sale ads for Black Friday ahead of time???

Black Friday!!!

I love Black Friday. I have been shopping for deals all year. The best website is gottadeal.com. I'm on that website several times a day. You can find deals now and get ads, strategies, and find others who are just as excited about Black Friday. Once your on it, you'll be addicted. My sister and I go out every year at 4-5am and stay out till 5pm. We always start with the stores that have doorbusters rather than Target. Target prices are usually all day, so unless your going after something specific you may want to wait. My husband went last year to get a lego castle on sale that they only had about 5. Also, check Amazon.com at 3am for their sales (some better than the ads). Also, Best Buy and Circuit City online as some deals there starting at 1:00am. Last year, I wanted three DVDs and got them online for the same deal and I was able to pick them up at the store the next day with no shipping charges and no lines. Hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

cant wait

My mom and I got out on Black Friday every year. We love it. We are one of those crazy people that are waiting out side to get into stores at 3 in the morning when its freezing outside. Last year and this year has not been as fun. Normally its a all day event we start at 3-4 and we dont get home until about 3-5 in the afternoon, but my husband got a different job last year and he cant take that day off so I have to be home by 8 in the morning for him to go to work. I already had a full SUV full by 8. I do about 80% of my christmas shopping on that day.

thanks!

Thanks for sharing that website! I never thought about looking online for deals, what a GREAT idea! I do love shopping on Circuit Citys website and then you just go to the store to pick up your item, its so easy!
If you do shop online you should check out my post on the website Ebates, they will give you cash back for shopping online so you win both ways :)

My Favorite!

I looooove Black Friday and have been shopping on Black Friday for as long as I can remember...I remember when Scottsdale Mall used to give out goodie bags with coupons and they had a few bags with gift certificates! I wish more places did something like that still! The past few years our first place has been going to Target because they always seem to have the best deals for what I am looking for and maybe because its my favorite store :)
This year my birthday actually falls on Black Friday so I was really anxious but I just accepted a new job and I'm not sure if their office is open on that day or not so I'm crossing my fingers I will not have to work. I suppose if I do have to work I'll just get up really early still and head out to a few stores :)
