I watched people shoving each other to the floor for Idea Box beanie toys, and had many people verbally attack me because the top items were gone at 3:00 in the afternoon. So those of you brave enough to partake in the day, more power to you. At least you know I won't be competing with you for those deals! : ) After spending a few Black Fridays working opening shifts at Best Buy in the 90′s & then while at corporate & running a traveling project team, we often had to be in the store sometime during that day…I will not even leave my house on Black Friday!

If you're going more for the people and less for the items, you'll have a blast no matter what. Like any given outing, it's all about the company you keep. See if you can snag me a spare helmet and set of overalls while you're out. I can’t stand black Friday, but I understand why it works for some people.

However, my girlfriend gets up at 5 am every year and, like you, goes with her family. Sometimes they buy things, other times it's simply being with her mother and sister and continuing the tradition. If you see that 50" TV at Walmart for $500, pick me up one. I'll even throw in an extra $25 convenience fee to you! I’ll be working and avoiding retail outlets like the plague.
