I get to work a 4am to 4pm shift at a store that is my 2nd job.
Perhaps with wise council and my 401k I can retire in 150 years.

Costco has a $79.99 deal on a Blu-Ray player right now; not a black friday deal, just a normal coupon book sale. Name brand, too. I'm pretty sure a lot of stores have deals similar to that on a daily basis. Even still, say that Blu-Ray player is normally priced at $95. Is it really worth fighting people, spending hours in line, and putting yourself through tons of stress to save $15? NO. Not for me, at least. I'll be spending friday with a good friend I haven't seen in awhile. That's worth looking forward to.

I did the black friday years ago, last time I went 8-10 years ago the cops were arresting folks stealing goods from peoples shopping carts while they were going to their cars.
Ya like thats where I wanta be.

Only place I've hit on BF for the past two years is PepBoys to stock up on Mobil 1 for $3/quart
You couldn't pay me enough to do the "Black Friday" thing.
My wife and me will be taking our therapy dogs to an assisted living center for a couple hours on Friday. I'd much rather make a few deserving people happy than wade through throngs of idiot shoppers blindly chasing marketing hype.

We are driving out to Ohio on wednesday, and staying through sunday to visit the family. Probably no shopping will be done. There is a benefit to being unemployed and not working for retail during black friday.

I did Black Friday once... only once. I got up early to buy a flat screen TV, then went back to bed (it was still dark). It worked out - I saved $200. I have no such needs anymore.
I have never gone near a store on Black Friday. I was tempted however, to see the oil kings at Pep Boys for their upcoming sale on B. Friday, but there is no room available to add to the stash.
I might buy a set of tires online.

Yes, there are US box stores like Walmart.

No way will I fight the crowds of BF. I have gone to the mall late in the morning like about 10 or 11 and hardly anybody is there and they will still have sales. Otherwise forget it. I hate crowds and I hate getting up early.
