We went last year because we needed (wanted) a new audio receiver. We found one that was normally $150 for $75 that day. I got to the store at 5am, and got one in a mad rush of people.

That day it was definitely worth it to get in line – to save $75! Just don’t get caught up in the craziness and the rush and buy a bunch of stuff you don’t need!

I didn’t buy a single thing for myself – everything on my list was a Christmas gift for someone else. As a result, I saved more than 50% total on all of my Christmas shopping.

BF is awesome, but you do have to be careful not to get sucked in to the deals that you don’t need.

George Washington had a vision for this country. Was it three days of uninterrupted shopping? -John Melvoin ) Happy Holidays!…

I just got off the phone with my mom and she’s planning on going very early, like 4am, apparently that is when the shops are the least busy if you’re up for that.

I’m certainly not up for that so this year I’ll probably just stay in the comfort of my home and shop online using sites like fatwallet, slickdeals and of course Wishabi, who I work for, and let the community find and deliver deals to me.

Good advice of not getting carried away too, it’s pretty easy when the deals are so good. It’s fun when people say ‘look how much money i saved!’ when in reality they’re spending! All in all a fun time of year to find bargains though.

Best Buy’s line was crazy long, so we skipped that one.

We ended up at Staples of all places, and my job was to get in in the checkout line right away so we didn’t waste all morning waiting.

I rather enjoyed my front row seat to what was a very strange spectacle.

So beware of the black friday, be very careful in spendings. otherwise credit card will be over loaded.

Other than that, divide and conquer. Pick the stores you really want to hit and either assign people to each store or take people with you into each store and get the various things you are shopping for.

Oh… and bring your hockey gear… it gets ugly out there!
