    Default How was your Black Friday experience?

    Did you stay at home and sleep, or did you go take advantage of the "deals"? What stores, malls, websites did you hit up?

    I went to Lenox and bought nothing but clothes, clothes and hoes :idb:haha Then had to work later on that day...

    I really spent most of my money at GNC buying my workout supplements and protein lol But other than that I just bought games from Steam.


    There was really nothing I needed/wanted to buy.

    Ate lots of food, heard wal mart was going to have games cheap at 10pm, so I went there at 9:30, waited for a few minutes, endured a mosh pit of 100 people trying to grab one pallet of games, and ended up with what I wanted, Forza 4 for 28 bucks. Times like that make me glad I'm 6'2, I feel sorry for the short people in that "mosh pit". lol I heard a few people scream in pain haha.

    I wanted a PS3 and they had em discounted to 199 for the core. So I got up at 9am, went down to the store I knew was gonna be most crowded(best buy), walked in, picked up one of the many units on the shelf, got in line to pay, paid, walked right out. The whole ordeal took about 10 minutes.

    Went to WalMart to get a couple of things for my wife. Those women are insane! Working on exit strategies, throwing shit everywhere. I just stood next to the pallet and waited. When they said go, I just grabbed what I wanted and calmly walked away.

    Toys R Us was a different ordeal. Had to wait outside for about an hour. Finally got inside and walked around to find the things we wanted for my daughter. The worst part was the checkout line. It zig-zagged from the back of the store between aisles all the way to the front. That took about an hour too.

    While I waited in line, my wife tried going to Best Buy. She said there was a line at the door, then a line on the side of the building to get to that line. It stretched the side of the building, behind it, and zig-zagged 8 times the length of the rear of the building. She said fuck that, and picked me up from Toys to get home.

    It was a lot of waiting, but worth it. I was only in danger for about 10 seconds.

    I don't see the sales being worth all the hassle. I do my shopping online for almost the same price and never leave my chair. Later, QD.

    very true, i usually shop online, never done the black friday thing before so didnt know what to expect. If you already do your shopping online, none of these sales will impress you.

    i waited at ToyRus too, then once you get in theres a line to get in electronics, then the checkout line.... horrible....

    worst place was target, the entire store was a line.... literally.....

    i went to walmart at 9pm thursday. i stood in a line for a 100 dollar trampoline and the ol lady stood in line for a 99 dollar electric four wheeler. well i stood in line for about 5 hours before they gave us all our tickets for the trampoline. then they sent us to the vision center to check out where my ol lady met up with me and we stood in line for about an hour and a half. as we were standing in line there was a pallet with $2 bedsheets with about 50 people surrounding it. some guy said go and it looked like a prison brawl. i mean people were fighting like some og's lol. they had to bring in ambulances and everything. i have never seen as many police and fights in my life. i honestly felt like i was standing in a prison yard. this all took place at the mcdonough walmart. yeah i will never do another "black friday" as long as i live
