It is the day after the American Thanksgiving. The major retailers all have huge sales and some have give aways as well. I think they call it "black Friday" because this day is when they usually go from in the red to making profits.

NO! In college I worked at Walmart on Thanksgiving Day for 12 hrs, only to rise at 4am for Black Friday. Thereis so much pressure on you to balance your drawer to the penny while customers grumble "hurry up!"

That is definitely not my idea of Christmas!

I know we have a little over two months until Black Friday 2010, but I'm already thinking about it. There are a few websites that have released their BF predictions. Last year, my husband & I went shopping on BF for the first time together last year...he usually leaves the shopping up to me...I actually enjoyed shopping with him. He kept me from spending too much. I'm looking forward to finding some wonderful deals. I usually get to the store around 9am. The items I am usually looking for are still there at that time. This year, I'll be on the look out for some electronic gadgets so I may have to get there earlier.

I'm late to this thread (new here, hi! :) but i shopped black friday for the first time this year. It was certainly an experience! Target was the craziest but we got the legos we came for. The other stores honestly weren't that bad and we got everythingthat we went for. We saved a lot of money but where I have saved the most money and with less stress is shopping online. By combining coupon codes and thanksgiving weekend deals online I saved 80% on my cart at JcPenney.com and almost as much at Kohls.com.

I did about 98% of my shopping online this year. It definitely allows me to spend more time enjoying the company of family and friends, instead of running around to different stores.
