Our Facebook Fans: Are You Shopping On Black Friday?
November 25, 2010
It’s Black Friday — the crazy-hour traditional start to the holiday shopping season. We asked our Facebook fans about their Black Friday plans. A few responses are below.
(You can become one of our Facebook fans at www.facebook.com/northescambia)
- “I love Black Friday shopping!” Janalyn Pomeroy.
- “Get up at 2 a.m. to go stand in line for three hours to fight over the three TV’s that they discounted by $25? Forget it; I’ll pay the extra 25 bucks.” — Andy Maddox.
- “Yes, I’m one of those crazy people who get up at three to be at Walmart. Not just to get bargains, its a time I spend with my daughter and friends year after year.” Jackie Garrett Thomas.
- “Oh no…gotta watch the Iron Bowl.” — Deana Coker.
- “Will actually be working for the mighty Wal-Mart as crowd control and help with one of the hot items.” Bryan Coburn.
- “Nope…going to Tuscaloosa to watch the Tide beat Cam.” William Earl McKenzie.
- “I don’t have any money to shop. I’ve never been on Black Friday, so I’m staying home and watching football. Roll Tide, Roll Baby!” — Angela Richardson.
- “I’m going. I go every year with my mom, aunt and friends. We get up at three a.m. and go to the mall. Walmart and Target, and then go out for breakfast. Then home for a nap.” — Amanda Colbert.
- “No way, especially if it is raining. That is like punishment. I don’t need anything that bad. And, my wants won’t hurt me.” — Marie Duncan

@ Century girl – I hear ya!
Just a contrivance to make people feel like they _need to spend_ their hard-earned money. NOW!
The longer you wait, the cheaper the goods will be and prices will drop even further – and further yet again AFTER Christmas.
My wife and I are staying home for “Black Friday”, best to let the lunatics take the field.
Thanksgiving left-overs are calling – time to reheat some turkey, and maybe take in a movie later…
Black Friday Shopper’s is America’s version of “running with the bulls” LOL!
It’s crazy with people camping out in front of stores. Most of the deals you can get by simply going to the web site. I would have to save a ton of money to stand in line. I just heard that there was a ridiculous line at a local toy store near the mall.
No Way! I have done the Black Friday shopping before, 1 time… I said “Never Again!” I will be trying to sleep in tomorrow morning, since staying up late cooking last night and up early today to finish cooking for Thanksgiving. I don’t want to have to stand in lines forever and fight the crowd, plus all the crazy drivers on the roads trying to hurry up and get to each store…
Best Buy on line was suppose to start Thursday on line Friday in stores. All things in sale paper said coming soon instead of add to cart.. I. called was told do not know what time it will start Thursday.Maybe Friday at 12.00.This was misleading. Add said buy on line Thursday Friday in stores.
