My wife and I decided to upgrade our surround sound and get a blu-ray player this year. So Xmas shopping will be pretty uneventful this year.

Walmart employees having been talking about striking too. But The employees actually have a reason to strike, and call attention to their situation.
Those videos are so humiliating. If you look at your world outside of a microcosm.

They probably would've tried! Some lady got her shirt ripped off by someone! I was like watching jackals on a wounded animal!

The wife and I don't get into that thankfully. We did however get a friend of hers to buy something on sale for us while she did her black friday shopping.

As I told my students, "Are the deals worth having civilized people reduced to savages?". My answer is no. I will not participate in Black Friday; it's demoralizing.

That's why I didn't go to Walmart on Black Friday until 1900 - I went to the casino, won a goodly amount of Christmas money, and spent it all... but my kid is gonna be happy. My Mom and Dad, too. :D
The only thing that I wanted to pick up for my daughter for Christmas that they didn't have was the new Pokemon game, and there was maybe another thirty, forty customers in the store.
Black Friday - the day we go stomp people to death for crap that we don't really need the day after we're supposed to give thanks for what we have. :|

There are those crazy moments but I find if you avoid the doorbusters and just go for the little stuff that it can be a very rewarding and pleasant experience. I got a few blu-ray movies for 4 bucks and a 16gb flash drive for 7 bucks. That kind of stuff doesn't sell out too easy so we just got them later. I got to say though I don't blame a parent for wanting to get the most they can for their children especially with tough times like they are but the doorbusters are just plain crazy and not worth it in my opinion. Especially the promotional TVs as they are always garbage any ways.

Had to plug a tire on Thanksgiving night. Had to wait in line at Wally World for 45 minutes for fix a flat and a plug kit. Lots of retards all over the place. I honestly don't blame people for doing it though. Prices on everything have become outrageous, and for many people the huge sales are a great opportunity to purchase merchandise at a fair price. I thank God that I have enough disposable income to stay the hell away; however, necessity mandated that I be there Thursday night. It reminds me that we are all slaves to the moneychangers. All I can say is make sure you have what you need always, or else you will fall prey to the endless pit of materialism that sucks the lifeblood straight from the heart of mankind...... Wal-Mart is the the Chinese devil!

The day I shop on black Friday is the day I put a bullet in my brain pan. I hate crowds and refuse to do anything like be one of the masses so I can save a few bucks. What many people do not realize is that stores use a few items as loss leaders and then jack up the prices on many other items. You need to know your pricing before you buy. Give me the internet every time, a few clicks and I am done.

As I now live in VT, we have no chain stores nearby. I joked to my wife that we should go to Burlington Mall on Black Friday - probably be 3 people in line.
Like most of you, we do our shopping online. We also are Amazon Prime customers, which is a great deal if you do a lot of online purchasing. 2 day free shipping on all purchases, and free online movies and shows.

Just wait until people have to do that just to eat and drink. Then that takes on a whole other level of desperate and depraved behaviour. That's why you need to be prepared so you will not have to be in that kind of melee.
