In fact, I treat it like any other day. If I need something it's usually at the grocery store. Otherwide I stay home and finish cleaning up from yummy Thursday.

I've looked. Mostly TVs for huge sale but how many do you need? I already have four throughout my house. Won't need another for 10 years most likely.

Might do a tiny bit of online shopping, but I'm just about done with my gift purchases anyway.

will be donated to saving the environment. I hate black friday and all the shop till you drop bs, but we may try to buy something from them on friday rather than elsewhere.

Aeropostale already has killer going out of business sales. I'm looking forward to $5 jeans on Friday. Plus my wife has really been digging the whole holiday spirit vibe lately. Combine that with her having the day off (NEVER happens), and there's no way I'm staying home. Not looking to slug it out over a single HDMI port, 720P panasonic, so It's just going to be another day at the mall for me.

Been doing it that way since I was a teenager, and I ain't stopping now.

Why should I?

12. I'm not shopping on Friday.

There's not much to get, and I hate crowds and picking over torn, dirtied, busted inventory. I won't shop tomorrow either out of principle and solidarity for those made to work on a holiday.
