And NO - shopping on Black Friday is not for everybody. Just 'cause you love a great deal doesn't mean you need to set yourself up for a day of crowds, lines, and sprinkles (or heavey drops!) of chaos. All that could start as early as 5 a.m.!
Black Friday is ONLY worth the hype if:
- You enjoy the hustle and bustle of claustrophobic shopping
- You are determined to score that product or item you've been waiting to purchase since last Black Friday (whether for yourself or as a gift for someone)
- You have PATIENCE
- You have accepted the fact that you may walk out of a store with nothing in your hand. Not everything in the store on Black Friday will be on sale, in your size, or even worth the cost. (Remember: retailers want you IN so they can also introduce new, regularly priced items to you as well!)

I always debate on joining the Black Friday craze. However as pf late, shopping online as been my thing. Haven't done the cyper Mondays yet. lolhttp://www.whatsheluvs.com/blog
Black Friday shopping is worth it to me if we'll planned. Of course this includes coupons and scouting for codes and relevant sales online.

WhatSheLuvs (Chris): Yeah, I haven't done Cyber Monday yet...maybe one day! I hit the mall around 2 p.m. on Black Friday and there were hardly any lines and there were items still on the shelves...I think the craze is ceasing because of online shopping. Now, if I went at 6 a.m., could have been a different story!
Anonymous: YES, I'm all about coupons an scouting for codes and online sales. I do still love actually going into a store to shop...but it's awesome having options!
