Black Friday... a holiday in itself?

I personally love Black Friday. If I can get an item on sale at a price that I would normally not be able to afford, you can bet I will be there when they open, especially if it's for my daughter! My sister's and I already have our "Black Friday Crew" together and now we are browsing the black friday ads as they get posted online. I am just so excited for it.

Well I was talking to a friend of mine last night and we were talking about Black Friday. He said with the way people anticipate Black Friday, you would think it would be a holiday in itself and I got to thinking. Really, I kind of see it as a holiday! Maybe I am wrong and materialistic for not sleeping Thanksgiving night to load the car at 2am to get to the early sales. Here is the thing: I don't have a lot of money... at all. I scrimp and save each month. So when I am given the opportunity to get the "big gift" for my daughter that I normally cannot afford you can bet I will be out there shopping... Then of course there is the argument that it's selfish and dangerous and people are so violent. I am not a violent shopper. I just get in there get what I want and leave. I don't push or shove and bottom line I am just trying to save a buck here and there. Black Friday is an easy way to do that.

I am really pumped for this Black Friday. I have started working on our plan of action. We are hitting North East Mall this year. They just have more stores that I would like to go shopping at. I know some people may think I am crazy but when I can walk into a store and spend $25 and save $100... and yes it has happened, I have definitely spent my money wisely, especially in this economy!!

What are your views on Black Friday? Are you a go getter or do you sleep in?
