I think those folks who wait in line for hours just to get a few bucks off the "latest" whatever are insane. You can get the same deals by logging onto the stores' websites, in most cases! Plus, it seems that most of those items are for kids. Pardon me, but do kids REALLY need the absolute latest toy to come out the second it's released? Kids need to learn about disappointment and that they're not always going to get what they want! (I want a million bucks, but I don't see anyone coming forward to give it to me! Maybe a good, swift kick in the pants.....)

I have been an avid watcher, and shopper on Black Friday. Stood in line in the freezing cold to be first to get X toy/electronic/whatever. Here is the deal - There are a few GREAT deals to be had, but usually on very specific items with few quatity at the stores (Menards is an exception, they often have a large supply of the best deals). There are other "deals" to be had, but those deals will happen throughout the season. So, basically only worth the trip if you have your eye on one of the great deals, and you are 1-10 in line Friday morning (or Thursday night:)

If the shoppers weren't in such a hurry to buy, and stayed at home on BLACK FRIDAY, the stores would lower their prices on Saturday because they would need the sales to make their goals.
