Does anyone actually go out for Black Friday anymore? The crowds scare me. I’d rather look for deals online lol

I'm with you - I prefer sitting in my pjs, coffee in hand, scrolling through the internet for deals. I hate crowds and detest standing in lines. I think it's just a smarter way to shop.

Right?! Safer too. I’d rather watch the news than be on it

I will go out! If you go early enough, the crowds are not too bad. I'm in a big city so it can get crazy, but I just love the experience of it all.

The last time I went out for Black Friday was 2000 or 2001; and it was to a fabric store, so it wasn't over-crowded.

I used to brave the crowds in my younger days, but these days, I've become a convert to the convenience of online shopping. I can browse from the comfort of my own home, avoid the crowds, and take my time comparing deals without the pressure of pushy salespeople.

I only went once, years ago. I stood in line at Kmart (that in and of itself dates me lol), had pneumonia waiting in line for an X-Box or some gaming device. I remember waiting for maybe 2-3 hrs in line but I was close to the front, debating if o should just leave. The people behind were so kind, they me let me go to my car periodically to get warm- they knew I was sick. Blast from the past lol
