Random question: does anyone else have friends who treat Black Friday like a full-on mission?
Mine were already lined up at 3am, bundled up and ready to go, while I was still asleep with zero intention of leaving my warm bed anytime soon. It honestly cracks me up how wildly different our Black Friday priorities are.

None of my friends do this. I'm honestly surprised camping out is still a thing. I thought that died out when Amazon and online shopping became the norm.

Yeah I would agree, haven’t heard of anyone camping out recently but I’ve definitely seen lines starting early in the morning

It was never that big to me. I did have family who were exactly that way in the past. Most they do now is wake up early, stop for a coffee, and walk around the stores.

Absolutely! I can’t imagine sitting outside and freezing for 5-10% off of anything.

My spouse wanted to line up early for the Target sales. I guess they were giving out small kitchen appliances to the first 100 customers. We had a late night with festivities last night though so neither of us made it out of bed before 10 this morning

Honestly, a slow morning after a fun night beats standing in the cold for kitchen gadgets any day!
