What is your favorite part of Black Friday?

[MarkRaby]

(I'm excluding the choice of "getting in on great deals" because I know that's everyone's main focus)

[SynthDude2001]

Hmm...I've only ever been once (and didn't spend a whole lot of money at the time), but I guess I'd say I enjoyed spending the time with friends the most. :)

Aside from the great deals, I think it's the holiday atmosphere and tradition.

Mine would have to be spending time with my girlfriend. For us, BF is a girls day out. We leave at 5am and basically make a day of it. No kids, no hubbys....just us two girls:g_dance:

I love the crowds in the stores, the savings just everything about it!

I like to get a bunch of shopping done for Christmas. Usually, it doesn't cover everyone, but I can find a lot of deals for most of my list. I always try to find one big gift for my wife and I to enjoy, although we always end up using it before Christmas.

Looking at all the ads early. Otherwise, the holiday atmosphere about it.

Researching and planning initially, but once I'm there, it's the thrill of the hunt.

 

Never have I gotten all my shopping done in one day and I'm usually shopping alone. No one can keep up with my pace.

Last year it was spending time with my ex girlfriend and getting the good deals. We had a wonderful time together braving the cold with hot coco and krispy kreme donuts. She was a great woman....

The thrill of it all. Being first, or close to it in line, beating out everyone to get to the good stuff, what an adrenaline rush.

I know you!

[Steakgoddess]

I know you!

I know you, too!

[Keebelf]

it is a toss up between

-searching and planning for it all

-giving Chris the list and then rolling over and going back to sleep once he leaves at 4 in the morning.

-carrying it all in once he brings it home.

This is one time of the year where my OCD is not complicated bymy in laws ....I can plan,plan and then execute without none the wiser or criticizing my plan of attack.

[ajbrowns]

She was a great woman....

 

I'm not sure of the specifics, but it seems she let a great guy get away...the "great woman" for you is still out there, probably looking for her "great man".

it's gotta be the thrill of the hunt.......

[outnumbered]

It's the planning that got me hooked. I've always gone alone and it's too crowded to really enjoy the holiday atmosphere...but I just love making a game plan and spending my money 5 different ways on paper before finalizing my list, etc.

[sbhiggins]

the adrenaline rush!

[gitmogecko]

And I also know you and the Steakgoddess!!!

I know you!

[treasure60]

For me it is the thrill of it all,,,

[Mike]

[rosegarden]

[scoutsangel73]

Its the planning, writing down what I want from each store. I thoroughly enjoy looking through the sales ads.:)
