Yes, I mean probably....Here is a tip I learned recently. If there is something from a certain store that you want, instead of fighting the crowds, take that stores ad to WalMart and they should give you the competitors price! So if I go, it will probably be under those circumstances :)
Absolutely not!!! I HATE crowds. In fact, I strategically plan my grocery shopping outings at times when I know the store will be the least crowded (so what if it appears I have no life and go grocery shopping on Saturday night?!)... so no day-after Thanksgiving shopping for me! I would rather not think about the kinds of deals I'm missing... :)

Last year my sister-in-law and I said last year was the last year we would go. But it was before we moved 9 hours away. It's a bonding experience. You have to laugh your way through. So we just might!
Shoppoing - doesn't that imply having money??? heehee. No, I'll be in the peaceful mountain setting of my parent's guest home. Far from any shopping. But does web-shopping count? I might do some of that.....
Not going the day after Thanksgiving. We have a tradition of decorating for Christmas and drinking cappucino/hot chocolate that day. My plan is to get ALL of our shopping done next Saturday while Jordan is on a weekend retreat!
I'm totally going shopping on Thanksgiving...before all the family turkey festivities start. I'm telling you people - get to CVS Pharmacy (of all places) for the deals! No way would I go out the day after...unless Best Buy has a killer deal on a digital camera with beautiful megapixel capacity. :) We'll see what 4am feels like that day and decide.
No shopping for me - if I can help it :) I'm hoping to spend the day relaxing with the family.
I am with the hate crowds girl! I hate that feeling you get when you are trying to beat others to the good deal...and the lines!!! Nope. None of that for me this year! Plus my husband just happened to get some of our Christmas shopping done when he went to Africa this summer! We have been saving it up!
YES I'll be in the crowds! "Full contact" shopping is tradition just like playing full contact football Thanksgiving afternoon. It's part adrenaline rush, part thrill of the hunt, part economic reality...if we're going to get the Guitar Hero/Rock Band drum set we've got to find a good deal :-) After the successful hunt (I'm being optimistic) we'll go out to breakfast, go home and go to bed! Even if it's not successful time spent with my honey is always time well spent!
