Black Friday Ads
 
We all know that Black Friday is THE definitive day when we all wake up at the butt crack of dawn in order to get a good deal on presents for Christmas for our loved ones. I happened to come across a site that collects Black Friday ads from various retail outlets and I thought rather than keep the site to myself to ensure I'm the only one who knows of such deals, I thought I would share the site with you lovely folks to better prepare you.

TGI Black Friday - Ads 2007

Enjoy and good luck out there this Black Friday. Let's all make it back alive and with all of our limbs connected to our bodies.

What's Black Friday?

It's hard to tell sarcasm online, so I'll just assume you were being sincere. It's the Friday right after Thanksgiving where almost all retailers have special deals on their merchandise.

If you were being sarcastic, then disregard my explanation :moon:

Fry's is the place to go. Last year we got up at 5:00am and got there at around 6:00. The line wrapped around the side of the building. This year we are getting up earlier, and saving more money for it..

I bet there are millions of people that take that day off work and stores go into over drive just for that day alone. Its true madness I tell ya. Last year I seen a fight break out between to people that wanted the same things, they got to doing some wrestling on the floor. It was great, knocking shit over and swearing at each other, oh what a day it is indeed.

Think "feeding frenzy with millions of sharks"

And then replace "sharks" with "manic American shoppers", and "feeding" with "buying".

That's the general impression I got from people.

I get all of it done way before black Friday. To hell with the sales I say. : p

I work at BestBuy's GeekSquad, black Friday is going to suck :bawl:

My sarcasm is far too clever for a mere American to pick up on. =p

I'm UK based. We don't have Thanksgiving. I was being sincere.

Read the thread and you'll find out, numbnuts.

Aww c'mon it's great fun. Well, it helps to be 6'3 and weigh 330 LBS so I can shove the masses aside.

Thanksgiving seems so meaningless if you don't celebrate it...

Christmas seems so meaningless if you don't celebrate it too. As does any other holiday.

Amy November 12th, 2007 02:28 PM

Christmas is my favorite holiday, but shopping for it can be rough.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. November 12th, 2007 02:30 PM

I prefer to shop after Christmas, when stuff is cheap. This usually doesn't go over well with people expecting gifts on Christmas

True. Which is why I think Christmas is pretty meaningless too.

You do that for misers and/or good friends/relatives. They will understand. Your mother in law? Probably not.

The only black day of the week I care about, is the one when the stock market crashed and gave us the wonderful Depression. Oh the times we have had, America. *sigh*



I did that shopping thing one time. One time too many. Why TRY and spend your money? I just use Amazon and let the overweight UPS guy carry my stuff for me. So easy and allows me sleeps.

Anson992 November 13th, 2007 04:29 AM

I always shop on Black Friday. So cool.

A Best Buy actually opened 4 blocks from my house last Black Friday. It was a grand experience,
too bad they had to kill the Toys R Us to put it there.
