Seems this year that Black Friday is a lot less in the news than usual. Maybe people are sick of it creeping into Thanksgiving Day, maybe the economy sucks a lot worse than the media portrays and people aren't spending as much as they usually do.
Do you or your SO participate in Black Friday?
I remember a few years back after leaving a family members house on Thanksgiving to go home, I drove past a Best Buy at about 6PM Thanksgiving Day, and there was a line of people, some in tents. It was 25 degrees and snowing hard that day.
I think a lot of places aren't even opening up until 8AM on Black Friday since all their sales have shifted to Thanksgiving evening.
One time I was at some outlets outside of DC on Thanksgiving night, (they opened at midnight) and I was in Saks and bought close to $1,000 of stuff for under $300. The check out line was so long I listened to 2 complete albums on my iPod while standing in line. I don't think I will ever do that again.
This Black Friday I will be in Detroit. Is Penthouse Club running any Black Friday specials? Like 50% off everything?!?!?!


Haven't been to a mall in about a year and a half. Buy everything online.
