I think that is part of the fun for me. others hate it. I go all out and have portable tv, cooler etc i hope i can round up some buddys to go with this year

I try not too, i really dont enjoy it

not me. Got too many other things to do those days - every other year we travel on Thanksgiving and DD2 b-day is the 24, so sometimes it's on Thanksgiving or right before/after.

Its too cold here to camp out, but if it were warmer and there was something I really really wanted i would. I usually go out about 3 or 4 am lol Im a black friday freak .. i love it, I look forward to it like its a holiday

I usually go out about 4am too ....as far as the camping goes, i dont do and dont think i will ever. The stuff i get doesnt cause me to camp out the night before, so im grateful for that.


Dont forget to say a prayer for all families effected by 9/11 tomorrow! GOD BLESS!

Nope...it's not worth getting sick over it due to the cold weather, and even the chance of being robbed. I tend to go out early in the morning.

nope I don't camp out but I do got at around 4am to do some shopping.

Me too!

I used to at walmart but now ours is a 24 hr one so won't have too

our 24-hr walmart closes at 5 or 6 on t-day.... and reopens really early on friday...

Ours does that too now. We are usually standing at the door at midnight and Wal-mart opens at 5 am. I don't take portable coolers and all that though. We take all of the sales papers and our jackets. Nothing else that could slow us down. Also, I've noticed a lot of people run to get buggies first. We learned the hard way the first year we went out, that you want to wait until you've grabbed your big ticket item, then find a buggy. Wal-Mart, ours anyway, always has lines of buggies down sevral aisles throughout the store. So, unless you need a buggy to move your item, leave it until you just have to have one, b/c they will only slow you down.

No, but I will get up early.

I try to get as much online as possible but if there is still something I need, I get up around 4-5am

Last year our fam was out of town and I couldnt get enough time off work.. so my bro and i set out to Best Buy at 11am on Thanksgiving day .. couldnt believe it when we saw that 1 person was already there!! lol.. we set up shop and camped out.. made coffee runs, brought monopoly.. hell it was fun.. we got vouchers for all the big ticket items and the ones we didnt use for ourselves, we sold to ppl in the back of the line for 100 bucks a ticket! .. cant wait to do it again this year!! Good luck to the rest of you

That sounds like fun!

I love it too! I usually go about 12am. But, you might have the right idea going the day before. Maybe I will challenge you to a game of Monopoly!

Don't need anything bad enough to have to camp for it. Even though we get up early and go out for Black Friday we go out for the fun of being out.

I've never camped out but I do go early (around 4:00AM). Last year I stayed up late to shop online. I think some stores started selling online Thursday at midnight.

I camped out last year was not really prepared... I will be prepared this year with warmer stuff (well as long as the temp is above 0)

no ,with kids no way

Camped out last year in the rain. Was 7th in line at Best Buy and my sister was 5th in line at MicroCenter. I was not fully prepared, but toughed it out. Had the warmers, but the rain made it miserable. Wish I'd had a tent. BUT, I snagged great electronic deals!! Definitely worth it.

Need even bigger ticket items this year so will be pulling a repeat -- and probably even going earlier. Joined the line last year at 6 pm.

Oh man that would suck in the rain. Glad you make out though.

I go out every year. I camp out in the line and meet fabulous people. We talk play games share refreshments and make new friends. I don't know what is better the deals we get or the freinds we meet. just make sure you buddy up for safety.

I've never camped out although I liked to

Have kinda a personal question...
What do you do when you drink then nature calls before the store opens?
I go shopping alone and don't have anyone to hold my spot if that happen.
