I'm with you cranky.. I'll be as far away from Wal-mart as possible on Black Friday, and I also avoid it on weekends, and also go early mornings, in and out with no hassle.   Besides all my Christmas shopping is done  :D.  I am sure we will find things here and there to pick up to add to the massive piles but if Christmas was tomorrow i'd be all set.  I will go out on Black Friday but most likely to the Mall only because I enjoy getting a pretzel and drink and sitting on a bench watching all the ppl with panic on their faces (yeah I have a sickness) hehehe.

Good luck to all who will be camped out at their local Wal Mart on Black Friday. Thank goodness, i will not be working that Friday, for the first time in years, lol. I will not be anywhere near Wal Mart, shoot i won't go there on the weekends let alone Black Friday, if i need something, i usually go around 3 or 4 in  morning, no rude ppl to contend with, no waiting in the checkout line, just in and out, real quick lol, good luck all, hope you all get what you are looking for

Excellent, thanks. 

I had to work the week before Thanksgiving-January 2nd two years in a row for Mervyn's.  I was out on the floor for the "Push and shove with your screaming kicking kids so you can all fight for a free .99 cent snowman bobble head and then tear items off the shelves and make a huge mess".  To me, everyday was Black Friday lmao.

Are Walmart was just overhauled and turned into a Super Walmart, it was open 24 hours before this...but that's good to know.  I can just camp out on a bean bag for a few hours while I "test it's durability" next to electronics. ;)

As for things being misplaced while my back is turned- that is why I take my mother.  She may be paralyzed from the waist down and in a wheelchair, but she has that hot latin temper.  If anyone so much as LOOKS at the goodies in my cart, they hands will be gone! :D  She's so full of s***, no wonder we get along so well haha!
Mmm....greenbean casserole

... if you shop while you have certain "big' items they may be accidently missplaced out of your shopping cart while your back is turned.. hehehe...

If you live where you have a Super Walmart they are open 24 hrs.. and therefor will be open without you having to stand outside in line.. I have a very good friend who works for walmart as an asst. manager and I can tell you that all the items for the "Black Friday" sale will be on pallets and ready to come out from the back at 6am and some will start going to the floor by 5am but they wil stand guard and not let you get them till 6am.. so my advice is if you want a particular item from say electronics.. make yourself a turkey sandwich, grab your cell phone hopefully with verizon and pogo to go games, or gameboy etc.. get a thurmose of coffee or stop by your local Big Foot for a big gulp cup.. then head for walmart around midnight or 1am, go to sporting goods first grab a camping chair try it out, get comfy and park yourself by the closest entrence to electronics watch for the pallet for the say printer/scanner/copier and then at 6am grab it run like the wind to the first register you see.. go lock the thing in your car and then come back and shop... if you shop while you have certain "big' items they may be accidently missplaced out of your shopping cart while your back is turned.. hehehe...

Black Friday is normally the day most retailers go into the "black" and start turning a profit for the year.

I like the green bean casserole idea better though.  :)

Thanks Jeffer.  It isn't totally accurate though because it is all scarffed up on Turkey day.  It barely has the chance to get cold, let alone start to go bad  ;)  I think it lasts through the meal, the after nap feeding, and the late afternoon feeding, but is usually gone around midnight snack time.   ;D

Black Friday is traditionally know as the Friday following Thanksgiving. ;)

In honor of what the green bean casserole looks like if you forget to put it away the day before  :o

Black Friday = This Friday or?  ???

I really need one of those combo Printer/Copier/Scanner, I'd be willing to put on a football helmet and run people over with my shopping cart. ;D
