Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

Which do you participate in? Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving), or Cyber Monday (the day everyone goes back to work after the holiday and does a lot of shopping).

Personally, I avoid stores on Black Friday. Way too hectic for me. I'm hoping to get some good deals on Cyber Monday, though.

I usually go out on Black Friday, but mid-afternoon. I woke up at 4am last year, but turned the alarm off and went back to bed!Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

it really depends on what is on sale and what I need.

Where ever the sale is, thats where you will find me.

For the most part I stay away from black friday and usually hit the sales over the weekend though

I am going to do one or two stores on Black Friday and then check out some of my favorite sites on Monday. Nothing too crazy...only for a few deals I was waiting on.

Re: Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

My MIL and SIL have done BlackFriday for years-every year they ask me to go and every year I meet them for lunch and skip the shopping. I cannot stand the crowds-the heat of all those people in one place ugh I hate it! Now I live OOS so I can thankfully skip this yearChat Icon

Re: Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

Neither- I do Cyber Thursday.
Thanksgiving night- after we are all stuffed and full and tired- I jump on the laptop and do all my shopping.
A few clicks of a mouse and VIOLA!
Shopping done- no stress, no crowds no parking.
EVERY SINGLE PENNY I pay in shipping is worth that and more to avoid the bull cr@p of stores!!!

Re: Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

I have gone out on Black Friday for the past few years & love it, however, I am stuck working this year so I will definately be doing some Cyber Monday shopping which I do anyway. Most of my shopping is done anyway.

I'll give black Friday a shot, but NOT at the crack of dawn! I may venture out later in the day, we'll see.

I am not a huge fan of online shopping, I feel like it's such a PIA if you need to return something. so unless it's a DVD, CD or something I know for a FACT that the person wants, I stick to brick and mortar stores.

I do Black Friday online. You get the same deals than in the stores. I found that the Black Friday online deal are better than Cyber Monday from my experience.

No black Friday for me. I have only once in my life gone out on that day!

I do most , if not all my shopping on-line.

NEITHER!!

You wont catch me out on Black Friday- way too hectic and so not worth possibly getting into a car accident since so many people lose their ability to drive around the holidays!

Can't do Black Friday. I hate crowds and people can be obnoxious on that day. My bf and her husband will be out at the outlets at 12am Chat Icon I say they are crazy, but they have 3 kids and she is a SAHM so it is worth it to them.

Maybe when my kids are older and asking for big ticket items, it may be worth it for me. Till then, I will skip.

Same here thats what we might do this year. For years DH and I went out on Black Friday to only get crushed by people and almost get into numerous accidents. Now that online has the same deals as the stores I can sit in my PJ at 5AM and click away.

Re: Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

Neither for me!!! The day after Thanksgiving is for taking out the Christmas Deco and eating the left overs while going through the our favorite ornaments with the kids!!!

I much prefer to shop online that long weekend
