I love your style! We, DIL and I, did hit 2 stores, later in the day..no malls! DH ordered something the night before .. Black Friday started online the night before at Walmart.
I don't always do Black Friday. In fact, when it got so overcrowded, and people began getting ugly, I avoided it like the plague, for a few years, until they got things more squared away here. Most stores send out ads, or post ads online as to what their Black Friday specials will be. IF, and WHEN there would be something, or somethings that I wanted to get, and the price was too hard to pass up, I would know which store, and what I wanted ahead of time. Get in early, get what I wanted, then get out. To me, that's the way to do Black Friday. Now, it's just as easy to shop online, and they have plenty of online Black Friday deals too.
