Anybody going shopping on Black Friday?

DH and I have lived in a very big city so we know the very worst of it all. We now live in a very small town and the town next to us is more than 10 times less than what we are use to.

Now that we are having a baby five months along, DH does not want me to come with him because he is afraid I will get uncomfortable waiting in the car and in line, get knocked over by impatient shoppers, and trip on stuff.

I guess I am better off going with MIL, she said last year was not bad at all when she went with SIL. There was hardly anybody at Walmart and they were done by 9 or 10.  She plans on going with one of our Aunts this year.

I'm a little bummed but I know DH could be right.

I'm going shopping but not early in the morning like most people, later in the day when most things have calmed down. If there was something that we really needed or wanted DH would go himself. I dont really want to go and wait in line and have to leave to use the bathroom or get hit or anything.

I wasnt going to go because I know how ruthless our Walmart can be - and normally I am okay with that - because I can give as well as I get - but being 8 months pregnant - I tend to think that isnt the best idea. 

I was set to sleep in until I saw that Home Depot has the garage opener that I want for only $99 (oppose to the $250 orginal cost) and they have a pre lit 7.5 foot Christmas Tree on sale for $49.

I told DH - grab your hat and coat at 5 in the morning - because we are hitting up HD.  I told him if he acts as full back and does some blocking I can get through.

I avoid it at all costs.  I'll be decorating my house for Christmas on Black Friday!

I'll probably do a bit of shopping - but only if I survive working 9 hours in the morning at a BRU/TRU first

Maybe. Our TV blew up recently and we need a new one. I'll look at the circulars that come out tomorrow nad decide if it's worth the headache.

I never go. I probably should, it would be worth the time I'm sure, but I hate crowds and rude people that come with that...so I just go on Saturday and deal with left overs Some day....I'd like to go because I think it could be fun!!

I'm going with my mom and sister. If you go and get uncomfortable, you can always leave. I think if people see that you're pregnant, they'll be more conscious of it and not run you over.

Me! I love it and I go every year. I'll probably need a nap halfway through the day but I'm going!

I am going and I can't wait.  It's like a girls day out for my grandma, aunts, mom, sister, etc... We get up at 8 and shop until about 11, but the best part is the 2 hour lunch.  We all have some wine (not me this year), and the food is always great. If I get tired, I'll just go home after we eat and not shop in the afternoon.
