Saturday 11/26/05
I typed a very long Black Friday post and then somehow "lost" it.
So the short version is: family history always had me doing the Christmas shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving, but not quite early bird specials. After marriage and 2 kids I thought buying anything after Thanksgiving was a sign of poor planning and being unable to budget your funds.
Now, I am back to the old tradition and I survived another Black Friday, only this time I did go for the 5 a.m. specials and saved a significant amount of money on several gifts.
The first post was more detailed, and much longer, but you get the drift. I survived to shop again.
