Default Black Friday
Question, how many people are planning on cutting back their holiday shopping this year in light of the economic challenges of this year?

This year won't be much different for me than it was last year..I don't make a whole lot and never have been able to take advantage of a Black Friday..

Not sure I would even if I could though..I hate crowds

I am definitely cutting back on my shopping - but I am on my way to Vegas for 3 days and I don't intend to gamble any less

the store should have been shut down and treated as a crime scene. all those people should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
