Black Friday- Is it Just Me?

Or are the deals leaked so far, just not worth waking up for? I mean I have to be up at 5:00 anyway for work, but I would have gotten up at 4:00 to do some shopping before hand.

So far I have seen the drug store deals and realistically they are no better than I could do year round with coupon-sale match ups. I have also seen some scans from big box stores. A lot of what they are offering are just not giftable. More stuff for my house or clothing, toys for young kids (not even great deals IMHO).

Actually, last year the only must have deals we found were at Staples. And hubby was even willing to get up and drag my then 12 year old out at that early hour.

Hopefully, as more ads leak out, my opinion will change....... Not counting on it though.

Am I missing something? Is there something you have found to be excited over?

I feel the SAME way, I scanned some of the ads and NOTHING is calling to me. I'm hoping to find some good online deals...I hate waking up early, lol.

I soooo agree with you!! I have seen some ads already and am totally uninspired! I remember years ago my daughters and I getting up early and going out...it was just so much fun. Everyone was happy and the sales were great. Now, not so much!!!

I've only seen the CVS sneak peek and there were only one or two freebies listed. Nothing like last years deals.

I agree. NOTHING at all is catching my eye. Im getting the newspaper, per the norm, on thursday and look through the ads, but all the sneakpeaks thus far have got me wanting to just sleep the morning and not have to get up in the middle of the night to get a deal!
