Now, I usually don't count myself among the crazy... usually, but this year I am making the trek out at 3:30 in the morning for a quick runaround some places. Yes, it is crazy and I am still wondering whether I'm losing it but I don't qualify as insane... yet.
Insane would be already standing in line somewhere. At this hour, 1:30 in the morning, lines have already formed at many retailers. Here in Chicago, where the temp is around 30 degrees, I would say that that qualifies as insane.
So what kind of deals are we talking about here? There are some pretty good ones out there but not as amazing or crazy as years past. But these are hard times. People are struggling to give their kids what they want. And, unfortunately, most kids aren't old enough to understand why they can't get everything they want. So parents, much like my parents did when I was a kid, did what they had to do... get some or all of what the kids want without breaking the bank. That's not an easy task.
We've posted as many of the Black Friday ads we could get our hands on, listed some online retailers, and put together some other holiday deals. Check it out.
So I'm going to brave the stores, what are you going to do?
