I don't want to deal with Black Friday crowds now. No way I'd deal with them if I had millions.

People getting trampled to death, fists being thrown around, tasers being pulled out, guns being pulled out... no thanks.

I'll wait until almost equally as good sales happen at other times throughout the year.

I went to a Black Friday at Best Buy in college. Most disappointing thing ever, besides the free coffee and donuts. They had good sales on laptops but they were all really terrible... [ More ]

I know some VERY wealthy people and they ALL pinch pennies. Coincidence

When you have big money like a lottery win, much changes they say! Would I look for sales, sure I would, however I wouldn't waste much time penny pinching. That's 1 of the joys of having big money

I would specifically NOT shop on black friday if my jackpot check cleared. Not because I wanted to avoid lines and crowds and all that. But my first purchases will not be anything on sale. I want to buy all the expensive stuff and have the receipts to prove it

Black Friday has now become Brown Thursday!

That being said, no matter how much money I have (but especially if I have silly money forever) I will never, ever ruin a family holiday to go shopping. Nor will I ever go shopping @ 4-6am to fight unhappy masses trying to kill me to save $100.

I certainly don't need that $100 myself, now or ever.

I'm frugal with my money now, but I still don't do black friday shopping. I did give it a try last year with my wife. I won't do it again, therefore with millions of dollars, I might just go for the after Christmas sale

But real shopping is the fun of Black Friday! I find online shopping so unfullfilling! And am always disappointed when the merchandise arrives in a plastic bag or cardboard box. I always end up returning anything online

I'm not much of a shopper but I would likely use the good online deals for stuff I needed to outfit my new digs!!! Shopping amongst the crowds...not a chance.

That would be me! I love Black Friday shopping I just love being part of the crowds and hustle and bustle! But there is nothing I want to buy enough to queue hours for. Well, last year I did queue for almost an hour at Starbucks. I usually just have fun on Black Friday and do my serious shopping on a different day.

LOL if you re-read what I wrote I also said Or would everyday be your black friday as well...I mean people with money have done crazier things...like for one diving with great white sharks in South Africa, and chumming up the water so they will raise up like Jaws and you can scratch them on their noses...Makes black Friday seem like a walk in the park don't it

billionaire2bee,

Are you yanking our chain here?

I can't think of someone winning multi-millions and dealing with Balck Friday crowds and hustle bustle.

To each their own, but golly.

Do you think that Black Friday would be more fun if you just got your big jackpot check cleared just in time for the silly season?? I love looking over the newspaper after Thanksgiving dinner and seeing what's on sale myself, but ive only ventured out once with one of my sister's and we racked up, but if I won the lottery and had an endless supply of cash it would be even more fun...but of course if i won the lottery, well everyday would be black Friday LOL....but that's me how about you...
