There are too many expectations for Black Friday. People may spend less, but I think that's just a function of the lower prices retailers will be offering.

Do you think it'll still be just as crowded as every other year or do you think the crowds may dwindle due to the economy? I will definitely be checking out store ads before so I will know what is available to me. I’ve never been to Black Friday but I’m really looking forward to going this year!

I have so many corporate retail friends who are just salivating to dump their inventory on consumers for a hefty profit. Stand strong consumers and don't go CRAZY this Fri!

These days, you have to fear for your safety as well which makes it a no brainer not to go out anymore.

Like a few years ago - our home audio receiver had died on us, so I went and bought a new one on Black Friday for less than half the normal cost. Of course I didn't buy anything else. This year I need some new tires for my car, and I've found some good deals on tires that will allow me to save $120 on Black Friday on the set of tires I need. So why not! As long as you only shop for what you need, and don't fall prey to the rampant consumerism of the day -I think you'll be fine. :) I don’t usually go out on Black Friday, but when I do it’s only for something that we “need”.
