For many years shoppers have come out in great numbers to start their holiday shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving. This day is known as Black Friday as it has helped many companies become profitable (go in to the Black vs. the Red) from this one shopping day. More recently, shoppers have gone online to shop the Monday after Thanksgiving. This day is known as Cyber Monday.

I Prefer to Shop online on Cyber Monday (46.7%)
I plan to shop both days (Black Friday & Cyber Monday) (33.1%)
I went shopping Thanksgiving day (thurs.) and then again on Sat.
We shopped late on Black Friday and it was GREAT. Everyone else had gone home but there were still good deals and plenty of clothing around still. Parking lots were less crowded!! But can't beat Cyber Monday if you can't find the perfect thing in person! I like the deals that are lasting throughout the weekend and into the next week. More opportunities to get a good sale item!
Online is the only way too go. I finally got with the program and discovered how easy it is online to both shop and compare prices before shopping. Plus this year most companies are offering free shipping as well as free gifts online when you shop. Has to beat driving around and facing the crowded shops anytime.
Cyber monday was disappointing this year. Next year, I'll focus more on black Friday online.
I did both. It was so crazy... JC Penny's was crazy. I did not do the walmart and target because it was just too many people...
With a 20-month-old, I prefer to shop in the comfort of my own home and avoid the crowds. However, I did my Christmas shopping at the mall a few days before because I received their coupon book and saved a lot of $$!
Absolutely shop online for the simple fact that it gives me the freedom to take my time and I don't have to make my way through crowds of people and wait in long lines.
I love the snap and crackle, hustle and bustle of holiday shopping. It is sooo.. exciting to see everyone out shopping. I enjoy the robust feeling that is emanating from all the happy shoppers and retail establishments. And when I've shopped til I've dropped, I can go home, relax, turn on my computer and shop even more!
i do all shopping online and find that black friday isn't what it it used to be! i find better deals on regular days
In our area (Houston suburb) Its really NOT as bad as people think. We usualy get everything we want, without standing in long lines, or getting trampled.
