1. I might buy some food, and return an item, but that's about it.

2. You mean, you're not waiting in the dark to stampede at a Wal-Mart?
:rofl:

3. Um, no. Does that mean I'm unevolved?

5. It's funny because for the first time in YEARS I have an urge
to cut a swathe through crowds of grumpy people and find a deal and see the holiday decorations.

I haven't been inside a Mall for four years, I think. Six to shop. Hmm. That's probably unAmerican or something.

7. You could always look at the flyers online, if you want.
I don't see anything wrong with buying something you want on sale, but the stampede is far too obnoxious. I'm not buying a thing today, but - if I did - I would probably buy online.

6. Except for going running, I'm staying home all day
I used to work retail. NO WAY am I going to stores this weekend.
