I admit, I am one of the crazies who start shopping at midnight on Black Friday and this is why.....
Our local outlet mall opens at midnight on this day and most of the stores have amazing sales. I use this opportunity to purchase necessities mostly and a few gifts. Here is an example of what I got this year:
18/10 Oneida Stainless Steel Flatware service for 4 $7.00
(originally $60, on sale for $20, 50% for shopping at midnight, another 20% or so for spending over $50)
Oneida stoneware place settings for 4 $5
9 pc anodized aluminum cookware set $35
7 pc. bakeware set $7
Mens Slacks $8.50 originally $115
(on sale, then 50% off, then 40% off again, and then an extra percent off for shopping at midnight.)
Polo Ralph Lauren Chino's $24
Lacoste sweater $13
This is why I join the Midnight Madness crowd, however I have never waited in line for a store to open or rushed to get a particular item. I browse and find amazing deals on random items that we can use. So I am on my way to helping my college students set up their apartments at a fraction of the cost it would otherwise be.
I am deeply saddened by this event in New York and am dumbfounded that people did not stop to help the Wal Mart empolyee. My condolences go out to his family, friends and coworkers.
