Personally, the only reason why the sales are up 3% is because the prices have gone up substantically. Not ot mention as they had made comparisions from the last 10 years, INFLATION people. Prices have gone up. Not the amount of goods they like to say they are selling. Big sales or not, $300 for a 32 inch flat screen is still alot. To me, that isn't a deal at all. IMO.

I agree that it rally wasn't any sales on alot. I went to 7 different stores and come home with 2 bags of clothes. I mainly wanted electronics and I just didn't jump for joy at the prices. At this time in our economy I just don't find worldly things that importatnt. Anyway, I always wait until after Christmas.

My cousin and I have done black Friday every year for the past few years now and after this past Friday I don't know if I will do it anymore. There were no good sales I found nothing! People were running, pushing, shoving (more then normal). I got most of my shopping done at Mervyns which is going out of business. It really was not worth the shopping this year at all.

~YOU MUST... why do you feel like anyone gives a flying rat's a$$ what you do with your time/money. Learn how to spell, and get a life.

um, hi! I REALLY like cheese. yup!
~have a nice day please~

hm.....

Come on, a dude died because of it, its totally not worth it

wow their bitches

what is this sugar s*** i thought this was about black friday, which i think the stores should get rid of all of the special sales.

Went to mervyns........that was not a sale.............they raised prices. After sale, normal price.

GO OKLAHOMA SOONERS AND THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES

I can't believe Oklahoma edged out Texas

Longhorns deserve it

non-sales* sucked. newegg owned them all. hell with staying up all night for an iffy 5% discount. way to let spammers in !!

Businesses pulled out all the stops this year, to boost sales during times of financial hardship for many. They made it worth my while to get out of bed at 4am. I got tons of great deals and didn't encounter any rude people. I guess that's just a midwest thing....If you're going bargain shopping in New England on black friday, pack mace and a stun gun.

People get to crazy these days.I wasnt even that impressed with the sales this year

Texas should've stayed #2 since they beat OU head to head on a neutral field.

I am afraid for the people who are so caught up in commercialism as a tradition. This appears to be a time for people to reconsider ways to curbe their appetites and examine all things we buy when we don't even have money. I have learned a lot from Dave Ramsey on this to learn not to give in to the dictates of others, but to be in wisdom and thinking ahead.

Sickening....we sure have our values in the right places today don't we gang?

Are all of these so-called Big 12 fans really arguing for the right to be embarrassed by the SEC? The real national championship game is next Saturday in Atlanta! Who cares which Big 12 team finishes 2nd??

Every single year it is the same. Greedy people are suckered into believing they are getting some deal from the giant company. People are truly the lambs led to the slaughter house!!!! MORONS

I don't have a 'sick'; how can I get one to click until I'm sick?

That's what the author of this article says to do, 'click till your sick' What a great example of why spell check in the ruin of the English language.... how about click (un)til you're sick....

I cant believe the crap I have heard about this weekend. I have never had the motivation and I knew I didnt have the patience to put up with saving a few bucks menatlity to push, shove, stomp and even in some places, put people in the hospital and kill people for black friday shopping/ Comgrats, you saved a few bucks but depressed others for a loss over a few coupons. You Greedy people suck. If you cant walk into a place respectfully of those aroud you, you are all guity, if you have waited in line and have the ability to ignore those ignorant, line butters who will trample on anyone to save a buck, good for you, I could never put up with the stupidity.

I have a wonderful Christmas without Black Friday and woud rather spend a few xtra hundred bucks then stomp to death a family member that would have joined his family the Christams you runined. Ill never join you, you are rude, ignorant and disrespectful. (exclude the ones who are victums)

TUCK FEXAS! BOOMER SOONER!!!!

Most of the item i find is better price online than instore, avoid the long line and crowded is a big plus, i has to work that day so therefore online my best bet. Price of black friday isn't much cheaper than usual, because most retail has aleady cut the price way before black friday.

economy is not going to get better in 1 month, the sales will continue past black friday. no reason to get in a rush just gives me time to sift through all the deals.

this article was incredibly boring and did not appeal to my interest at all.

All I have to say is BOOMER SOONER! :)

PEOPLE ARE NUTS. WHY DON'T YOU WAIT TILL CHRISTMAS IS OVER THEN THERE WILL BE BETTER SALES BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GET RID OF ALL THE CRAP.

I got some good deals at Radio Shack and didn't have to get a ticket, run through the store, or wait in a long line. I bought my stuff and went home and went back to sleep. It was sad about the crowd running down the poor employee opening the door at Walmart. It shows where people's hearts are really at....
