One of my daughters and I have been doing black Friday for years. A few years ago the DGD's wanted to go with us, so we have added them to the fun. We are selective about where we shop and have learned how to avoid the worst of the crowds. We start between 5 and 6 A.M. We call it our "hunting day" We have to be home in time for the guys to head out to the woods for their hunting since there has to be someone home with a special needs DGS. All fun and wonderful. We love it.
