I do have to go to one store, but it won't be early. I like to be in the crowds but not part of the crowd. Will Joanne's have items on sale that they don't usually? And if you have a 40% or 50% off at other times, does it work out to be about the same price?

I don't push and shove, and last year, at sears, when the pushing and shoving started, i sorta hid in women's underwear until the madness died down. lost out on a couple of deals, and took me a while to find the bf again, but at least i wasn't hurt!
=) It also helps to go in with a smile-ly, shiny attitude, it disarms those mean crazies.

It seems the crazy hours and such started aroung late 70's early 80's. As soon as one store opened at 7 am, the next year there were stores opening at 5 or 6 etc. each year someone getting earlier. So now there is an outlet mall about an hour away that is opening at midnight and the first so many (I forget the #) that arrive in pjs get some kind of discount coupon or something. Then yesterday some store here is staying open all night -never closing on Thursday, and the "door-buster" prices go into effect at 5 am. Personnally I feel sorry for the staff that has to come in to work these crazy hours.
It seems to me that the really slashed prices that can't be found at other times are for items that are very limited in supply and very few actually get one. Also seems to me most of the folks that are out there for the day are in it for the thrill of the hunt, or to get all the shopping done in one day so they don't have to put up with crowds, and being tired when they go after work.
The one who posted she gets in, gets her batting for the year, and gets out sounds like the only way I'd be out there.
