I think black Friday is a great way to save money for people who haven't started Christmas shopping yet. Most stores have really great deals, that's why a lot of people will wait in line for black Friday sales. However, black Friday can be dangerous! Some people get hurt in those big crowds and sometimes shoppers have a bad habit of pushing others out of the way to get inside the store sooner. If you're going to participate in any sales I suggest you buy things online. Some stores will have black Friday sales on their websites or we have a tradition called "Cyber Monday" where everyone has online sales, but things sometimes get sold out fast. If you're going to a store for black Friday make sure to stay safe and keep in mind that material things aren't worth getting hurt or upset about. Christmas is about being with your family, not gifts! I hope this helps. 

Most Filipinos in the U.S. take advantage of the Black Friday craze. But, most of them only buy what they can sell to their fellow Filipinos back home. They buy it cheap, ship it, and sell it. Hehe :)

I refuse to participate. There's nothing I need or want that badly. 

The whole point of black Friday is to make you spend money, not save. Unless I need something, I will not go and browse the "deals".
