Do you go shopping at Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

No. But I figure it's the best day to enjoy the people of Walmart

No! It’s too tempting to spend my money until I have nothing but pennies!

No chance. 8O
I go shopping when there are the fewest other shoppers about, and even then I don't really like it.
However, the Black Friday thing is not such a big deal in the UK as in the USA, I think, and I'd never even heard of Cyber Monday before.

Nah, don't want to spend money on the bus tickets just to go shopping when I don't actually need anything... if I had to go to town anyway on that day then it'd be another story; I'd definitely check if there'd be any good sales.

Not if I can help it. I think it's absolutely stupid and disgusting. I'd rather watch a video of wild carnivorous animals ripping apart a deer carcass. It would be more pleasant than seeing how humans generally act, let alone experiencing it.
A new store is opening up this Friday, but I don't plan to go check it out until Monday at least.

no, no, no. Why would I even think about 1 hour of traffic to get in, 1 hour to get out for an experience similar to bieng jammed into a Japanese subway at rush hour combined with the loudness of a 60’s acid rock concert?. And as a bonus get stampeded and trampled on.

Unless there's a particular deal I'm hunting for, no.

I'm not going out tonight or early tomorrow, but maybe later tomorrow with my family. I order stuff online a lot though, so I'll probably buy a few things on Monday.

I did it once. I got the wireless computer mouse I am still using on sale from (RIP) Radioshack, but it really doesn't appeal to me considering the crowds. When it comes to Cyber Monday, unless there is something I REALLY WANT, I don't bother.

However, since I sell online, I make sure to promote myself as much as possible to get my own slice of the increase in sales for Cyber Monday and the entire holiday season. I still may not agree with stores and companies promoting Christmas sales when Halloween barely passed by let alone Thanksgiving, but I can understand why they do. There really is an uptick in people buying around this time of year.

Today on Thursday I went shopping at the mall, and surprisingly it was fairly quiet. People must be holding out until tomorrow. But I got some really good bargains, anyway. :D
