Boys, do not attempt this shopping strategy around me. Things may get ugly.

Respondents in a recent national survey conducted by Ask Deals, a savings site from search engine Ask.com, revealed that:

10 percent of men said that their Black Friday strategy is to “get behind someone large and push”

 50 percent of overall consumers “map out their plan of attack days before the sales” 

47 percent of women plan to “get up before the sun rises.”

When it comes to getting their children’s top gift wish, 62 percent say they’ve been saving a little each month, 17 percent are willing to camp out all night and 6 percent of parents have no qualms knocking someone over to get the gift.

Be nice, people!

    My black Friday strategy is to make a pot of coffee and read the morning paper. Wild horses couldn’t get me to the mall/store that morning.
