I know there are bargains to be found and bought on Black Friday, but I have yet to find one that was worth the sacrifice of my sleep. So Black Friday isn't foreign to me. In fact, for 13 years I awoke at 4:45 AM every Black Friday to work at the store when it opened at 6 AM. He LOVES to shop on Black Friday.
