Nope, no way in hell am I going out into the insanity unless I have to. I'm not going to deal-with/fight crowds for crap. I'm sure that there are deals out there. I suspect the number of actual deals are minimal and designed to work people into a spending frenzy where they then buy a bunch of crap that's not a deal. If I hear about something that I wanted that is actually on sale, then I may order it online, but I'm very unlikely to go out and deal with the public.
