Is Black Friday Shopping in Lubbock Even Worth It Anymore?

Back in the 90s, Black Friday shopping in Lubbock was practically a competitive sport.

My aunt and my mother would wake up at ungodly hours, bundle up, and drag me along to stand outside Walmart, Best Buy, and Target, waiting for the doors to open.

All for the chance to save $25 on a toaster and possibly get elbowed in the eye by someone's granny.

Remember when Black Friday was truly only ONE day?

Do people really crawl out of bed for those early morning shopping trips when they have the option to order online? I feel like most people are doing their shopping from bed, and I can't say I blame them.

If only we'd had that option when I was a kid.

Still, there was something strangely magical about watching a crowd of people fight over a PlayStation.

Between online shopping, early sales, and having the ability to have basically anything delivered to your doorstep, I'm not exactly sure why anyone would put on pants and fight the Black Friday crowds.

But…does that mean there won't really be any crowds?

Hmmm…maybe it's worth it after all.
