Heres a question for anyone....does shopping on Black Friday just encourage people to buy more stuff they dont need...or do you truly save money on your "Christmas List" items?

I've ventured out on Black Friday for the past five or six years any time I wasn't deployed when I thought there was something I just had to have. Of course I normally end up buying a buch of crap I don't need for other folks just because they would like it and "Hell, it's a good deal". I wouldn't go to Best Buy or something like that and camp out like some of those crazy ****ers (IMO) do and I'm normally not after the ______ that they only have 3 or 4 of in a store though.
The biggest things I can remember buying on Black Friday are a treadmill that was normally $1300 marked down to $700, a TV that was priced $899 down from $1299 the week before and some POS laptop for about $300 (but it got the kid through her first two years of college before everything had to be Apple).
I may venture out to a Wal-Mart (I know, I'm the devil) this Friday and try to buy a set of tires. They're $74 each rather than $159 so I can save a few hundred bucks and I need them anyway, so why not?
