Black Friday shoppers, is the deal really worth the hassle?

Here are some status updates from a couple of Facebook friends who went Black Friday shopping: “I slept 4 hrs. On Wednesday night worked Thursday. Went to moms for dinner shopped last night came home slept 3 more and went back out! Really wasn’t too bad I would definitely do it again!” and ” I started shopping @ 8 last night, got home @ 4:30, slept for 3hrs then went back out to my last stop.”

Seriously, are the deals that great or is about the thrill of the chase? Why do you go shopping on Black Friday?
