With about 70 days left until Black Friday 2011, people start getting excited thinking about their Black Friday shopping activities. Like me, I’m sure you’re starting to think about the line-ups, researching what you’re going to buy, and getting psyched up about jostling your way through the crowds to get one of the rare door-buster deals.

Thinking about the years where I’ve lined up early (because I really wanted to get one of the door-buster deals), I decided to find the Top 5 Black Friday Crowd Photos online.

#5. Big crowd ready to push the doors open on Black Friday

#5 – This scene will be familiar to all Black Friday shoppers. The crowds have been waiting around for a few hours now. It’s still early morning and they may have just seen some employees inside the doors so they start jostling. I’m not sure what the girl in front with the coffee cup will do with that coffee. As soon as the crowd starts to really move, it’s going to spill all over her (and anyone around her). Scenes like this make me feel at home on Black Friday.

#4. Best Buy Black Friday crowds

#4 – Although the crowds at Best Buy are always huge and electronics is definitely one of the major purchases during Black Friday, Best Buy always has great control of the crowds. They place a lot of employees on the floor to help answer questions and direct the shopping. I have always thought they do a better job than Wal-Mart or Target in having enough staff and dealing with the crowds. I always look for great Best Buy Black Friday deals.












#3. Cheap jeans? At Bass Pro Shop? What a waste of a Black Friday!

#3 – This is the Black Friday clothing madness at Bass Pro Shop. I’ve never lined up and fought the crowds for clothes…especially cheap jeans. Why would you even bother dealing with the Black Friday crowd madness…for cheap clothes?






#2. No one lines up for Office Max Black Friday. That lineup is for Kohl's!

#2 – Kohl’s always has some fantastic Black Friday sales. Each year, it seems like they go head-to-head with Sears to lure the most Black Friday shoppers at a department store. That’s what this lineup is. Don’t be fooled by the Office Max in the photo. I don’t know anyone who lines up for Office Max. If you want electronics, Best Buy’s Black Friday sales are much better.




#1. That is a great Black Friday expression.

#1 – Here’s my favorite Black Friday crowd shot. I love the expression of the lady in the middle. She’s going to definitely do some damage to her bank account…or someone just stepped on her foot. I also really like the tenacity of the lady holding open the door with one hand and clothes-lining another lady with her other arm. She must have worked out and built some muscle up for Black Friday.

These photos have started to get my blood flowing. We’re going to post up Black Friday ads as soon as their available. Remember to enter your email and we’ll send you notice as soon as we get an ad (we will get some of them before you see them in the newspaper). Also, remember that you can purchase a lot of the Black Friday deals online. Save yourself the hassle of the crowds.
