I hope this cuts down on the craziness!! Went this year for the first time, my friend and I stood in line for three hours to get in, all the while saying we would not be doing this again, then stood in line for another 2.5 hours to pay saying we are not wasting our time on this sale ever again! - Now we are making plans to attend next year

It will always be crazy!! I feel sorry for the men and kids that go.

I am considering going. Is it better to go on the first day when the selection is better or do the prices get discounted more over the weekend?

Do you think it's worth it? I have wanted to go for two yrs, but the first yr, I was very pregnant and not up to standing in line and a long car drive. The second yr, I had a young baby that I couldn't leave at home. One of my friends went and was so disappointed. She had gone previous yrs and loved it, but last yr, the deals were not that great, the selection was not good, the lines were awful too. She said she would have been better off saving herself the trouble of the drive/time by just ordering online or calling up one of the outlet stores and having them ship to her. I feel like the annual outlet sale probably isn't that good compared to before, b/c now VB has their own B&M outlet stores, so send stuff there.
