The easiest way to remember, and the only truly correct way to say it is to put the other person first:


My friends...
 

And then, to know whether to use "I" or "me," you remove the friends from the sentence. Example:


I want to go to the store.
Me want to go to the store. --> wrong


So now you put the friends back into the sentence before yourself.


My friends and I want to go to the store.

If it's the object of a sentence, you do the same:


The man at the store said hello to my friends...


The man at the store said hello to I.--> wrong
The man at the store said hello to me.


So: The man at the store said hello to my friends and me.

Don't use I and my friends. I've never heard anyone say it that way. It just sounds bad.
