BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING
TOP BLACK FRIDAY WEBSITES
LOS ANGELES, CA 90008
United States of America
It's called Black Friday because of the heavy customer traffic, which tends to bring retailers out of the red (debt) and into the black (profit).
Some people, myself included, never really bought into the early Christmas shopping pressures, but for some, Black Friday shopping is a tradition. In addition, it is truly the best time to catch savings on items that will make great holiday gifts, such as: televisions, computers, CD's, DVD's, jewerly, clothes, and even car parts. (see lists of stores below)
If you do not normally shop on Black Friday, you may want to try it this year. Since consumers' expectations are so high, retailers are pulling out all the stops to entice traffic into their stores. Although Black Friday shopping has great benefits, it also has its drawbacks, especially if you never have experienced extreme shopping before. For example, on Black Friday, stores usually open at abnormal hours, anywhere from 4AM to 6AM. Typically, this could be a good thing, but normally if a store opens at 4AM, people are already lining up outside by 2 AM. Also, there will be longer lines, and some disorganization with the stock items, but that is to be expected. The best advice is to come with a good attitude, and make the best out of your day.
WHO PARTICIPATES
All the major department stores usually have some type of Black Friday discounts, along with chain stores like Wal-mart, Target, and even Pep Boys. Depending on your area, each store will open at a different time so please check with the store in your area. Also, if you can't make it to the stores for Black Friday shopping, remember the internet is also your friend. Typically, the Monday after Thanksgiving, retailers unleash even more discount specials for online purchases only; this is called cyber Monday. Lastly, if you know you can't participate in the Black Friday tradition, head to the stores now and do your shopping. Later, check back with the store and ask for a payment adjustment to get the discounted price of the item you bought.

Post a CommentI'm expecting to see some free stuff and really cheap at Fry's if I can get up early enough to get there before it's all snatched up.
i never participated in black Friday that i can remember. but this year i just might check it out.
I will be NO WHERE near a shopping facility from today (11/20/07) until Jan 20, 2008. That helps me avoid everyone taking back all of those heartfelt gifts they love (stole). :-)
