Black Friday

        Black Friday, an event that many “deal diggers” would excited about, is coming. The term "Black Friday" was originated in Philadelphia, where it was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. More recently, merchants and the media have used it instead to refer to the beginning of the period in which retailers go from being in the red) to being in the black on the balance sheet. Those shoppers have limited resources consider to use that day to save money and take advantage from the biggest discounts offered during a whole year.

        In fact, stores encourage people to spend more with discounts on all merchandises from home theater to a towel, or even something with a regular price. Shoppers believe that day is to get holiday purchase completed and pretty beneficial for those who expect this day to come for a long time. However, after these brave shoppers stand in cold from midnight to early morning, and the madness that occurs inside the stores Friday morning, how many people really got nice deals or how many of them spend too many after walking out from the stores?

        For me, I rather want to just stay at home, check the online deals. Smart shoppers shouldn’t forget about online deals that are offered during the Black Friday weekend. And please do remember, we still have a Cyber Monday with a smoother online store access and check out.
