So, it's almost here, the day after Thanksgiving when much of America floods into stores to grab the best deal possible on Christmas gifts or other items they've been wanting, only at a reduced price.
Well - Do you do Black Friday?
Yay or nay?
Some stores this year are starting a full week early!
Unless I'm having a blackout of a Black Friday unaware in my past, I believe I can announce that I have never ever done Black Friday. Though, my husband did one year. He got up at like 4:30 or 5ish (very much unlike him) and headed for the stores. I know he got me a leather jacket that year (which I still have and still very much love), but other than that; the best deals he came home with were the goodie bags that stores were handing out to the first 100 customers. He actually got a few from different stores. Yay him!
Even if you don't celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah, there is surely some gift-giving opportunity in your life or even just the need to replace a broken blender or TV, where a sale of Black Friday magnitudes would come in handy.
I'm not a crowd person. I am one who very much prefers to have things ready ahead of time so I can "relax", which I actually seldom fully do since there's always something that pops up needing to be tended to. Though, I will admit that shopping in my PJs, online, is not always that relaxing either.
I do, however, know people who get a real rush out of waiting till the last minute to gift buy, or to do anything in their lives. They like that adrenaline rush, I suppose.
Whether or not you like the rush of finding a bargain or the feel of people all around, what do you think about Black Friday sales?
I Love Black Friday shopping! I get a thrill when I can get the kids $10.00 scooters or $3.00 jammies! Black Friday shopping helps us be able to give more to others throughout the year because we spend so little on Christmas presents.
