Black Friday...Day After Thanksgiving Sale

The day after Thanksgiving means sales galore. Are you ready for them?

Using the exact definition from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_(shopping)

Black Friday (also called Blitz Day)- the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, is historically one of the busiest retail shopping days of the year. Many consider it the "official" beginning to the Christmas shopping season. The "black" in the name comes from the standard accounting practice of using red ink to denote negative values (i.e., losses) and black ink to denote positive values (profits).

As you can tell it mean Christmas shopping made cheap. Maybe you've heard of it and maybe you haven't. Chances are if you've ever went shopping early the morning after Thanksgiving you have, you just didn't know it had a special name.

Keep in mind that many of these sales have already been going on since 5 a.m., so if you aren't an early bird I hope you set that alarm. Just imagine shopping has been going on now for an hour. It was a mad rush the minute those doors opened especially for those very popular holiday items. The sales normally go from 5a.m. until noon so if you didn't get up in time you can still make it.
