Black Friday - what is it?
For those not in America, Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving which is normally the biggest shopping day of the year. People tend to go crazy and just spend money shopping. The problem is that they shop even if they don't need it.
Now, many of these people wait the whole year for this weekend, to get the best deals.
Now, yes, there are some people who camp out to get the best deals, and there are some incredible deals, for the first 20-30 people in line. I however, do my homework, and am patient, and buy a lot of stuff online, or at stores. These deals can be good, if you are not particular into what you want.
For example, a 46" LCD television for $399.00 is a great price, considering some are averaging about $600 or so. Yes, $200 does not sound like a lot but it is to some people.
Ipad 2. Normally $399.00. Wal-Mart, if you go from 10-11 tomorrow evening, it is $399 - $75 gift card. But, last night on Best Buy online, it went down to $339.00. Boom, I bought one. My friend bought another. Free shipping. Saved $60.00.
For me, I just bought 3 32g Compact Flash Cards (the lowest I found before for these was $59.00). Last night, they went down to $34 each. Boom, saved $45.
Now I am looking for a tv (I dont need one, I just am looking). But if I find the right one, like the Samsung 55" LED television for $799 (which is on Best Buy now), it sound good. Still, tonight, might head to Target to see what they have, and their surprise doorbuster deals just may have a 55" television for around that much, coupled with my 5% red card deal, and an additional 5% special deal. That is $80 cheaper.
So yes, buying for Christmas, Hannukah and the holidays, you can save hundreds of dollars if done right!
