Black Friday: A new twist to an old tradition

The one day that every American shopper looks forward to is the Friday after Thanksgiving, also known as Black Friday. Black Friday is famous for being the one day that stores have door-busting sales and extended store hours. Most people take advantage of these amazing offers to get ahead in their Christmas shopping or to get good deals on home appliances and electronics.

“Black Friday” deals typically begin starting from Halloween weekend at stores such as Toys R Us and Sears. These deals are expected to continue every weekend leading up to Black Friday. There are a wide range of stores that are offering these early discounts to consumers. Because of the economic recession, people are demanding bigger sales for longer periods of time.

Most shoppers have been trained to look for bargains during the recession. By extending the sale period, stores are hoping to have a greater turnout of customers this year. These stores hold sales in hopes that when a shopper comes in for a bargain item, they will also leave with a regular priced merchandise as well.
This year, it should be a lot easier to do some early Christmas shopping with these longer sales, and you may not have to visit as many stores on actual Black Friday since these great deals will be available to you earlier, saving you some quality time you can spend with your family! Be a safe shopping and remember to always compare bargains for the best deal possible.
