It's here! The 3rd/4th most wonderful shopping day of the year. I say that because as a because I have a black belt in shopping and I have been competitively shopping for the past 15 years. Yes I do refer to this as a sport, because when done right you can achieve an endorphin high similar to that of a runner.
Many rookies make the mistake of thinking that today is the best day for bargains, on most things it is not. Most retailers will continue to have sales well into the season with the discounts getting deeper the closer to Christmas the calendar moves. Black Friday is one of the best days for getting things while they are still in stock. For instance I am proudly typing today's post from my laptop, purchased 8 hours ago! It was a great price and it will probably get marked down again before the holiday. Thankfully Best Buy will honor their price match guarantee until January 24th, 2013.
Surprisingly the stores were not overly crowded this morning or afternoon. In fact it felt like a traditional Saturday out shopping in many of the locations. Hmmm...maybe the economy is not doing as well people think. Or maybe, we have all wised up to the retailers game and we have had enough. Who knows....but I will continue to do my part to keep the economy growing
