Black Friday Madness Myth or Fact
So tonight the rush and hustle and bustle for bargains is still in the works this evening. People are at the stores pushing and fighting for the next great big thing. I have witnessed what really happens at these big sales first hand eight years ago. I can only imagine what craziness could be happening now in the shopping aisles. People were fighting over the last Barbie doll, and now they are doing that with the Ipad's and Iphone's. Critics have stated that the whole thing is just a way to get people to come to the stores and spend money. They believe that these so called bargains just do not exist for consumers anymore. The main thing the you the consumer have to focus on when shopping is how much was this item a week ago? Some stores mark the prices up high and then bring it back down a little bit to make the sale seem appealing. When actually there was never a proper bargain to start with.
If you take your time and try to stay away from some of the craziness you will find some diamonds in the rough sales. I have seen the prices of some televisions at Walmart and if you get one today you would save at least $100. Some stores offer loyalty rewards which may also consist of what is called door busters, and a percentage deducted from your entire bill. So when these pop up I say jump at the opportunity for savings and break that store door down. After tonight tomorrow will begin Small Business Saturday and following this will be Cyber Monday. So everyone have a safe and mindful Thanks Giving holiday, and always keep track of your holiday spending.
