It’s that time of year again! Racing and rushing and sales, oh my!
Not to say this in the most cliché way as possible, but I’m a 17-year-old girl and I love to shop. It brings a certain joy and accomplishment after finding something you really like. It gets even better when you find something you love on sale.
The best sales of the year can be found on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, where stores open at midnight.
This eventful day of the year can be for all sorts of shoppers. If you are looking for anything from a new game station to a new TV, or even for new pair of shoes, this day could be the perfect day for you.
Personally I use this day to shop for Christmas gifts. A month before Christmas is the perfect time to get all the shopping done.
Another great way to look at Black Friday is as an outing. You and your family can have a nice Thanksgiving dinner then gear up for a full night of shopping. You could even grab a group of friends and shop all night.
Black Friday is another monumental day in the holiday season-the event right after Thanksgiving that leads you into getting ready for Christmas.
Whether you’re a shopaholic or someone who’s just looking for a deal. You’ll find this day to be rewarding and enjoyable. I have every year I’ve gone. The experience of going Black Friday shopping makes for great stories and a gift you can have for a lifetime.
A couple years back me and my mom waited in line all night for a Wii. It was my brothers Christmas present that year. We were able to be fifth in line at Target getting there at 11 o’clock. This was when some stores didn’t open until six in the morning. We brought chairs and blankets and camped out until the store opened. Luckily ended up getting a Wii before they ran out.
Another year we were at Best Buy getting games, movies and a TV. The line was wrapped around the whole store and kept going down the parking lot. That’s something to keep in mind when you’re thinking about when to head out to start waiting in line.
Dealing with crowds is one thing but dealing with sales people is another. Every time I’ve been I have always gotten nice and helpful sales people or employees. It’s like stores bring out the best of their best workers to work on Black Friday.
Black Friday is known for having crazy crowds. I would have to agree that sometimes the crowds get to be a lot. But nothing you can’t handle. Have a destination in mind and ideas for things you want to buy before you go out to shop. This way you are not stuck in the middle of crowds trying to decide where to go. Black Friday shopping can go smoothly if you have an idea in mind.
If the crowds aren’t for you there’s other options. There are online deals as well. Some stores even open Thursday night. If you want to beat the crowd or not deal with the crowd you can always go Thursday night or later in the day Friday. There are always other options.
I highly suggest if you’ve never been Black Friday shopping that you go this year. Don’t miss out on another year you could be saving money on gifts or clothes or other possessions. Get to the store or the mall and shop away.
Black Friday only comes once a year so take advantage of it! I’ll see you there.
