BLACK FRIDAY

I have only gone out shopping twice on black Friday. The first time was 3 years ago, and I just went this year. I know everyone always talks about the great deals that your able to get on black Friday, so I thought why not try it again.
The first time I went out on black Friday, I only went to one store. I went to best buy. I sat in a line with 100-150 other people, the line wrapped around the building. Some people pitched tents up and had chairs to sit on. Since it was my first time and my sisters, we just brought some blankets to keep ourselves warm. While sitting in line we started making small talk with the people around us. They seem pretty nice at the time. Eventually the store open, and we began to walk in. Very quickly those nice people began very rude and pushy people. We were able to get our laptops we patiently waiting in line for, but It open my eyes on the people around us.
This year I had a new plan to go out. I actually wanted to look around at a lot of different stores. My sister and I had a plan to go to the Oshkosh Outlet malls. The first store we went to was coach, which I found funny because they had the same sales going on, that you can get at anytime of the year. The second store we went into was NIKE. They had 20% off of your purchase. I thought that it wasn’t a huge money saver, but it was better than nothing.
As we went to other stores, the more I realized the sales that our talked about on black Friday aren’t really saving you much money at all. I felt that now until Christmas day that stores will have the same sales, just as different times rather than all stores in one day. I kind of feel now that black Friday is very over rated. I know I will more than likely go shopping again, just because I enjoy watching the people going crazy over things.

  1. Yeah it is fun to watch as people go crazy over things. There just things that in a few years will go down in price.

  2. With how crazy Black Friday is getting, I think in a few years people are going to go just to watch the shoppers going insane and rushing into stores like cattle.
    I saw a few videos on YouTube of the Black Friday madness, and I think it might be more interesting to watch all the crazy people, instead of watching out for crazy deals. For whatever reason while I was watching these videos the old saying, "Its all fun and games until somebody gets hurt" kept running through my mind.
