Black Friday

Each year many families participate in Black Friday events. But do you actually know what Black Friday means? Well... it originated from Philadelphia due to the heavy traffic on the day after Thanksgiving. However, some people prefer to sit in the comforts of their own home, and do their shopping online. The pros of that verses shopping in a store, would be the savings in mileage and gas on your car, shifting through traffic and crowds of people also doing their holiday shopping, and often times you can find more original things online, and sometimes people will sell things for cheap. Sites like Ebay and Craigslist sometimes also come in handy, if looking for good deals. The cons however, would be that often times you have to pay for shipping, which can be expensive sometimes. Also, sometimes shipping can be delayed... and if you need something by a deadline, it can be stressful. I often hesitate to buy clothes and shoes online as well, because sizes differ from store to store, and it is more of a hassle to ship it back verses taking it back to a nearby store.

This year, I would have to say that Walmart and BestBuy had some of the greatest deals.
Technology can be very expensive, and they both had deals!
Be sure to check them out :)
