I have been shopping for big ticket items more and more often using Amazon. I sometimes “cheat” though and go look at the item in person at a brick and mortar store first in order to help me decide. I time my visits for when the stores are not going to be insanely busy. As I get older I am beginning to detest crowds more and more. Maybe that’s an age thing or perhaps I am hopefully getting a little wiser? Nah…unlikely. Just older.

Can I ask a stupid question? Where do these people who camp out all night long go pee? The bushes around Best Buy must be pretty gross the day after Black Friday.

Of course, I am not one of those people who would ever consider not paying sales tax on items ordered out of state. Nope, not me! Free shipping helps as well.

New Zealand doesn’t do Black Friday or Thanksgiving, but I’ll certainly keep at least 7 of these tips in mind for the mad christmas rush over the next few weeks

In case you’re wondering which doesn’t apply it’s #7 – I’m ‘physically challenged’ myself – I can’t not take myself to stores and expect to go can I? LOL

yeah it’s crazy I got there an hour before they opened and the line was already a block long, luckily many of those people started leaving when the tickets for the things they wanted ran out

I always heard “Black Friday” was a reference to the fact that a lot of businesses run in the “red” (i.e. at a loss) for most of the year until the Friday after Thanksgiving, where they move to in the “black” (aka made a profit for the year). Makes more sense than traffic gridlock to me, but who knows.

For me, Black Friday marks the end of my shopping for the year. I avoid any of the major chains from there through New Years. I get my holiday shopping done prior to Thanksgiving, and stock up things I need, so I can stay out of the congestion between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Too much of a headache.

Yes, some people were lining up at Best Buy at 8PM yesterday so they would be first when it opened at 5AM
