Black Friday doesn't really have Good Deals?



The Wall Street Journal found that many door buster deals on Black Friday can be found many other days of the year as well and was actually cheaper than the Black Friday deals. For example at Sears they offered a product at $319 and it was also found earlier that year in March for $296. That Black Friday deal does not look like a deal to me. I'm glad I always choose to sleep in and not go about the mad masses on Black Friday. The Wall Street Journal may have just saved me from going Black Friday shopping in the future. After hearing about all the crazy things that happen to Black Friday shoppers, maybe this article will keep others from going out next year also. I had already assumed some of these things about Black Friday shopping, but why don't others see it this way as well? This article maybe a first of many to slow down the Black Friday shopping but it would probably take years of these to show any drastic change in numbers. I just know you won’t be seeing me out on Black Fridays.
