Black Friday is known as the day that kicks off the holiday season. In the past, Black Friday has been held the Friday after Thanksgiving, but this year a lot of stores, instore and online, are having their Black Friday 2009 sales earlier. They are doing this, because sales have been down and they want consumers to come to their stores to purchase items.
Electronics are going to be really big this holiday season, and stores have included this in their Black Friday sales promotions. Target has a 32 inch Westinghouse LCD television for $246; Walmart has a laptop for just $198; Best Buy has a 10 megapixel digital camera for only $49.95. A lot of the stores now have layaway plans which make it easier for you to save until you can actually purchase the item.
It is best to get to the stores early because some of the stores have a limited amount, such as 5 per store. Best Buy will open at 3AM and will have doorbuster specials and the Disney Stores will open at 12:01AM to accommodate the shoppers. A lot of the stores will be opening up between the hours of 4AM and 8AM. It is a great idea to make a list of items that you are interested in, and the prices of those items before going to the stores.
Black Friday 2009 Sales: Wal-Mart, Best Buy Target Offering Great Deals
I’m shopping online. There are great Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals
I went the Friday before Black Friday – I think more shops that are complaining that sales are down should look into doing the layaway thing that Kmart and Sears have provided this year – that is the ONLY thing saving me this Christmas – not only am I “done” wayyyy before I usually am, I can make small payments that won’t break me and pick it up right before Christmas so their are no “snooping eyes” finding their gifts either – I LOVE LAYAWAY – just wish more stores offered it again…
i usually go on year around. If you do that then when the holidays come around, you want to rush. That could be hard when you have three kids, i usually hide them in my trunk or under the bed. Last year my boyfriend found some Coogi pants for my son and put them on, when i came to pick him up i knew i recognized them. So that could be hard but i love my family. I always go to the mall for my 12 year old son because he only like certain brands like polo, south pole, rocawear, Coogi, Jordan’s, and lots others.
