I never have to fight traffic at Home Depot at 6 o' clock in the morning. Its usually a quiet morning, folks lined up, smiling, laughing, greeting, going through the handed flyers, and gearing up for some free Dunkin' Donuts coffee and donuts. I just go the holiday feeling.
There is nothing spectacular on Black Friday. Its usually outgoing models on sale and stuff which couldn't be sold in the first place (low demand) or just stocking fillers. Also trying to lure in a freebie, when in reality it ain't free. A great time for procrastinators that haven't been eyeing a deal during the regular time of the year. Its a great time of year for impulse shoppers and hoarders alike and a time to enter euphoric-mode thinking they just got themselves into a great deal
Guess what, much of what I see on sale during Black Friday has been cheaper pretty much during other times of the year. Oh, and the clearance deals, you get what I mean, no pun-intended
