I have friends who just love the 'black friday' sales. I was never one of those! In the first place, I'm just not a morning person, lol; I'd much rather sleep than get up at 4am to go shopping. Those friends just loved the 'freebies' that the major department stores gave out to the first customers: things like tiny water globes, etc. They would be 'out' at 5am, looking for bargains. Not me, lol. Now, that was when they were 'younger'; they are now in their 50's and I don't think they do it any more. Well, I do know one neighbor still does. I'm not sure if the 'big' department stores still give out 'freebies'; in fact, in our closest mall, I think there is only one of those stores left.
This year, my daughter had talked me into looking at laptops at the Black Friday sales; luckily for me, I found an even better deal before that--so I didn't have to bother with it. Yes, I had 'looked' at the 'sneak peek' sale brochure & found exactly what I wanted in a laptop; but looking at the regular site of that store, I found a different model with the exact same set up--with an 'instant savings'. So I got that and didn't even think about the Black Friday sale after all.
